Clement was my classmate and we graduated together in 1981 from Colstrip High School!!! He was a very soft spoken and gentle soul. I will miss my brief visits with him at the Lame Deer store. Rest in Peace Clement…

So sorry for your lost, I remember Clement when he worked at the Depot, me and my daughter Vincynthia used to always tease him, he would tease us back in his quiet tone of voice. So soft spoken but always made us laugh at the silly things he would say. Yup, he will be greatly missed, Rest In Peace my friend, travel home on Angel’s wings, tell Vince I miss her.

My uncle, I will miss him. I grew up surrounded with his love of music and it enhanced my love of music. His room was a sanctuary of all things he loved, the posters of artists he loved. The thing I remember most is the mirror ball he had hanging from the ceiling. The disco dances at the catholic social room, his stereo, his lights, his posters.. the wallflowers in bloom.. god has gained one the best disco Deejay in rez history.. and the best hair stylist, hair cutter.. I love you my uncle.. I will miss you..
Bertie Brown says

So very sorry for your loss Roseanne and family. He always had a smile on his face if anything was wrong you could not tell, How brave you are Clement more than most of us. The students at the Lame Deer High School mentioned you. I know you are smiling in heaven now and can watch over your nieces and nephews at the school.
