Jeffrey L. Clark was born April 14, 1957, in Quinn, South Dakota, the oldest of three children born to William J. and Kathryn (Sieler) Clark. He grew up in Peno Basin and attended the Rickards School and Big White School before attending Wall High School, graduating in 1975. He then attended South Dakota State University graduating with a Bachelors Degree majoring in Mechanized Agriculture in 1982.
He was united in marriage to Jill Kjerstad on May 22, 1982, in Wall. They made their home in the Wall area where Jeff worked on the farm-ranch, and were blessed with two daughters Abbie and Laney.
Shortly after his father’s death in 1992, Jeff began working for the City of Wall as the Public Works Director.
Jeff was united in marriage to Anne Jo Holsether on May 27th, 1994, at the First Lutheran Church in Wall, and to this union they were blessed with a son Tyrel.

Jeff was a life-long member of the First Lutheran Church; the Wall Volunteer Fire Department, and the East Pennington Soil Conservation District.
