Jim "J.D." Clark, 79, of Benton City, Washington, passed away on August 2, 2025.
Born in Yakima to Don and Dorothy Clark, Jim proudly served his country in the United States Marine Corps from 1965 to 1969 during the Vietnam War. In 1969, he married the love of his life, Georgia, and together they built a life rooted in love, hard work, and family.
Jim worked for many years as a Rock Crushing Boss at Acme Concrete in Richland. Outside of work, he found joy in the outdoors-hunting, fishing, and camping-and could often be found enjoying a good game of Texas Hold'em. He was also a proud member of the Richland Moose Lodge.
Jim is survived by his beloved wife Georgia, his son Todd "Jake" Clark, and granddaughter Jenna Clark. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
