Clay Phillip McGorman, 69, passed away peacefully on June 25, 2026, in Leesburg, Florida. Born on March 12, 1957, in Mount Clemens, Michigan, Clay spent many years raising his family in Clinton Township, Michigan before relocating to Florida with his beloved wife Barbara. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend whose kindness, humor, and unwavering love for his family left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him.
Clay dedicated 44 years of his career as a maintenance manager before enjoying a well-earned retirement. Outside of work, he had a passion for racing stock cars, watching Nascar, enjoyed hunting, and was happiest when he was behind the grill, surrounded by family and friends. His family will always smile at the memory of joking that his Nintendo racing experience made him a natural behind the wheel. He was known for his quick wit and infectious sense of humor, always bringing laughter to those around him. Above all else, Clay treasured the time he spent with his loved ones and created countless memories that will be cherished for generations. He and his wife Barbara shared 35 wonderful years of marriage built on love, commitment, and family.
Clay is survived by his loving wife, Barbara McGorman; his children, Billy Anderson (Jenny), Nicole Voiland (Daniel), Eric Bukowiecki (Krystal), Jessica Colón (Ryan), and Kyle McGorman (Sarah); his nine grandchildren, Thomas, Faith, Hope, Lydia, Daniel, Rozlynn, Tryst, Myrra, Knox, and Baby Boy; his two great-grandchildren, Aereli, Levi and Itala; and his siblings, Crystal Wienczak, Curt McGorman, and Carma Capizzo. He was preceded in death by his parents, Phillip and Nancy McGorman. His family will forever cherish his love, guidance, laughter, and the many memories they shared together.
A Celebration of Life to honor Clay’s memory will be announced at a later date. Family and friends are invited to gather to celebrate a life well lived and to share stories of the husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend whose legacy of love, laughter, and dedication to family will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
