Paul Warren Clement entered eternal rest on February 19, 2025, in Snowflake, Arizona. Paul was born on March 14, 1941, to Thomas Woodfred Clement and Hilda Palmer Clement in Mesa, Arizona. He grew up with his 5 siblings in Gilbert, Arizona.
Paul grew up as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served a 2 year mission to New Zealand. He grew to love the culture and the music from there and shared it with his family throughout their lives.
Paul met his wife, Loraine Bryce, in 1961, while attending school at EAC. They were married on July 16, 1964, in the Mesa Arizona Temple. They had a wonderful life together and had 9 children consisting of 5 boys: Paul, Aaron, Bryce, Warren, and Keith and 4 daughters: Lori, Rachael, Katrina, and Cassandra.
Paul worked as an auto mechanic. He could tell what was wrong with a car based on the noise you told him it was making, or when you drove it past him. His father owned Clements Garage in Gilbert, Arizona, and when the time came, Paul and his brother, David, took it over and they continued to keep that garage open.
Paul served in many callings for the LDS church throughout his lifetime. Part of that was many years of being a Scout Master for the Boy Scouts.
Paul is preceded in death by: his father, Thomas Clement; mother, Hilda Palmer Clement; brothers, Thomas Clement and Daniel Clement; and sister, Modena Jensen.
He is survived by: his wife, Loraine Bryce Clement; sons, Paul Alma Clement, Aaron Dewey Clement (Ginny), Bryce Woodfred Clement (Treany), Warren Thomas Clement (Alyson), Keith Kimball Clement (Delilah); daughters, Lori Clement Staddon (Dave), Rachael Clement O'Connor (Kelly), Katrina Clement Schuessler (preceded by Verne), Cassandra Clement (Roger); sister, Merlynn Barber; and brother, David Palmer Clement. He was also blessed with 20 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren.
Graveside services for Paul will be conducted on Saturday, March 1, 2025, at 4:00 p.m., in the Ashurst Cemetery. To send flowers to the family or plant a tree in memory of Paul, please visit our floral store.
