Clement Edward Huerstel, Jr., passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 12, 2020 at the age of 76. He was born on January 28, 1944. Clem is survived by his devoted and loving wife of 54 years, Mary Ann Lasseigne Huerstel and his children, Edward (Joni) Huerstel, Nancy (John) Gray, Suzy (Jamie) Lee, and Bryan (Christy) Huerstel. He is also survived by his grandchildren whom he adored, Cooper, Olivia and Brady Huerstel, Josh, John Jr., and Holly Gray, Jack, Eric, and Abby Lee. Clem is also survived by many nieces and nephews including Noah and Grant Lasseigne with whom he shared a special bond. He is also survived by his siblings, Henry (Darlene) Huerstel, David (Charlene) Huerstel, and Peggy Torres. Clem was preceded in death by his parents Clem Huerstel, Sr., and Rita Kinler Huerstel, brother-in-law Alvin Torres and nephew Lyle Torres. He will be missed by a countless number of family and friends as well as strangers who soon became friends because of Clem’s welcoming demeanor and outgoing personality. Clem was born and grew up in the Ninth Ward of New Orleans. He moved his family to St. Bernard Parish, also known as “Da Parish;” where they lived for 33 years. After Hurricane Katrina, he and Mary Ann relocated to Slidell, where they lived on the water, often fishing, crabbing and watching sunsets together. They loved to travel and tailgate with the LSU Tigers and hosted parties at their home when Clem could no longer travel. Clem loved to cook for family events, LSU tailgates, poker games, St. Luke’s Men’s Club, and golf tournaments. His biggest enjoyment was sitting back watching everyone enjoy themselves at these events. We would like to sincerely thank the Medina family who have blessed Clem and Mary Ann many times over with their generosity by treating them as family throughout their journey in Houston since 2017. We would also like to thank Father Tom Smithson and many of the parishioners of Corpus Christi Catholic Church who supported our family during Clem’s illness. Due to the current restrictions caused by the COVID 19 pandemic, there will be a private family funeral. A Celebration of Clem’s Life will be scheduled at a later date.
