He served in the Senate until his death in 2004 from a car crash.[2] After his death, the legislature created a program called the "Senator Stan Clark pregnancy maintenance initiative program, the purpose for which is to award grants to not-for-profit organizations for programs that provide services for women which enable them to carry their pregnancies to term."[3]
