John Thomas Clelland

John Thomas “Tom” Clelland, age 78, of Zeeland, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, June 17, 2020, after a two-year battle with cancer with his wife and children by his side, and his dog, Woody, who never left his side. Tom was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He worked most of his life in the oil fields, having to take over his father’s oil well service business. His skill as a welder brought the Grand Lady Riverboat to life. Tom enjoyed spending time outdoors in the yard and gardening over the last many years. He was preceded in death by his parents, George and Nancy Clelland. Tom will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 25 years, Delaine Goble-Clelland; children, Etta and Sam Wilder, Tom Clelland, Susan and Mike Wohlscheid, Bob Clelland, Dede Clelland, Steven and Glenda Clelland, Dan Bennet, and Justin Goble; numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren; brothers, Pete Clelland, and Dave Clelland; and several nieces and nephews. Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, June 24, 2020, at 4 p.m. at Matthysse Kuiper DeGraaf Funeral Home (Grandville) 4145 Chicago Dr. SW with Pastor Dennis Gilbert officiating. Relatives and friends may meet the family Wednesday from 2-4 p.m. prior to the service at the funeral home.
