Robert Lavern Clemens

Robert was born on November 7, 1937, in Peoria, IL. He was raised by Gerald and Frances (Schmitt) Clemens.

He married Glenna Jaeger in 1960. They were married for 46 years and had 4 children together. He later in life met Linda Leonard and spent 18 years together until her passing in 2021.

After he graduated from Manual High School, Robert enlisted in the United States Marine Corp and served for 2 years.

Robert was an avid Chicago Cubs and Chicago Bears fan. He loved spending time with his children, grandchildren, and great grandson. His granddaughter took him to several Manual High School basketball games through the season, and eventually to the State Championship game in Champaign.

Robert is survived by his children, Kari (Mark) Davis, Kelley (Brian) Yount, and Derek Clemens; his grandchildren, Jacob (Kaycee) Smith, Jade Davis, Mitch (Lynn) Davis, Drew Foster, and Carly Clemens; his great grandson, Nolan Smith; his half sister, Kate (Randy) Bean; and his nieces, Sharon (Jerry) Woodson and Debbie (Brent) Hewitt.

He is preceded by his parents; his ex-wife, Glenna; his long term partner, Linda; and his son, Drew Clemens.

A Celebration of Life in honor of Robert will be held at a later date.
