Biographical Comments
Clarke joined the team at SCCAD in November 2022, working on the District’s Surge Division and later B-Platoon. He was known for his affable nature and brought a positive energy to the station for every shift. Earlier this year, Clarke and two colleagues were recognized by a patient and the SCCAD Board of Directors for their lifesaving efforts at the scene of the gentleman’s January 5 cardiac arrest.
“Michael embodied each of our values, but perhaps none more so than Compassion – his kindness put patients at ease and earned him respect among colleagues and community health partners. This loss is profound, and we appreciate the support of our community during this difficult time,” said SCCAD Chief Kelly Cope.
Like many members of our team, Clarke completed his Emergency Medical Technician [EMT] and Paramedic coursework here at SCCAD.
