In 1983, Patricia Clarke gave birth to Kevin Robert Clark, an astonishing 16-pound baby, making headlines as the largest infant born at Community Memorial Hospital and possibly all of New Jersey. Kevin’s size turned him into an instant celebrity, earning appearances on popular shows like Saturday Night Live and Good Morning America. Despite his record-breaking birth weight, he was healthy, and his unique story captured nationwide attention.
As Kevin grew, his extraordinary height continued to amaze. By age 12, he was already 5’7”, and by junior high, he reached an impressive 6’5”. Embracing his stature with humor, he quipped, “I like to joke that I’m 5-foot-21. When people ask if I play basketball, I ask them if they play miniature golf.” Now 40 years old and standing at 6’9”, Kevin has grown used to the constant curiosity about his height, admitting, “There isn’t a day that goes by when someone doesn’t ask me how tall I am.”
Today, Kevin lives a fulfilling life with his 6-foot-tall wife and their Great Dane. A former soldier, he has adapted to life with his extraordinary stride, handling the attention with grace and humor. His journey from a record-breaking baby to a towering adult reflects a lifetime of navigating the world with unique challenges and a positive outlook.
