Most parents expect a mix of joy, nerves, and excitement when welcoming a baby, but some births astonish even experienced medical staff. Such was the case in 1983, when Patricia Clarke delivered her second child, Kevin Robert Clark. Patricia came from a family known for large babies and sensed her newborn would be big, but nothing prepared her for what happened in the delivery room at Community Memorial Hospital.
When Kevin was born, the staff fell silent. He weighed over 15 pounds, nearly twice the size of an average newborn. Nurses checked the scale repeatedly, stunned by the number. Despite his extraordinary size, Kevin was perfectly healthy—breathing well, calm, and strong. His size, however, created immediate challenges: hospital cribs were too small, newborn diapers didn’t fit, and his clothes were outgrown instantly.
News of the record-breaking baby spread quickly, turning Kevin into a local celebrity who soon appeared on national TV programs. His remarkable growth continued through childhood, making his story unforgettable.
