CLEMENT, Andrew J. Petty Officer, Second Class Andrew J. Clement, 38, of Topsfield, died unexpectedly, Tuesday, June 21, 2016 while deployed to Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti, Africa as part of Operation Enduring Freedom. Born in Beverly, he was the son of Diane Clement of Florida. He was raised in Peabody, graduated from Peabody High School and earned a Bachelor's Degree from the University of San Diego. Andrew enlisted in the United States Navy in 1997, seeing action during Desert Storm and was honorably discharged in 2010. He re-enlisted and had served the past six years with the Naval Reserves. Andrew was never without a hardcover book in hand frequenting every local library reading for hours on end, nor lacked versing a quote from one of his favorite movies such as the Godfather, as well as a deep passion for politics, involving himself in campaigns, visiting every capital house in the U.S., or giving historical details about each and every president. He was committed to his country's soul and protecting her fiercely. Watching Jeopardy with him only made you realize either you were really dumb or he was incredibly smart, truly the latter. In addition to his mother, he is survived by Doris "Auntie Doris" Tweedy of Topsfield, aunt, Lois Tweedy of Vermont, uncle, Edward Tweedy of Florida, grandmother, Alice Tweedy of Florida and his extended family, The Cormier's. His funeral service will be held graveside, at the Central Cemetery, Butman Street, Beverly, Friday, July 1, 2016 at 1 p.m. Relatives and friends are invited to attend. Visiting hours at the Campbell Funeral Home, 525 Cabot Street, BEVERLY, Thursday from 4 to 7 p.m. Contributions may be made in his memory to your local town library.
