Ahmyli J. entered this world on June 25, 2004 at St. Mary's Hospital in Pierre, South Dakota to Jay Clark and Stephanie Lofton. She joined her big brother, True Justyce, and instantly had everyone wrapped around her tiny finger. Before she was a year old Ahmyli was baptized at St. John's Episcopal Church where she gained Wakiyan Peta and Denise Lightning Fire and Tim Sampson and Melody Beierle as god parents. Soon enough Ahmyli was joined by her brothers Baby Jay and Keenan Isaiah. At the age of six Ahmyli and Jolee Two Dogs-Clark became mother and daughter. Their connection was instant and remains strong still. With this union, Ahmyli gained a sister, Angel Camby, and brothers, Miles Avery and Judson Rhee-Dannen. Later Ahmyli gained nephews, Cassian, Mason and Mateo, and two beautiful nieces, Aryanna Jayde who lives in California with her mother Deanne DiPalma and Mila Jay whom she was close with and watched over and cared for and in turn Mila adored her auntie Ahmyli, except when they fought over daddy. Ahmyli was raised alongside her many, many cousins, and nieces and nephews that she considered many of them as her own siblings. Her uncles, Casey and Reilly, and Aunt Lenora loved her and looked out for her as though she were their own.
Ahmyli was involved in many activities such as Sparkling Stars, C-EB Spirit Squad, and Lakota Club as an elementary student. She also loved to dance fancy shawl and had beautiful outfits made by her mother Jolee. When she got older Ahmyli became more involved with sports and played basketball and volleyball, as well as ran cross country. She excelled in her academic endeavors and could always be found in a comfy chair with a book. In high school Ahmyli was involved with Teens Against Tobacco Use (T.A.T.U.) at which time she heavily believed was a vice that her loved ones could do without and this was a way for her to advocate against it. At one point she felt so guilty she told her dad she felt like she couldn't be a part of it because he was a tobacco user.
Ahmyli had a work ethic unlike any other and it showed by the love that her employers and co-workers have for her. At the time of her passing, she worked at Missouri Breaks as a Research Assistant and at Ampride as a cashier and sometimes in the deli. It was in these workspaces that Ahmyli forged friendships with both coworkers and the public. Ahmyli was ecstatic when her baby brother, Keenan, began working alongside her at Ampride because she could look out for him and guide him while he learned the trade. Ahmyli attended BSC through online courses during the pandemic which she enjoyed because she loved new challenges. She was also making plans to continue her education and eventually enroll in a nursing school this coming fall. Ahmyli was looking forward to taking care of her mom and dad when they got older and she would get upset with her dad when he said to just put him in a nursing home. They would always argue about who loved who more and whose heart was the biggest. Ahmyli was the only one who could keep her dad in line, and she knew this from the day she graced us earth side with her presence. She changed her dad's life by teaching him love, compassion, forgiveness and most important gentleness.
Ahmyli absolutely loved her fur babies Bean and Noir and especially the family fur babies Baby, Kane, Apollo and Shogun. She loved being with family, especially during gatherings and spending time with her friends making memories. Ahmyli loved her music especially her K-pop Concerts which she attended in both Chicago and Minneapolis. She had just made a vehicle purchase and was beginning to add her own personal touches to it and she was extremely proud because she did it on her own. Ahmyli was frugal and you wouldn't find her hanging out at the mall, instead you could guarantee that she would be thrifting with her mom, sister, brother and niece Mila Jay while Dad waited impatiently in the car. Although she did enjoy the girls' day trips that she would take with her mom and sisters and whoever else got to join in on the fun. The trips with just her and her dad were the best because she knew she was going to be spoiled. She was mostly just happy to spend that time with Dad because they meant the world to one another.
Ahmyli's involvement and loving support at Inipi and Sundances with Mom and Dad will go unmatched. Through these ceremonies Ahmyli gained family such as Uncle Hans and Lala Rick and many, many others.
Ahmyli was good natured, respectful, kind, thoughtful, and considerate to everyone who had the privilege of encountering her. She always had an encouraging word or a compliment on hand to share with you and would gladly help those that needed it. Ahmyli loved big, with her whole heart and the world is at a loss without her in it. Our Family is devastated that there is not enough space on this page to share her many accomplishments and stories of the amazing life she lived in her almost 21 years on this earth.
Ahmyli leaves behind her parents Jay and Jolee Clark, and Stephanie Lofton; brothers: True Justyce, Keenan Isaiah, Judson Rhee-Dannen, and Cory Robert; sister, Angel Camby; paternal grandparents, Calvin Clark Sr. and Benita Cook-Clark; maternal grandparents, Cecil Curley Jr. and Rose (Ina) Curley.
