He told us not to cry, but we did anyway.

He told us he didn't want an obituary, but clearly, we broke that rule as well.

Bruce LeRoy Clements lived life on his own terms, so he's got to be a little proud that he's passed that on to his family.

He didn't want us to share that he was a talented baritone, a falconer, that he spent 32 years as a Salt Lake County Deputy Sheriff, or about the lives he saved and the lives he blessed.

He didn't think it worth mentioning that he attended the graveside services of hundreds of military veterans and local law enforcement to stand at attention and display a flag in honor of their service.

Bruce passed peacefully on October 20, 2021 in the tender care of his sisters.

Born March 25, 1944 to George Lauren Clements and Eudora Fowler, he leaves behind his sisters Julie (Scott) Steenblik, and Jennifer (Paul) Cahoon as well as his daughter April James and son Michael Clements. His 5 granddaughters are honored to have the most "Bad Ass" Grandpa around.

We weren't supposed to have any services, but… a Celebration of Life will be held on November 10, 2021, from 1:00-2:30pm at the Utah Veterans Memorial Park Chapel, 17111 South 1700 West, Bluffdale, because it's only fitting and because he's worth the effort, whether he believed it or not. Wear your leather, your denim, or whatever makes you happy because he wants us to be happy. Burial to take place at a later date.

In leu of flowers, do a good deed, drink a coke, take a ride on a motorcycle, or thank a Veteran for their service.
