Scott A. Clyden

–

Kankakee, Illinois

On May 9, 2023, Scott A. Clyden passed away at his home, wrapped in the arms of people who loved him. His wife Annette (Morris) Clyden covering him with love, care, and warm blankets. Born on June 1, 1962, to Marge (John) Sarajew and Jack (Pam) Allison, Scott lived his life coast to coast always looking for the next adventure. A “snake it the pocket” type of boy, and “hitchhike across the USA” type of man, he loved canoeing, traveling, and music, mostly Kid Rock. Building towers for most of his life, but also working construction and farming, Scott worked hard, but found time to make memories working through his bucket list with his wife and his dogs. He was blessed with a family tree full of branches. Sibling love in bounds Jack and Marge also shared his two sisters Tracy Gray and Gina (Todd) Brassard. Marge would later give Scott his little brother Marvin Clyden. Jack then grew his family and Scott had another little sister, Sandra Doud, as well as four additional siblings including Charles, Bryan and Stacy Allison, and Robin Rogers. Annette and Scott started as best friends then married in 1992 becoming soul mates. Blending their families, Scott’s four children, Heather (Jeremy) Clyden, Justin (Jessica) Clyden, David Williams, and Jason (Jennifer) Reiniche and Annette’s two children Jennifer (Jeramy) Kissack and Joshua Palenik became forever siblings. Being blessed beyond measure with grandchildren, including Jordan, Jackson, Tristen, Taya, Traeh, Hannah, Jalynn, Levi, Gavin, Jared, Michael, Cynthia, Benjammin, Alexys, Nevaeh, Zachary, Trent, and Lexii, his papawk heart was full. Scott shared special family bounds with his father-in-law Johney Morris and best friend nephew Tyler Wadley. Imaginably Scott had several loving nieces, nephews, sister/brother in laws, and cousins, but a special heavenly love is now shared with his niece Brooke who also started her heavenly journey on May 9th, a few years ago and much too soon. So many families and friends here will miss him always, but there is joy in heavenly reunions. His mother-in-law Sandy and Dolores, two brothers-in-law, James and Butch; his Grandma Bretz, Grandma and Grandpa Schwartzph, all waiting with smiles, but most of all the longest and biggest hug shared between Scott and his son Josh sealed his welcome home. Kid Rock sang “and somehow God placed his hands on your shoulders way too way too soon”. And all who knew and loved Scott would agree. Rest Easy Crash. There will be a luncheon following the service at Jensen Funeral Home
