Chad Clements

Chad Clements, age 26, was killed on August 30, 2010, by a roadside bomb while on a mission in Afghanistan.

Chad Clements joined the Army in 2009 to “serve and protect” his country, his sister said. He was a 2002 graduate of Huntington North High School and was stationed at Fort Carson, Colo. His job in the military involved transportation.  

Chad loved his family and friends with all his heart,” Danielle Clements said. She also recalled her brother’s love of the Fort Wayne Komets and Pittsburgh Penguins hockey teams and collecting memorabilia of NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt.  He also admired a certain NFL quarterback when he was younger and would delight his family when donning that quarterback’s jersey.  “Our fondest memory of Chad was when he was little he used to dress up like Joe Montana!” she said in the Facebook message.

Chad Clements is preceded in death by his father, Daniel R. Clements, and a brother, Zachary James, his sister said. In addition to his sister, he is survived by his mother, Anne Beady Tarter, and his stepfather, Ed Tartar, as well as grandparents, stepgrandparents, a stepbrother and stepsister and a host of other family members and friends.

Let us pray to God the Father, Jesus, all of the saints and all of the angels that Chad Clements is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen
