He was born in Fort Duchesne, UT on Apr. 20, 1943 to Theron Tain and Nellie Darlene Spencer Clark. He married Vera Leora Erickson on Aug. 17, 1968 in the Manti Utah Temple.

He then lived in various locations in Carbon County until he was married. He lived in Payson and Springville for four years before returning to Carbon County for the remainder of his life.
He worked in various construction, ranching and mining jobs. He was never too busy to help anyone in need. He also served in the National Guard.

Chub was very dedicated to his wife, children, and grandchildren. He always attended sporting events, rodeos, and school events. He loved family vacations, camping, fishing at Willow Lake, four-wheeling, going for rides, and riding his Harley.
