On March 18th, 2017, a very special man
was taken suddenly from our world.
The families of Darcy Clancy would like to
express our heartfelt appreciation for the
kindness, love and support shown to us
during our heartbreaking loss. We are
grateful to all that have sent us encouraging
words of comfort and have given many
hugs. We would like to give a sincere thank
you to all of his co-workers who were with
him that 'morning, Huron County EMS,
Goderich Hospital emergency staff and
doctors who worked so hard in his time of
need. The volume of people offering assis-
tance from this community and across the
country reflects how special Darcy was and
how he had touched everyone's heart dur-
ing his short time with us. The
overwhelming support, honour guard, and
respect shown from the Ironworkers of
Local 736 and 721 as well as other local
union members has been heartwarming to
say the least. Thank you to our families, all
of our friends, and neighbours for the food
brought to our homes, beautiful cards, on-
line condolences, mass cards, floral tributes
and gifts. Thank you also for the kind
emails, phone calls and visits. The magni-
tude of generous donations to Chepstow
Minor Sports, and the Darcy Clancy
Bursary Fund made in his honour has been
truly unbelievable. Thank you to Cameron's
Funeral Home for their guidance , compas-
sion and assistance with the visitation,
funeral and celebration of life. Your kind-
ness and professionalism will always be
remembered. Special thank you to Brian
Raper and the Cargill Hall staff, Harley's in
Mildmay for catering, Father Luc Payette,
Chepstow Church Choir ladies, pall bearers
and flower bearers. A heartfelt thank you to
our wedding party, Brock Fryday and
Vanessa Andrew for continuing to be there
for"us daily. Thank you also, to Curt
Schmaltz, Kathryn Alton, Stephen and
Patricia Peck, and Keith Spitzig for the
readings and prayers at the mass. Thank
you to Jean Clancy, Jeff Wilkin, Jason
Niesen, and Russel Hurst for their kind
words and memories shared at the cele-
bration of life and to Bill Clancy and family
for all of their help and thoughtfulness. To
the staff and students of JDSS and KDSS
as well as the Bluewater District School
Board, thank you for your support during
this most difficult time. The memories that
we all have of Darcy will never be forgot-
ten, as it is impossible not to remember the
magnificent human being he was as a lov-
ing husband, son, brother, uncle, son in
law, brother in law and loyal friend. Darcy
was dedicated to living life to the fullest,
making others feel special, being a hard
worker and outstanding team mate. He
would have been overwhelmed and hum-
bled to see the outpouring of support and
recognition he received. Darcy was one of a
kind, and his legacy will live on in the minds
and in the actions of others that wished to
be just a little more like him. We will contin-
ue to hold Darcy in our hearts forever and
to be thankful that we had the privilege of
knowing such a remarkable young man.
Sincerely, Roselyn and the Clancy and
Hurst Families

The momerit that you died,
My heart was torn in two,
One side filled with heartache,
The other died with you.
I hold you tightly within my heart,
And there youwill remain,
Until the joyous day arrives,
That we will meet again.
All our Love Elinor and family.
