Aiden Clark Obituary
Aiden James Clark, of Springfield, was tragically taken from us on August 22, 2023. Our son was a truly unique, caring, and inquisitive soul and was one of the most awesome and exceptional 11-year-olds in existence. He was born on February 8, 2012, in Springfield to his loving parents, Nathan and Danielle (Baumgardner) Clark. His love of sports was unparalleled, his desire to gain knowledge never stopped, and his weird interests were inspiring and never-ending. From his daily vegetable gardening with his dad, trampoline jumping with his big sister, creating Minecraft worlds with his big bro, and always snuggling with mom. Aiden loved playing old-school board games, doing word searches by flashlight in bed, playing outdoor sports inside, chasing his dog, Daisy Mae, and snuggling with anyone.
Aiden is loved and survived by his parents, siblings: Preston and Madelynn; bonus siblings: Emily and Gabe; grandparents: Jim and Karen Baumgardner and Cindy Clark: uncles: Derek Baumgardner (Summer Wells) and Josh and aunt Delona Clark; as well as cousins: Mackenzie, Adrianna, and Jaxson Baumgardner, and Charlie and Judah Clark; plus many bonus cousins, relatives, friends, classmates, and a loving community that has come together in this time of our tragic loss. Taken before his time, Aiden will forever be in our thoughts and hearts.
Although memories can fade, the time spent with family is essential because happiness is made from those memories.
A gathering of family and friends will be held on Sunday from 2-4 pm and 5-8 pm in Fellowship Church 2301 Valley Loop Rd., Springfield. Services will begin at 11:00 a.m. on Monday in the church with a community meal following.

Just found out about your incredible son Aiden. His personality was bigger than this Earth. He was a tad too fragile for this particular plane. His purpose is far above anything political.
He touches even strangers.

Your love for Aiden is shown in your words and actions. Thank you for your thoughtful words in this troubled time. I think we would all do better if we were more like the kind, considerate boy that Aiden seems to have been. He will live on through you and your memories - and he will never be forgotten. Now he lives on in many more peoples thoughts and prayers. I will not forget him, he makes me strive to be a better person.
