Born in Mandeville and raised on John's Lane in Kingston, his father was an Anglican preacher.Clarke explained that his 'Bunny Rugs' nickname came from his grandmother calling him 'Bunny' as a child because he would "jump around the house like a rabbit" and from a member of the Third World road crew calling him 'Rugs' because of his liking for sleeping on the floor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunny_Rugs

In early 2014 he was hospitalized in Orlando, Florida, where he was treated for leukemia.He died on 2 February, 4 days before his 66th birthday. He is survived by his wife and five children.
