Patricia Clarke’s discovery of her pregnancy in 1983 came with a strong intuition: her baby was likely to be on the larger side. With a family history of big babies, she anticipated a hefty arrival. Little did she know just how massive her child would turn out to be.
On the eventful day of Kevin Robert Clark’s birth, Patricia delivered a baby weighing over 16 pounds. Kevin not only set records at Community Memorial Hospital but potentially across New Jersey as one of the largest babies ever born in the state. His size posed immediate challenges—standard cribs were too small, and baby clothes didn’t fit. Yet, Kevin’s health brought immense relief to his parents amid the overwhelming attention.
Kevin’s extraordinary size quickly made headlines nationwide, earning him spots on popular television shows like “Saturday Night Live” and “Good Morning America.” His story captivated audiences, fascinated by the sheer scale of his birth and subsequent growth.
But Kevin’s journey was only beginning. By age 12, he stood at an impressive 5 feet 7 inches. By junior high, he reached an astounding 6 feet 5 inches. Today, at 35 years old, Kevin measures an incredible 6 feet 9 inches tall.
Kevin’s towering stature has made him a curiosity wherever he goes. Embracing his uniqueness, he humorously refers to himself as “5-foot-21” and responds playfully when asked if he plays basketball. Despite the challenges of being larger than average, Kevin navigates life with grace and humor.
A former military man, Kevin now shares his life with his 6-foot-tall wife and their Great Dane. His towering presence has become integral to his identity, and he approaches it with resilience and a light-hearted spirit.
