Thomas McLean Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Gramer Funeral Home - Clawson on Dec. 30, 2025.
Thomas (Tom) John McLean (May 25, 1963 – December 17, 2025) age 62 of Flushing, Michigan sadly passed away suddenly and unexpectedly.
Since moving to Flushing, Tom worked at Hart Medical delivering medical equipment to seniors.
Tom had been a long-time resident of Madison Heights, and Clawson, MI where he attended Clawson High School, class of 1982.
Tom lived a life dedicated to helping his family anywhere, anytime as a master handyman; taking on any task in exchange for great conversation and a cold glass of Coca Cola with ice.
A true motorcycle enthusiast, Tom loved riding and working on his motorcycles, finding both freedom and satisfaction on the open road and in the garage with tools in hand.
Tom enjoyed the company of his sidekick and beloved dog, the late Jake, often seen riding shotgun on Tom's road trips for work.
Tom was the cherished son of the late Jack and Helen (Roe) McLean of Clawson, Michigan.
Tom was the loving brother of Nancy (McLean) Lecznar and Carol McLean; and "the cool uncle" to Chris and Jaclyn Lecznar, with many cousins in the Upper Peninsula.
A Memorial is planned at Gramer Funeral Home, 705 N. Main St., Clawson, MI 48017 on Friday, January 16, 2026, from 5:00 to 8:00 pm.
