In 1983, Patricia Clarke gave birth to a baby boy who would make headlines across the country. Kevin Robert Clark weighed an astonishing 16 pounds at birth, making him the largest baby ever born at Community Memorial Hospital in New Jersey. His massive size was a shock to everyone, including his parents, who had to special order baby clothes and a custom-made crib to accommodate their gigantic newborn.
As Kevin grew up, his size continued to make waves. By the time he was 12, he stood at an impressive 5 feet 7 inches, and by junior high, he had shot up to 6 feet 5 inches.
Kevin’s height became a defining feature of his life, with strangers constantly asking him how tall he was. He learned to take it in stride, even joking about his height and asking people if they played miniature golf when they asked if he played basketball.
Today, Kevin is a 39-year-old man who stands at an incredible 6 feet 9 inches tall. He’s a former military man who lives with his 6-foot-tall wife and their Great Dane. Despite being born into the limelight and dealing with constant attention and questions about his height, Kevin seems to be handling it with ease. He’s learned to live with his unusual size and even finds humor in it. As he continues to navigate life as a giant among men, Kevin remains a fascinating figure who continues to capture the imagination of people everywhere.
