    Officer Dement was such a joyful presence at Friendswood High School and will be sorely missed! Always quick to offer a smile, Officer Dement never made you feel like you were a child—which goes a long way when you’re a young and rebellious teenager. He was certainly in the right career and provided a watchful and respected eye that made high school, a.k.a. the world, a better place. Lots of love to his family. May Jesus be near to your hearts.

  4. Proud to be related to this wonderful man. He loved our sister deeply and embraced her family with open arms. He was such a devoted first responder and loved working with the public , especially children. We will miss him.

  5. Sgt. Dement was a great representative for the City of Friendswood. For many years during my morning drive to work, he would be directing traffic at the intersection of Stadium Drive and FM 2351 at Westwood- Bales. Always with a smile and wave, traffic flowed flawlessly. I did not know him personally, but he exuded such a professional demeanor, couple with caring and confidence. I am sure he will be missed by those who worked with him and those who loved him. My prayers and condolences go out to each of you. I will leave you with this:

    "A Fallen Limb"
    unknown author

    A limb has fallen from the family tree.
    I keep hearing a voice that says,
    "Grieve not for me. Remember the best times,
    the laughter, the songs.
    the good life I lived while I was still strong.
    Continue my heritage, I'm counting on you.
    Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through.
    My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest,
    remember all how I truly was blessed.
    Continue traditions, no matter how small,
    go on with your life, don't just stare at the wall.
    I will miss you all dearly, so keep up your chin,
    until the day comes, we're together again.

    God bless

    Bonnie and James,
    I'm so saddened to hear about James's death. I've always loved and admired your family and am sorry for the sorrow that you are enduring.
