Christopher "Chris" Clear, a beacon of love and generosity, passed away on August 20, 2025, at the age of 53. Born on August 16, 1972, in Cheboygan, Michigan, Chris was a man whose presence was a source of joy and comfort to all who knew him. His departure has left an indelible mark on the hearts of his family, friends, and all the lives he touched.

Chris was always placing others before himself. His kind-hearted nature was evident in every aspect of his life, from his personal relationships to his casual interactions with strangers.

He is survived by his beloved fiancé, Randy McGlaun, who stood by him as a partner and best friend. Together, they shared a life rich in love, laughter, and adventure. Chris's spirit of exploration led them to discover new places, creating memories that Randy will cherish forever.

Chris found joy and relaxation in playing games on his iPad. His competitive yet playful nature made him a favorite among his gaming friends and family. Chris's interests, however, extended far beyond the screen. He had an insatiable appetite for travel and sought every opportunity to explore new destinations. His adventurous spirit was contagious, and he often inspired others to step out of their comfort zones and experience the world.

Chris's legacy is one of love, thoughtfulness, and generosity. He was a man who listened more than he spoke, and when he did speak, his words were filled with wisdom and kindness. His actions, often done quietly and without expectation of recognition, spoke volumes of his character. He was the first to offer help to anyone in need, whether it was a friend, a family member, or a complete stranger.

The words that best describe Chris are indeed loving, thoughtful, and generous. He approached life with an open heart and believed in the goodness of people. His ability to see the best in others and to give of himself without hesitation made him a cherished soul whose impact will continue to be felt.

As we say goodbye to Christopher Clear, we celebrate a life lived with purpose and passion. He was a shining example of how to love unconditionally, give selflessly, and live authentically. Though he has left this world, the light of his spirit will forever guide those who were fortunate enough to know him.

Chris's life was a testament to the power of kindness and the beauty of a generous heart. He will be deeply missed, but his legacy will live on in the countless lives he touched. We take solace in knowing that his journey continues in a place of peace and that his love will always surround us.
