Life story

" Michael E. Clem, age 66, passed away unexpectedly, leaving behind a family and friends who loved him deeply. His memory will be forever carried by his loving family, including his mother, Luella Clem Obbink; his aunt, Sabra Smith; his sister, LuAnn Clem; and his honorary brother, Mark Frye; his son, Michael E. Clem II, and daughter-in-law, Traquella Clem, along with their children, Lexi, Akilah, and Onyx; nieces Nitosha Silvey and Autumn Cox; nephew Ryan Cox. Proceeded in death by his father Charles Clem and his sister Deborah Clem.

He lived life entirely on his own terms, carrying a wild, untamed spirit that could never be fenced in. He found his truest peace in the high places, guided by a lifelong love of the mountains and a deep kinship with wolves. An adventurous soul and a cherished son, he shared an unbreakable bond with his faithful horse, Harley, riding countless miles together always getting into something together. His laughter, courage, and free heart will live on forever in the memories of all who knew him, and we take comfort in knowing he is now riding the high ridges where the wind blows free. "
