Clement Buckley Newbold III

Clement Buckley Newbold III, age 54, of Clermont, Florida passed away suddenly on Monday, September 2, 2024. He was fondly called by his nickname "Clem" by his family and friends. Clement earned his bachelor's of science degree from Appalachian State University, Boone, N.C. and his Master's in Prosthetics and Orthotics from Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois.

Clement was preceded in death by his mother Virginia Dunkerton Newbold.

He passed while cycling which was one of his life long passions. Of particular note both he and his father rode their bicycles across the continental United States from Oregon to Virginia consisting of a duration of 33 days. Inspired by that expedition, Clem was training for another expedition--The Tour Divide--which is a 2,745 mile north to south route beginning in Banff, Alberta and concluding in Antelope Wells, New Mexico. He began his cycling career at 8 years old as a BMX racer and eventually graduated to racing Cat 1 / 2 criteriums, time trials, circuit and road races. Of those races, he was most proud of his top finish in the state time trial championship in Georgia.

Those left to cherish his memory are his wife Elizabeth Myers Newbold ("Lisa"), son Clement Buckley Newbold IV ("Buckley"), sisters Pamela Newbold Watson and husband (Elisha), Mariamne Newbold Schulte (Stephen), father Clement Buckley Newbold Jr. ("G.P.") and wife Betz. Also, he is survived by his nieces, Mariamne Meade Schulte (“Mini”) and Meredith Ann Schulte. And, last but not least, he is survived by his beloved German Shorthaired Pointer, Hank.

A private family viewing will be held for Mr. Newbold through Marion Nelson Funeral Home, Lake Wales, Florida. A memorial service is then planned for a future date to accommodate his many out of state family and friends.

Pendry's Lenoir Funeral Home is honored to serve the Clement Buckley Newbold III family.
