David Thomas Reed McClellan

December 24, 1957 - November 12, 2016

David Thomas Reed McClellan passed away on November 12, 2016 at his home in White City, Utah. He was 58 years old. Dave was born December 24, 1957 in San Francisco, California to Dorothy McClellan Angle. He married Shelly Steen McClellan on December 17, 1994 in Salt Lake City, Utah. “Big Dave” worked at Utility Trailer Sales of Utah. He was known for his excellent customer service. Dave had an extreme passion for the Oakland Raiders football team and everyone knew about his love for Halloween and all things scary. Dave loved music from Metallica to the classics. He had a way with words and poetry. Even his grocery list would put most writers to shame. Dave could make the best cup of coffee you’ve ever tasted. He was a favorite uncle to his nieces and nephews. Dave was a kind and gentle person. He made everyone around him feel comfortable and included. He was well known for his big “BEAR HUGS” and everyone recognized his amazing voice on the phone or whenever he entered a room. In everything he did, he gave his “all”; whether it was finding parts for his customers or telling a joke. Dave loved with his whole heart and everyone loved him in return. We will miss his inspiring presence in our lives. Dave is survived by his loving wife Shelly, his aunt Joan McClellan (Arizona), his daughter Rebecca, his in-laws Norman and Shauna Steen, his brothers and sisters in-law, and his many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his mother, Dorothy Angle. Special thanks to Sandy City Fire Department and the Unified Police Department for their valiant efforts to save Dave’s life. Thank you to all the kind people at Utility Trailer Sales of Utah. Also a special thank you to Lehi Rodriquez and the staff at Serenity Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers hug a friend!
