Michael Paul McClung

Mr. Michael Paul McClung, 48, of Moreno Valley, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, December 17, 2024. He was born July 30, 1976 in Riverside, CA, a son of Janice McClung and the late Raymond McClung.

Michael received his GED from Moreno Valley Continuation School. He later received his Welding Certification at San Bernardino Valley College and his Machinist Certification at NTMA Machinist Career College. He was a craftsman who loved working with his hands and spent 20 years working at Western Metal Spinning. He loved spending time with his family, whether together or individually, including days spent at Lake Perris, trips to amusement parks, cooking from scratch, hiking, and listening to music. He was a devoted father that loved his children and never missed out on an opportunity to make a joke. He was always smiling, never met a stranger, and had a great taste in music. Two months ago, he gave his life to the Lord and is now in His peaceful presence. He is terribly missed.

Those left to cherish Michaels’ memory include his mother Janice of Oklahoma City; devoted wife and partner of 33 years, Kelly Marie McClung; son, Chris McClung and wife Sylvia of Hayden, Idaho; daughter, Samantha Long and husband Tyler of San Diego; son, Scottland McClung of Chico; daughter, Kasey Avalos and husband Christian of Yuciapa; son, Liam McClung; siblings, Travis McClung and wife Rebecca of Oklahoma City, Bill McClung and wife Jennifer of Moreno Valley; grandchildren, Mia McClung, Isabelle McClung, Sofia McClung, and Wolfgang McClung; numerous nieces and nephews, new life that’s on the way, and many friends.

A remembrance ceremony will be held at Miller Jones Mortuary, 23618 Sunnymead Blvd, Moreno Valley, CA, on Friday, December 27, at 1:00 pm.
