Hugh R.S. Claver, age 69, of Zeeland, Michigan, passed away in Holland, Michigan on July 10, 2024. Hugh was born in Los Angeles, California to Randall Willard Claver and Louise (Schowe) Claver on November 3, 1954. He is survived by his brother, Father Karl Claver, and sister, Lianne Claver. He was an active member of St. Margaret Mary Church in Allendale. Hugh worked at Western Michigan Fleet Parts in Zeeland for many years and retired in 2007. 

In retirement, Hugh loved traveling, fishing, hunting, and was an avid collector. He loved volunteering, specifically with the Knights of Columbus. Nothing gave Hugh more enjoyment than spending time with his friends and family. Hugh was a kind, giving, gentle soul who was known among his friends for his pico salsa!

Hugh Claver was a very kind,gentle man and a devout Catholic.He and I shared a love for fishing and spoke of our fishing outings after Mass on Sundays. He will be sorely missed by the St Margaret Mary parishioners. I offer my deepest sympathy to Father Claver, his sister, Lianne and all his family and friends. Requiescat in pace.
