Daniel R. San Clemente, 68, of Medway passed away peacefully on Wednesday, October 21st, 2026 surrounded by his loving family after a brief illness.
Born, raised and educated in Natick, he was the son of the late Joseph and Mary (Deignan) San Clemente. Dan was a graduate of Natick High School, class of 1976, and achieved his Bachelor’s degree in Business at Lesley College .
He dedicated more than 40 years to a successful career in the insurance industry, where he held a variety of leadership and management positions. He concluded his career at John Hancock, where he spent more than 13 years before his retirement.
Dan was a lifelong fan of Boston sports. He enjoyed taking his sons to Fenway, attending Patriots training camp with friends and proudly joined the crowds to celebrate the team’s victories throughout the years.
Following his retirement, Dan never missed out on an opportunity to make memories with his family and friends. He continued his yearly tradition of drafting fantasy football teams, took up the game of pickleball with his childhood friends, spent several sunny days at the Cape Cod beaches and thoroughly enjoyed his part-time retirement job at Rocky’s Ace Hardware store in Medway.
His greatest joy in life was always making memories with his family, always celebrating holidays, birthdays and warm summer days that called for a trip to Black Cow for ice cream.
He is survived by his beloved wife of 44 years, Lynne San Clemente (Howe) as well as his children, Matt San Clemente and his wife Katie of Millville and Mark San Clemente and his partner Spencer Good of North Smithfield, RI.
He was also a loyal and devoted “Grampy” to his grandson, Caiden San Clemente, who brought him immense joy and held a very special place in his heart.
He is also survived by his four siblings: Bill San Clemente ofNorth Brookfield, MA; Carol Riddle of Plymouth, MA; Ed San Clemente of Falmouth, MA, and Paul San Clemente of Southborough, MA.
In addition, he is survived by his brother-in-law Lewis Howe of Middleborough, MA, his dear cousin Mary-Ann Deignan Hornbaker of Marlborough, MA and several nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his father, Joseph J. San Clemente and his mother, Mary L (Deignan) San Clemente as well as his father-in-law Lewis F. Howe and his mother-in-law Nancy L (Solari) Howe.
Family and friends are invited to pay their respects during calling hours on Tuesday, October 27th at the Ginley Funeral Home of Medway from 4-7 pm.
A funeral mass will be celebrated on Wednesday, October 28th at 10 am at St. Joseph’s Church in Medway.
