He was born in Fall River on May 2, 1969 but moved to Island Park at an early age and became a lifelong Portsmouth resident who loved recreational clamming at “the pits” in Island Park with his friends and then continued to enjoy the pits with his children. He also enjoyed riding dirt bikes. Chris really enjoyed being out on the water and spending time with his kids and grandson. 

Chris will be joining his beloved parents Maureen and Phillip Clement Sr., in eternal rest.

Family and friends will be planning a celebration of life for Chris with details to come soon.
