Darrell Lynn Clements Sr. was born on February 1, 1939, in Charlotte, Michigan, the son of Paul and Mildred (Royston) Clements. He peacefully passed away on February 11, 2026, in Lansing, Michigan. A dedicated and multifaceted individual, Darrell made significant contributions to both his profession and community throughout his life.

After graduating from Charlotte High School in 1957, he embarked on a career that showcased his versatility and strong work ethic. Darrell worked diligently as a welder and later served as a timber buyer for Johnson Lumber. However, his impact extended beyond his professional endeavors; he devoted many years to ministering in his community, providing guidance and support to those in need. His commitment to service was a hallmark of his character.

In addition to his work, Darrell was known for his love of visiting family and friends. He cherished his time spent with loved ones, filling his days with laughter and meaningful conversations. His passion for raising draft horses was another pursuit that brought him joy and fulfillment. His faith was the central focus of his life and was evident in all that he did.

Darrell is survived by his wife, Judy; children, Rosa (Ron) Lea, Julia Clements, Darrell (Joanne) Clements Jr., Lola Cook, John (Erin) Clements, Victoria Sanders; 26 grandchildren; numerous great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandchild; sister, Karen (Rick) Rickerd; sister-in-law, Donna Clements; and numerous nieces, nephews, and friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents; first wife, Marlyn Jean; second wife, Sue Landon; sister, Wilma; brother, Harold Clements.

Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, February 18, 2026, at 1 P.M. at the Burkhead-Green-Kilgo Funeral Home with Pastor Jeff Davis officiating. The family will receive friends on Wednesday from 11 A.M. to 1 P.M. at the funeral home just prior to the service. Burial will follow at Maple Hill Cemetery.
