The lasting impact that Kimball had on the lives of his family, children, parents, siblings, nieces, nephews, friends, co-workers and students will never be forgotten. Kimball was an immediate friend to everyone he met. His positivity for life was contagious. He greeted everyone with a smile and there was never a shortage of funny, crazy stories when he was around. He was the life of every party and brought laughter wherever he went! Kimball was also thoughtful and sincere. He loved getting to know others and about their lives. His love for the Savior and the gospel of Jesus Christ ran deep. This showed through his even simple interactions with others and through the service he gave in and out of church throughout his whole life. He loved teaching high school math at Odyssey Prepatory Academy, Seminary, and served for the last few years as a Chaplin/priesthood minister at the local prison. Kimball wanted to not just teach, but change and inspire lives for the better.
Above everything else, his dedication to and love for his wife and children was most important to him.
Kimball leaves behind his sweet wife, Tiffin and four wonderful children. Due to this unexpected tragedy and the high cost of funeral arrangements any donation would be truly appreciated.”
The Odyssey Preparatory Academy Family of Schools and the community extend their heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of Kimball Clark. His memory will forever live on in the hearts of those he inspired and mentored, and his legacy will continue to shine brightly within the Odyssey Institute family.
