Harold Edwin "Bubby" Clem

Harold Edwin Clem, affectionately known as Bubby to his friends and family, passed away peacefully on December 20, 2025, at the age of 76, in his hometown of Evansville, IN. Born on July 15, 1949, to the late Charles and Nora Katherine Clem, Harold's life was one marked by joy, music, and an unwavering commitment to his loved ones and community.

Harold's journey through life was shared with his devoted wife of 15 years, Sherry Clem, who stood by him as a partner in both love and adventure. Together, they reveled in the simple pleasures of life, from singing karaoke to playing card games and rolling dice. Harold's passion for the open road was evident in his love for riding his Harley Davidson, never missing an opportunity to support the veterans he held so dear in his heart.

A man of the outdoors, Harold found solace and happiness in nature. His generous spirit was as boundless as the landscapes he loved, and he was always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. His presence was a source of strength and comfort to his family, including his brother, Bobby Payne and wife Kathy, his children, Michelle Dill-Clem, Brandon Clem, and Christopher Clem, as well as his cherished seven grandchildren and three step-grandchildren. He also leaves behind his nephew Robert Payne and Nicholas Payne and Tiffany Bybee. Harold's memory will also be treasured by his late brothers, Genie Clem and Smitty Smith, his deceased son, Kip Clem, and his beloved grandchild, Phillip, who all preceded him in passing.

Harold's life was a tapestry of meaningful relationships and shared experiences. He was a beacon of light and laughter in the lives of his family and friends, and his absence will be deeply felt by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. His legacy will live on in the stories told around the tables where he once played, in the wind that whispers through the trees he cherished, and in the hearts of the countless individuals he touched with his kindness and warmth. He was such a funny man and always made everyone laugh from his wit. Everyone would always joke with him that he just wasn't right.

As we bid farewell to Harold Edwin Clem, we celebrate a life well-lived-a life filled with song, camaraderie, and an enduring love for the journey. His spirit will continue to ride on, guiding us with the memories of the joy and love he shared so freely. Harold's life story is not one of sorrow, but a beautiful reminder of the impact one person can have on the world around them. He will be missed, but his song will echo in our hearts forever.

Visitation will be Friday, December 26th from 10am to 11am with service at 11am at Sunset Funeral Home.
