Stephen Kent Clark passed away on July 13, 2024, spending his last days surrounded by family. Preceded in death by his parents, Una Loy and Dr. Barney B. Clark, and brother, Gary Clark. Stephen is survived by his loving wife, Theresa (Ebert), his children: Jennifer (Brent), Jeffrey (Laura), Julie (Mike), Douglas (Ashley), and Richard (Emily), 16 grandchildren, and sister Karen (Tim).
Stephen was an accomplished ear, nose, and throat surgeon who specialized in cancer removal. He helped countless patients in the Greater Seattle area throughout his 35 years in private practice. He also made time to volunteer in church, serving a full-time 2-year mission in the Western United States, serving in the bishopric of his home ward, and serving as a Gospel Doctrine teacher for 9 years.
His great loves in life included family, boating, golfing, hi-fi music, Diet Coke, and Husky Football. He also had an unrelenting penchant for mediocre Tex-Mex. His giving nature, and the unassuming humility he possessed in his later years afforded him many friends, despite his preference to spend all available time with his wife, Terry. They were inseparable in life, and their love will always serve as an example to his children. Stephen was a dear husband, father, brother, doctor, and friend. He will be greatly missed. We love you, Dad. See you on the other side.
Funeral services will be held on Saturday, July 27, 2024 at 12:00 PM at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, 4200 124th Ave SE, Bellevue, WA. A visitation will be held at 11:00 AM.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to the American Heart Association or your favorite charity.

Dr. Clark treated myself and my kids. I often tell this story about Dr. Clark.
I had my thyroid removed by him in 1984. He cautioned me that I would have "a small bandage" on my neck following surgery. Well, my entire neck was wrapped up! Fast forward a few years. My four year old needed a tympanoplasty. He told us that she´d have "a small bandage" on her ear. She come out of surgery looking like she had an ear muff on her left ear, plus bandages wrapped around her head! In a folllow up visit I finally told him that I wanted to see the BIG bandage. He was soooooo nice. Dr. Clark had an unfailingly calm manner about him, and genuine compassion. I will pray for his eternal peace in our Father´s kingdom.
