Clark Lynn Jordan

Clark Lynn Jordan, 68, of Salmon, Idaho, passed away peacefully on the banks of the Salmon River-the place he loved most-on August 17, 2025.
Born March 14, 1957, in Pocatello Idaho, Clark was the son of Phillip Alfred and Ella Jean Pollard Jordan and brother of Mark Jordan, all of whom preceded him in death.
In 1982, Clark married the love of his life, Sandra Ann Rau. For 43 years they shared a deep and inseparable partnership, filled with laughter, adventure, and devotion. Their marriage was a true partnership-Sandy was not only Clark's wife but his fiercest advocate, his companion in every challenge, and the person with whom he shared his deepest dreams. Those who knew them rarely thought of one without the other.
Clark graduated from high school in Omaha, earned a degree in political science from Idaho State University, and received his Juris Doctor from Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington. After passing the Idaho Bar in 1987, he practiced law for nearly three decades in Idaho Falls, Hailey, and Salmon, specializing in workers' compensation and personal injury. Known as a fighter for "the little guy," Clark stood up for injured workers against powerful firms, often at personal cost. His compassion and dedication left lasting impacts-clients remembered him not just as their attorney, but as the man who changed their lives.
Clark retired in 2021, but his love of people and zest for life continued. He was fun-loving, loyal, and passionate about sports-especially the Utah Jazz. His greatest joy came from the outdoors. He built a log home along the Lemhi River in Tendoy, where he found peace surrounded by the water and mountains he cherished. Clark lived fully and on his own terms. He leaves behind a legacy of integrity, love, and laughter.
Clark is survived by his wife, Sandra Rau Jordan of Salmon; his Aunt Yvonne Jordan and her son Michael of Portland, Oregon; Shirley Rau and Greg Contos of Boise; nephew Niko Contos, wife Kate Coll, and daughter Lili of Reno; Chris O'Connor and daughter Piper Cabaltera, husband Meir, and daughter Violet of Boise; Stan and Kim Rau of Horsehoe Bend and their children Skylar, Dalton, Tanner and Kiki; and his father-in-law Harold Rau.
The family is planning a private service at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Clark's name to a favorite charity.
