Steve McClellan
Steven “Steve” Edward McClellan, 57, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, February 1, 2026. He was born July 18, 1968, in Hart, the son of Daniel McClellan Sr. and Nancy Anderson.
Steve deeply loved his family and found great joy in the time he spent with them. He was known for his uncanny sense of humor, often making it feel as though every day was April Fool’s Day, and he never missed an opportunity to make others laugh.
An avid outdoorsman, Steve enjoyed hunting and fishing whenever he was physically able, finding peace and purpose in the outdoors. His dog, Bear, was his constant companion and loyal sidekick, rarely leaving his side and sticking to him like Velcro.
Steve had a lifelong appreciation for old westerns, especially John Wayne movies and shows, and he was an avid reader of novels by Louis L’Amour.
Gifted with natural ingenuity, Steve always found a way to make things work, approaching every situation with resilience and a determination to make the best of it.

McClellan; son, Steven McClellan Jr.; daughter, Kayelee (Nate) Halvorsen; six grandchildren; mother, Nancy Anderson; step-mother, Ruby McClellan; brothers, Daniel McClellan Jr, Allen Scott (Christa) McClellan, John (Karen) Anderson, Ken Anderson, Bob (Vicky) McClellan; sisters, Nancy (Ken) Johnson, Renee Dennert, and Traci (Terry) Ross; many nieces, nephews, cousins and extended family members.
