Hasting's Reminder - Saturday May 16, 2026

DENNIS MICHAEL CLAYCOMB, of Hastings, passed away on May 6, 2026, in Grand 
Rapids at age 75. Hev was born January 20, 1951, in Ionia, the son of Kenneth 
and Alice (Esterbrook) Claycomb.

Dennis attended Godwin and Kelloggsville schools and proudly served his country 
in the United States Marine Corps from 1969 to 1971. He later worked for 27 
years at Steelcase Manufacturing before retiring.

Dennis loved riding his Harley-Davidson motorcycle and especially enjoyed taking 
trips through the Upper Peninsula, where he appreciated the beauty of nature and 
the open road. He was very proud of his service as a Marine and carried that 
pride throughout his life.

Known for his "gift of gab," Dennis never met a stranger and could strike up a 
conversation with anyone. He also had a special fondness for Bob, his stuffed 
bear, whom he enjoyed dressing in different outfits, bringing smiles to those 
around him.

He was preceded in death by his parents, four brothers, and one sister.

Dennis is survived by his significant other of 34 years, Kathy Engle; Kathy's 
daughters, Jamie (Todd) Klecka and Angie (Jeff) Lucas; his sister, Shirley (Joe) 
Fedewa; his brother, Ronald(Barb) Claycomb; and many nieces and nephews who will 
cherish his memory.
A private service will be held at a later date.
