Aaron Clark-- EMT, Father, Husband, and Friend

Aaron Clark tragically and unexpectedly passed away on 9/5/25.

Our first responder community is devastated by this loss. He was an incredible EMT for Syringa Hospital Ambulance, dedicated member of the Extrication Crew, and a long time member of Grangeville Mountain Rescue Unit. He overcame many obstacles to achieve his dream of being an EMT and watching him work through that process was inspiring. Aaron had many successes. He lived to help others. He was a person other people could count on, and he showed up on others worst days, always willing to help, no matter the personal cost. Aaron jumped into being a first responder with his whole heart. His patients and crew loved him and the knowledge and kindness he brought to emergencies brought a sense of hope to even the worst situations.

As much as Aaron was an amazing EMT, he was first and foremost a family guy. He loved his family fiercely and everyone knew that. Please join us in supporting his wife and children in their time of need.

Aaron William Clark passed away September 5, 2025 in Grangeville, Idaho. He was born July 21, 1976 to Jay and Donna Clark in Clarkston, Washington. Aaron graduated from high school in Caldwell, Idaho 1995.

He married Sherie Paul on August 13, 2005. Together they raised three children, Tyler Ledet, Dalen and Kaleigh Clark. They also raised a nephew Jordan Clark for several years.

Aaron was a fun loving, adventurous, all-around nice guy. He loved being outdoors and you could find him riding his motorcycle, ATV, fishing, camping or playing corn hole with his old aunties. He also shared his love of music to whomever would listen. When he had down time you could find him watching scary bad movies with his dog, Titan, on his lap.

In his life, Aaron had many struggles with addictions. He fought hard to overcome them and had been sober for many years. He shared his sobriety journey with others in hopes of helping them with their addictions.

Most of his working life was spent driving long haul trucks and working at the mill. He found his true passion when he became involved in the Grangeville Mountain Rescue Unit and extrication crew. He then decided to become an EMT and worked hard to achieve that dream. He was very proud of his accomplishment and the EMT community became like family.

Aaron is survived by his wife Sherie. Children Tyler (Brooklyn), along with newborn granddaughter Bentyn, Dalen (Lily) and Kaleigh. His mother Donna, sister Andrea and brother Jason. Numerous nieces and nephews and all of us who loved him so. He was preceded in death by his father Jay.
