of Harrison, AR
November 22, 1966 - November 20, 2021
David R. Clemence, II, age 54, passed away Saturday, November 20, 2021, at Cox Medical Center in Branson Missouri. He resided in Harrison, at his home and land, which he referred to as Heaven on Earth. David was born November 22, 1966, in Harrison, the son of David (Dave) Clemence and Virginia Clemence Parker.
David loved heights. For most of his life, he worked as a telephone lineman or large tower erector. His favorite thing to do was work. He absolutely loved working outside. If he was cutting firewood or burning something he was happy. The last few years of his life he fought esophageal cancer, which took his ability to swallow and his strength, but against all odds, he had won that fight. His strength, however, never fully recovered and he would consistently overdo it to the point that it eventually was more than his body could take.
He was preceded in death by his father, David Roy Clemence, II, and his mother, Virginia (Clemence) Parker.
David is survived by his brother and sister, Scott Clemence and Dawn, and Ginger McBee and John; an aunt, Linda Graves; his nieces and nephews, Stephanie McBee Bullington, Shawn McBee, and Matthew Clemence, and his love, Jill (Liljequist) Clemence.
The graveside service was at Denver Cemetery, Saturday, November 27 at 2:00 pm. Viewing was at Roller Christensen Funeral Home.

I recall Jody and him always having fun in elementary. I saw him a few times in the past couple of years, he was always smiling. Prayers for all.

I am so sorry to hear David has passed. He and I graduated together and rode the same school bus all through elementary, junior high and high school until we could drive. He was always a kind soul. My heart hurts for your family.
