Obituary for William Francis "Bill" Clemons IV
William Francis "Bill" Clemons, IV, 53, passed away December 8, 2022. Bill was born in Warren, Michigan to Karen McCourt Britt and the Late WIlliam F. Clemons, III. He will always be remembered as an honest, loving, and hard-working man. Bill was known for successfully owning and managing his company A-1 Company Inc. His dedication to his craft and professionalism brought him the success and rich life he deserved. His infectious laugh and smile could light up a room and could always bring a smile to anyone's face.
He loved living in the fast lane and enjoyed fast Chevy cars and ATVs. He loved and desired the classics as he enjoyed collecting antiques and loved to work on and restore his cars, a 1968 Chevelle SS and his 1969 Chevy Malibu. Although he had many life struggles, he persevered and overcame them stronger and wiser than before. He loved his family, especially his four children, his Mother, and his friends, and made sure he helped anyone who needed a hand.
Being outdoors and on his boat fishing was something that he highly enjoyed. Bill was proud to call Michigan his home for most of his adolescence and early twenties. Proudly being from Detroit, his love of the Detroit Red Wings and Detroit Lions was unwavering. His dog Sammy was his trusted, loyal companion and his best friend. Bill and his significant other, Michelle, spent 14 years together. They loved each other through many stages of life.
Besides his mother, Karen M. Britt, he is also survived by his beloved children, Ashley Rose Clemons, William Francis Clemons, V, and wife Christina Clemons, Chaz William Clemons, and Paige Clemons; one grandson, Charles Vernell Clemons; five granddaughters, Dana Rose Clemons; Kingsleigh Mariana Clemons, Keilani Madeline Clemons, Vada May Simmons, Kora June Simmons, brother, James Joseph Clemons; sister, Connie Lynn Britt.
