Clement Floyd St. Andrew

It is with great sadness that on November 20, 2014, Our Father, Grandfather, Great Grandfather, Great Great Grandfather, Brother, Uncle and friend passed away, he will be greatly missed. Clement Floyd St. Andrew, known simply as Floyd to those that knew and loved him, was one of six siblings. He was born on January 22, 1940 in St. Ignace, Michigan. This is where he met and married the love of his life, Shirley Jane Doucet of Lake Charles, Louisiana. They were married for over 50 years when she passed away in 2008. Together they took a leap of faith and had nine children. Floyd worked on the building of the Mackinac Bridge as a steel worker, until he had a catastrophic injury and was a truck driver after that for over 30 years. Floyd was unwittingly the first person to drive the entire span of the Mackinac Bridge. He was driving a scrap truck at the time for the construction company that was building the bridge, he was only supposed to go to a certain point and turn around but ended up driving past that point to the far side the end of the bridge and then back again, effectively making him the first person to drive the entire expanse of the Mackinac Bridge He was an avid fisherman and hunter who loved to have his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and family around him. Floyd is survived by his daughters, Renee St. Andre of Colorado, Sue Anselmo (Edward) of Alabama, Yvonne St. Andrew of St. Ignace, Michelle Corkern (James) and Lois Lee, both of Louisiana; his sons, Danny St. Andrew (Tracy) of North Carolina and Scott St. Andrew of St. Ignace; his brothers, Jerry St. Andrew (Trudy) and Doug St. Andrew (Brenda) of Michigan; and his sister, Lynda of Florida; and his in-laws, Shelby Doucet (Bonnie), Tee Dee Hughes (Charles) and Glen Demerit of Louisiana. He is also survived by countless grandchildren, great grandchildren, great great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, and aunts and uncles. Preceded in death by his wife, Jane; two of his sons, Leroy and Dennis, grandson, Scotty; his brothers, Roy and Robert; and his parents, Clement and Margaret. In accordance with Floyd's wishes there will be no funeral services or showing, but there will be a remembrance and celebration of his life in the spring or summer of 2015 where his ashes will be laid to rest next to his loving wife in St. Ignatius Loyola Catholic Cemetery in St. Ignace.
