*Robert Clemens Jr.** 

*January 16, 1954 – November 7, 2024*


It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Robert Clemens Jr., who left us peacefully on November 7, 2024, at the age of 70. Bob was born on January 16, 1954, in Pennsylvania to Robert Sr. and Ann Clemens, both of whom preceded him in death. He was the second of five children, and is survived by his siblings Sharon (David), Dan (Patricia), Jodi, and Robyn (Dave). 


Bob’s life was defined by his dedication and work ethic, which began at the age of 14 and carried him through a fulfilling career. He retired from LKQ at the age of 63. A lifelong Ohio State Buckeyes and Cleveland Browns fan, Bob found joy in the simple pleasures of life, with a deep love for his home, which he worked tirelessly to build and maintain.


Bob was married to his high school sweetheart, Becky Clemens, for 45 years. Together, they raised their son, Trey (Nichole). He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Becky, and he often spoke fondly of looking forward to being reunited with her, as well as with their cherished pets, Puma and Aspen.


Bob passed away peacefully in the comfort of his son’s home, surrounded by love. The family would like to express their deepest gratitude to the nurses at Mount Carmel Hospice, Sara and Denise, whose compassionate care brought comfort to Bob and his family during his final days. 


Though Bob’s presence will be deeply missed, his legacy of humility, hard work, and love will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
