Gene A. McClellan, 73, of Mogadore, Ohio, born December 6, 1938 to the late Earl and Eileen McClellan, passed away March 19 2012 and is now with his Lord.
His three adult children, (Dean, Tracy, and Erin); his wife of 30 years, (Christine); three older brothers, (Robert, Richard,
and Wayne); two
grandchildren, (Arthur and Jacob); many nieces and nephews, friends, and
former co-workers at The Akron Beacon Journal survive Gene.
Additionally, Gene was a printer at The Akron Beacon Journal for over forty years. He was quick to make friends and he had many outside interests that kept him busy along with raising a family. He enjoyed tinkering on cars and motorcycles, being outdoors, especially playing in the garden, spending time with his family, enjoying life, and staying positive. Moreover, his mottos were: "I am good, great, kind, wonderful, sweet, charming, and adorable" and "I am healthy, strong, young, powerful, loving, harmonious, successful, and happy." He was all of those and so much more. He also liked to quote John 14:6, "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." Thus, Gene will be warmly missed by all of his family and friends, and we rejoice in his everlasting life.
