Feb. 18, 1952 - Jan. 19, 2015


Timothy McAdams Clark entered the presence of his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Monday, January 19, 2015.

Tim was born on February 18, 1952, in Spokane, Washington.  When Tim was six months old, his parents, Allen and Anne Clark, moved to Edmonds, Washington.  Tim and his older siblings, Sarah [Kenneth Sundin] and Peter [Kathleen Clark] grew up there.  Tim’s brother, David Cleaver Clark, preceded him in death.

Tim married Mary Jansma in 1973, and their love for each other grew deeper and stronger throughout their marriage.  Tim and Mary’s children, Shauna [Lt. Col. Ryan Quaale, USAF], Krista [Dr. Victor Sampson], and Noah [Hilary (Weber)] survive him, as do ten grandchildren:  Ava, Jonah, Samuel, and Lillian Quaale; Kyra, Aidan, and Mikayla Sampson; and Tyson, Grace, and Joshua Clark.  

Tim graduated from Washington State University in Pullman, Washington.  Additionally, he earned the professional designation of Certified Property and Casualty Underwriter (CPCU).  Tim’s career in insurance claims management and collision repair spanned 37 years, including 24 years with Safeco Insurance and, most recently, Fix Auto, USA.  Tim’s business associates were also his friends, which was never more evident than during Tim’s illness with glioblastoma multiforme.

Tim was a member of Vista Community Church in Dublin, Ohio, where he served as an elder.  He and Mary actively participated in their local church, whether living in the Pacific Northwest where they raised their children or here in the Buckeye State.  Tim and Mary are blessed to have precious friends from each church and neighborhood of which they have been a part.

Tim’s legacy is one of hard work, integrity, a huge smile, an engaging and infectious laugh, loyal friendship, loving his wife, children and grandchildren without reservation, and unswervingly trusting in the redemptive plan of his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

A memorial fund for missions has been established at Vista Community Church, 6065 Franz Rd., Suite 205, Dublin, OH 43017.

Visitation will be held on Friday, January 23, from 4 – 7 p.m. at Schoedinger Worthington Chapel and Funeral Home, 6699 N. High Street, Columbus, 43085. A memorial service is scheduled for 10 a.m., on Saturday, January 24, at Dublin Baptist Church, 7195 Coffman Road, Dublin 43017.
