Brian Clement Obituary

Brian Anthony Clement passed away on Tuesday, November 23, 2021 at the age of 62 years. Husband of 40 years to his beloved, Nancie Clement. Son of the late Paul Edward Clement and Celeste Beverly Clement. Father of Jessica Gorman and Jarad Clement (Katie). Brother of Donald Clement Sr, (Judy), the late Diane Lacoste (Eddie), Susan Williams (Walter), Dane Clement (Anne), and Paul Clement Jr. (Celeste). Grandfather of Lea Gorman, Porter Clement, and Miles Clement. Brian also leaves behind many nieces, nephews, other family members and friends who loved him dearly. Born in New Orleans Baptist Hospital and raised in Arabi and Metairie, Brian graduated from Archbishop Rummel High School in 1977 and owned Property Damage Appraisal Inc with his wife Nancie for many years. Following his father, Paul Clement Sr., into the insurance appraisal business, Brian was a talented and respected member of his professional community. More importantly to those who knew and loved him, Brian was a person of tremendous compassion and concern for others. His habit of noticing the needs of those around him, and responding spontaneously to those needs, was one of his many endearing qualities. He was incredibly generous and loved giving much more than receiving. A lover of music, Brian played trumpet through his junior high and high school years and enjoyed exploring and listening to all types of music throughout his life. Growing up, he had a record collection that was envied by all which he loved sharing with anyone who wanted to listen, especially if they wanted to listen to the Moody Blues or Pink Floyd. He had a wicked sense of humor that would evoke belly laughs from those around him. He was also a creative visual artist who was most comfortable expressing himself to others through his unique artistic vision. Departed far too soon, Brian will always be missed and remembered by those who knew and loved him. Relatives and friends are invited to attend the memorial service in the Chapel of Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd. in New Orleans, on Friday, December 3, 2021 at 12:00PM. A gathering for family and friends will be held at the funeral home beginning at 10:00AM. The interment will follow the Chapel service at Lake Lawn Park.

I was so blessed to grow up across the street from the Clement family since 1972. It was a fun time in life! Mr. Paul and Mrs. Celeste raised 3 amazing boys together. After moving away from New Orleans, I have always made sure to visit when I am in town and, on occasion, would get to see Brian. He would always give me a big bear hug and would make me laugh about anything and everything. He made me and everyone who knew him feel special. He will be remembered for his amazing personality and love for the peopel in his life.
I will continue to pray for all of the Clements. He will be greatly missed. Gone too soon.
All our love and prayers,
Valerie (Sigur) Linn, Kevin, Jennier, Megan and Stephen

I was saddened to hear of Brian's passing. Earlier this year Brian worked on a project for a company developing an artificial intelligence program that I'm a part of. He was very gracious and always willing to lend a hand. He was the salt of the earth individual. May he rest in peace. My sincere condolences to the entire Clement family.
