Paul was a graduate of Union City High School. Paul later went on to achieve his degree in Theology and became an ordained minister. He also achieved many certifications and became a Paramedic, Firefighter, Scuba Diver, Foster Parent, Boy Scout Leader, and Chef.
He started his career as a chef cooking at local restaurants. Anyone who had the opportunity to have one of his famous meals can tell you how extremely talented he was. He loved being in the kitchen. Paul served as firefighter with McKean Hose Company and Union City Fire Dept. where he was a lifetime member. He devoted his career to the Emergency Medical Service, where he served faithfully for 45years. His commitment, integrity, and compassion touched countless lives during their time of crisis. He began his EMS career at Erie Ambulance. Paul then went on to Emergycare where he held many leadership roles including Director of Operations. He was also one of the original flight paramedics for Life Star.
Paul held many titles throughout his career but his favorite was Husband, Dad, and Papa. He found great joy in his children and his grandchildren. Ice cream dates and road trip adventures with his wife. Always a source of love and wisdom for his family. Paul also enjoyed riding his motorcycle. He made many memorable trips but his favorite rides were with the late Bruce Mosher. Paul had a devoted relationship with God and instilled that love into the hearts of his children. He loved music and had a beautiful voice that sang worship to the Lord.
Paul is survived by the love of his life, to whom he built his beautiful family with, Sherrie A. (Shorts) Clark, 46 years of endless memories and love. He is survived by daughters: Cara (Jody) Clark-Babcock, Jaime (Dylan) Weaver, Lindsay (Timothy) Suydan. His sons: Michael (Amy) Clark, Jason Clark (Melissa Carter), Brandon Clark (Makayla Newell).

He is survived by brother Jack (Carolyn) Clark, Sister Jill Balog, several nieces and nephews, his in-laws the Shorts family, and God daughter Ashleigh (Pyle) Smith.
Paul’s strength, humor, leadership, mentorship, dedication, and unwavering love will be deeply missed by all who knew him. He demonstrated such courage over the last 11 months that inspired everyone around him. He showed great strength and determination no matter what he faced and relied heavily upon his faith in God. Paul and his family are eternally thankful for his gift of life and to his donor’s family. They are thankful for the time it gave them with Paul. His donor’s family will always be in their prayers. Paul felt extreme gratitude over the outpouring of love from his friends, EMS and Fire Dept. family, and the Pyle family that supported his family during his long hospital admission. Paul found great peace in knowing so many people will love his family in his absence.
Paul’s final message to his friends is to become saved. To please know that in accepting God as your Lord and Savior that it will grant you eternal life and a chance to reunite with him in paradise.
Paul also wanted to express his love and gratitude to Emergycare for all they have done for his family. Paul’s family would also like to express their gratitude to the staff of Select Specialty and UPMC Presbyterian of Pittsburgh.

God gave me the esteemed pleasure of granting me the greatest mentor so I could continue my EMS career. I just wanted to say Thank You for everything, including after you left MEMS you still mentored me and became a great friend. I know that Cara and the rest of your family miss you the most … But it is only for a short time, then they will see you again beyond the stars … God certainly sent an angel from heaven in human form. You cared for many people and touched many lives .. Rest Easy my friend … Until We Meet Again.
P.S. Say Hello to Jeff Demaison for me

Love You Brother – Jayme
My condolences to Paul’s family. I knew him from when I worked at WICU as a news video Grapher on the overnight shift. Covered many incidents with him and saw him as a dedicated and caring medic. He touched many lives and many people are alive today because of his care. Those of us who knew were lucky to be able to call him a friend.
What a life filled with joy, purpose, and genuine connection. His legacy is a testament to a life well lived—one that touched so many. May we all aspire to leave behind such love and light. Holding you all in my thoughts.

We’ll take from here.
Please accept my deepest sympathies in the loss of your loved one. Death isn’t easy on nobody. I didn’t know Paul as well as many of you. I got to know Paul as he was the field supervisor here for Emergycare im Titusville. I wasn’t a first Responders or a fireman. But I worked with our local loyal order of the Moose as their community service chairman. We have been supporting our local fire departments, Police Department and Ambulance Services and we would host a First Responders Appreciation Night and it was an honor to schedule this event with Paul through Emergycare. We had a good time and it was a pleasure honoring our heros such as Paul.
Paul thank you for all your sacrifices you made everyday to work to help care for those people who were in need of medical care. God bless you Brother and rest in peace
Put simply Paul Clark was a good man who will be greatly missed. Paul was one of the original EmergyCare employees and quickly was promoted to supervisor. I had the privilege of working with him during the first eight years of the company. He took on any assignment readily and with a positive attitude. In my years of working with Paul, I never heard him say a bad thing about anybody or raise his voice – he was always respectful of others no matter who they were.
Paul was a compassionate and caring leader who exemplified integrity and who was an outstanding role model for others. He fought a valiant fight after his double lung transplant and is now finally at peace. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Paul, his family and all those who were touched by his kindness during his time here on Earth.
