Always, Always the Good Guys...
Dr. Clark was one of the coolest teachers I've ever gotten to know. Always had time for his students, always had time to swap a bullshit story, loved music, flying, family, and life in general, smart as hell... he will be missed. I certainly wish I'd gotten to take him out for a beer after the semester had ended.
VERMILLION, S.D. -- University of South Dakota associate professor Timothy Clark died Monday when he was pinned underneath his car east of Hartington, Neb., officials said.
A memorial service is scheduled for 2 p.m. Thursday at the Hillside Community Church, 1800 Constance Drive, Vermillion, S.D.
According to a Cedar County Sheriff's Office statement, Clark was fatally injured about 7:30 a.m. when the jack holding up his car slipped, pinning him underneath. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The accident happened about a half mile north of the junction of Highway 15 and Highway 84, where Clark had removed a tire in order to clear debris from underneath his car, the statement said.
University spokesman Phillip Carter said Clark, of Vermillion, S.D., was an associate professor of developmental biology in the division of basic biomedical sciences at the university's Sanford School of Medicine. He earned a doctorate degree in molecular biology from Montana State University.
Although much of the Sanford School of Medicine is at the university's Sioux Falls campus, Clark was based out of Vermillion.
His wife, Melanee Clark, is the director of animal research at USD's laboratory animal services department. They have three children.
