April 3, 2025 - 88th Year

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of John Clements, who peacefully passed away on April 3, 2025, at Spencer House in Orillia, Ontario in his 88th year. His family is deeply grateful or the compassionate care he received in his final days.

John was born in Cookstown, Northern Ireland, to Hugh and Elizabeth Clements. In 1956, at the age of 18, he made the journey to Canada to begin a new chapter in his life. Throughout his years, he was dedicated to his work and became a respected figure in the community, working with the Bank of Montreal and later with Realstar Property Management. John was also an avid amateur boxer and a passionate lover of sports, particularly the Miami Dolphins and Arsenal Football Club. His love for animals was also a hallmark of his character, as he cherished all creatures.

He was predeceased by his beloved wife Gloria, son Mike, and granddaughter Kellie. He is survived by his daughters Cathy and Jane, and his grandchildren Erin, Caitlin, Michael (Shanya), Cameron, Quinn, Megan, and Connor. He was also the proud great-grandfather of Talia and Jackson. John leaves behind his cherished brother, Maurice (Joyce), as well as his sister-in-law, Ann (Tony), and his late brother-in-law Ted (Cathy). John was also a beloved uncle to many nieces and nephews.

A private service will be held with close family to honor John's memory.

In his own words, John’s mantra was simple yet powerful: "No Surrender." This will remain a lasting testament to his strength, resilience, and indomitable spirit. Arrangements entrusted to the Mundell Funeral Home, Orillia.
