Steven McClellan Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Beacon Cremation & Funeral Service - King-Hart Chapel on Feb. 3, 2026.
Steven "Steve" Edward McClellan, 57, passed away unexpectedly February 1, 2026. He was born July 18, 1968, in Hart, the son of Daniel McClellan Sr. and Nancy Anderson.

Steve deeply loved his family and found great joy in the time he spent with them. He was known for his uncanny sense of humor, often making it feel as though every day was April Fool's Day, and he never missed an opportunity to make others laugh.

An avid outdoorsman, Steve enjoyed hunting and fishing whenever he was physically able, finding peace and purpose in the outdoors. His dog, Bear, was his constant companion and loyal sidekick, rarely leaving his side and sticking to him like Velcro.

Steve had a lifelong appreciation for old westerns, especially John Wayne movies and shows, and he was an avid reader of novels by Louis L'Amour.

Gifted with natural ingenuity, Steve always found a way to make things work, approaching every situation with resilience and a determination to make the best of it.

Steve is survived by: his wife of 25 years, Norma J. McClellan; son, Steven McClellan Jr.; daughter, Kayelee (Nate) Halvorsen; 6 grandchildren; mother, Nancy Anderson; step-mother, Ruby McClellan; brothers, Daniel McClellan Jr, Allen Scott (Christa) McClellan, John (Karen) Anderson, Ken Anderson, Bob (Vicky) McClellan; sisters, Nancy (Ken) Johnson, Renee Dennert, and Traci (Terry) Ross; many nieces, nephews, cousins and extended family members.

Steve was preceded in death by: his father, Daniel McClellan Sr; sister, Rebecca McClellan; step-brother, Ron Boeskool; brother-in-law, Tim Dennert; step-father, Bruce Anderson; and both maternal and paternal grandparents.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made directly to the family of funeral home to assist with expenses.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 11:00 AM, February 6, 2026, at Beacon Cremation & Funeral Service, King Hart Chapel, 2370 N 72nd Ave Hart MI 49420.
