Michael Dare Clements, age 69, passed away on May 8, 2025, in Eminence, Missouri. He was born on October 12, 1955, in Richmond Heights, Missouri, to William Dare and Virginia Dare (Mallory) Clements. Mike married Mary Jane Calton on July 22, 1978, in St. Louis, Missouri.

He was preceded in death by his father, William Clements, and sister, Sally Egan.

Survivors include his wife, Mary Clements of Eminence, MO; three sons, John Dare Clements and wife, Kimberly Ann of Festus, MO, Anthony Dare Clements and wife, Laura Marie of Barnhart, MO, and Robert Dare Clements and wife, Sarah Marie of Hillsboro, MO; his mother, Virginia Clements of Eminence; two brothers, Rodney Clements and Dan Clements both of Eminence; three grandchildren, Kyle, Gracie, and Lucy Hutchinson all of Hillsboro, MO; niece, Virginia Claire (Jones) McCann and husband, Adam of St. Louis, MO; and nephew, William Raymond Jones of St. Louis, MO.

Mike was an amazing husband, father, and friend. He taught his kids to act like they owed everyone a million dollars, and the only way to pay him back is to do good deeds. He never knew a stranger and loved to laugh. Mike lived life to the fullest and was always quick with a joke. He was the kindest person ever, and he loved his family to a fault. His favorite sayings were "Every day's a holiday", "The Clements casino is always open', and "There's two things in life you don't mess with Mother Nature and Mike Clements."

A family-guided celebration of life was held Sunday, May 11, 2025. Cremation arrangements were under the direction of Yarber Mortuary, Eminence, Missouri. Condolences may be expressed at www.yarbermortuary.com.
