Clinton Dewey Park of Omak, WA

With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Clinton “Clint” Dewey Park, 71, who passed away suddenly from heart failure at his home in Wenatchee, WA, on October 1, 2025. He was a loving father, grandfather, brother, companion, and friend.

Clint was born August 13, 1954, in Ephrata, WA, alongside his twin brother Clayton, to Jack and Lillian Park. He spent his youth in Ephrata and graduated from Ephrata High School in 1972, where he enjoyed wrestling and basketball.

In 1976, Clint married Pamela (Ryan). They lived in several towns, including Spokane, Soap Lake, Okanogan, and Ellensburg, before settling in Omak in 1979, where they raised their two children, Lindsay and Jared. After their separation, Clint’s insurance career led him to Chelan and later Wenatchee. In his later years, he shared many wonderful adventures with his companion, Irene Jordan.

A hardworking man throughout his life, Clint began working at the age of 10 and held a diverse range of jobs, including crop irrigation, driving agricultural equipment, building a chemical sprayer, managing theaters, stores, and fast-food restaurants. He was also a department store manager, a men’s clothing store manager, a skilled seamster, a small business owner, and, later, a dedicated insurance agent and broker, retiring in December 2022. For many years, he worked alongside his father in the family business, Western Collectors, helping promote and set up at gun shows across central Washington.

While living in Omak, Clint was an active member of the Omak Elks Lodge, where he made lifelong friends. He also participated in the Pony Express for one year and volunteered at the Omak Stampede and the World-Famous Suicide Race. A talented artist, Clint designed the well- known City of Omak logo, which creatively incorporates a cowboy hat, a feathered headband, a teepee, and a cowboy boot within its letters.

Known for his humor, integrity, and easygoing nature, Clint was deeply respected by coworkers and clients alike. He had a gift for connecting with people and was always ready to lend a hand or share a laugh. His quick wit and sarcasm brought joy to those around him, traits that his children and grandchildren proudly carry on.

Clint was preceded in death by his parents, Jack and Lillian Park. He is survived by his daughter Lindsay Park and grandson Kameron Elfrink of Spokane Valley; his son Jared (Hillary) Park, granddaughter Ryann, and grandson Jack of Omak; his partner Irene Jordan of Okanogan; his twin brother Clayton Park and sister Debbie (Dan) Harper of Ephrata; brother Evan Park (Alicia) of San Diego; half-brother Chuck Soule (Dawn) of Cashmere; and many nieces, nephews, and great-nieces and nephews across several states.

A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, November 15, at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Omak, followed by a reception at the Okanogan Eagles Lodge. His cremains will be laid to rest at the City of Ephrata Cemetery at a later date.
