VERONA - Karey L. Clark, age 38, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, January 9, 2015.

He graduated from Monroe High School in 1994 and went on to graduate from the University of Wisconsin-Platteville with a degree in Criminal Justice.

Karey joined the Oregon Police Department in 2001 moving up through the ranks from Detective, to Detective Sgt., and finally to Lieutenant.
