William Earl Clements, Jr., 53, went to be with our Lord on January 16, 2016. 

Bill passed away at Lake Charles Memorial Hospital after a sudden illness with 
his loving family at his bedside. 

Bill was a member of St. Martin de Porres Catholic Church where he volunteered 
for the children’s religious education program and was an active servant for 
the men’s ACTS retreats. 
His Friday evening prayer group meant the world to him. He was employed by 
Calcasieu Parish and treasured the friends he had on his work crew. He enjoyed 
fishing, cooking, and football. He loved spending time visiting with friends 
and family.

Bill is survived by his parents, Frances and Bill Clements, Sr., of Thibodaux, 
LA. He is also survived by his brother Brian Clements and wife Becky of Lake 
Charles, LA, and by his two sisters, Martha Guillot and husband Edward of 
Mandeville, LA, and Renee Lucas of Thibodaux, LA. Bill’s greatest joy was being 
“Uncle Billy” to Taylor Clements and wife Camryn (with baby Mason on the way), 
Ben Clements, Abigail Guillot, Jacob Guillot, Ashley Lucas, Ellie Clements, 
Lindsey Lucas, and Zeffrey Lucas. Bill is also survived by a stepson, Bradley 
Calvert of Shelbyville, KY.

Bill was preceded in death by his wife, Michele, of Shelbyville, KY, and by his 
loving grandparents, Dr. and Mrs. Francis Ducasse of New Orleans, LA and Mr. 
and Mrs. Gayle Clements of Shelbyville, KY.

Bill’s life will be celebrated on Wednesday, January 20, 2016, at St. John the 
Evangelist Catholic Church in Thibodaux, LA. Visitation will be held at the 
church from 8:30 a.m. until funeral time. A Mass of Christian Burial will take 
place at 11:00 a.m 

with burial to follow in St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church cemetery in 
Thibodaux. 

Pallbearers will be Taylor Clements, Ben Clements, Jacob Guillot, Mike Moore, 
Jeff Moore, Kyle Carpenter, and Jerry LeBlanc. Honorary pallbearers will be 
Zeffrey Lucas and Ricky Hanks.

A memorial service will be held at St. Martin de Porres Catholic Church in Lake 
Charles, LA on Thursday, January 28, 2016 at 7:00 p.m.

Bill’s family is so grateful for the excellent care given to him by Dr. Ron 
Lewis, Dr. R. Craig Broussard, and Dr. Gregory Rubino, as well as by the 
dedicated and loving staff at Lake Charles Memorial Hospital.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial donations be made to St. 
Martin de Porres ACTS Retreats (c/o St. Martin de Porres Catholic Church, 5383 
Elliott Road, Lake Charles, LA 70605) or to E. D. White Catholic High School
