Darrel spent the last 30 years as the Seneca Veterinarian. He had a passion for animals and a talent for treating them. If he wasn’t at the Vet Clinic or on an emergency vet call Darrel could be found at his home playing in the garage. Darrel was a shooting enthusiast and eventually turned that hobby into a business “Clark Arms”, manufacturing firearms.
Darrel graduated from Clearwater High School in 1981 and K-State School of Veterinary Medicine in 1988. He then completed post educational training in Texas and specialized in Embryo Transfer of Cattle. Over his career Darrel owned and operated multiple Veterinary Clinics, including Columbus and Seneca, Mo. He also previously owned The Welch Stockyards and his most recent establishment “Clark Arms” manufacturing firearms.
