Weighing an astonishing 16 pounds at birth, Kevin became the largest baby ever born at Community Memorial Hospital and possibly in the entire state at the time. Doctors were amazed at his size, but even more so at his perfect health. Overnight, baby Kevin became a local celebrity, with appearances on national programs such as\u00a0<em data-start=\"728\" data-end=\"749\">Saturday Night Live<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em data-start=\"754\" data-end=\"777\">Good Morning America.<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"781\" data-end=\"1292\">As the years passed, Kevin continued to grow both in height and in humor. By age 12, he already stood 5\u20197\u2033, towering over most of his classmates. By junior high, he had reached an impressive 6\u20195\u2033 \u2014 and he wasn\u2019t done yet. His easygoing nature and self-awareness made him instantly likable. \u201cI like to joke that I\u2019m 5-foot-21,\u201d Kevin once said. \u201cWhen people ask if I play basketball, I ask if they play miniature golf.\u201d His lighthearted approach to constant curiosity about his height became part of his charm.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1294\" data-end=\"1692\">Today, at 40 years old, Kevin stands 6\u20199\u2033 and still draws attention wherever he goes. A former soldier, he\u2019s built a grounded life alongside his 6-foot-tall wife and their Great Dane \u2014 a family that fits his larger-than-life personality perfectly. Though he\u2019s been in the public eye since birth, Kevin remains down-to-earth, carrying the same humor and humility that once endeared him to so many.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1694\" data-end=\"2050\">Every day, he admits, someone asks about his height, but it no longer surprises him. To Kevin, it\u2019s simply part of who he is \u2014 a reminder of the extraordinary story that began the day he was born. From record-breaking baby to towering adult, Kevin Robert Clark\u2019s journey proves that even the most unusual beginnings can lead to a fulfilling, joyful life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 1983, Patricia Clarke of New Jersey welcomed her son, Kevin Robert Clark, into the world \u2014 and into the headlines.
