BARTONVILLE - Scott E. McClelland, 54, of Bartonville, Ill., passed away peacefully Thursday, July 26, 2012, at 3:15 a.m. at his home.
He was born July 20, 1958, in Decatur, Ill., the son of Charles Edward and Janet (Turner) McClelland. Scott married Jill Slater Aug. 30, 2008, at Reed City Park in Mapleton. He was her superman.

Scott was passionate about riding his Harley and his work. "Scotty the chiller man" was a valued friend, co-worker and commercial HVAC technician of Hunzeker Service Agency Inc. for over 33 years.
Cremation rites have been accorded. The Rev. Linda Foreman of Unity Church (who joined Scott and Jill together in Matrimony) will be presenting the celebration of life services from 2 to 3 p.m. Friday, Aug. 3, at Endsley-Sedgwick Funeral Home in Bartonville, Ill. Following the services, the burial of ashes will be in St. Mary's Cemetery on Sterling Ave. in Peoria.

First of all i want to tell the entire family how sorry I am to hear about Scott. What a wonderful human being. Its been decades since I've seen him but he was one of those people you cannot forget. I can still see him driving up to our house on his Harley to go to the TT races in Peoria. Its so hard for a parent especially to lose a child, a wife to lose their husband, a child to lose their daddie and grandkids......at such a young age. Wish i could be there to celebrate his life with yall. Hugs

I dont know why it's just so hard to believe that Scott McClelland was here with us and now gone to be with the Lord. It just didn't seem like we spent enough time together or shared enough laughs together . But Who am I to make that call , GOD was ready for him to come home , so He was taken ... as Much as it don't seem right , It is because GOD don't make mistakes. I just wish I could'a said Bye Have a Nice Journey, We will meet again one day , but intill then You will always have a place in my heart , your presense might not be but you will Never Be forgotten.... I don't wanna sit around and wish because I know You wouldn't want that , so I will try and hold this Smile and cherish every moment like its my last ..........and the few Memories we did share Will never be forgotten .....I love You today tommrow & Forever ... Your Niece inlaw... Katie
