Default Christophe Clement, 59

Fast moving cancer claimed Christophe this morning. One of the top horsemen of his generation. Thoughts to Valerie, Charlotte/Shaun, Miguel/Acacia and his loyal staff. Really sad.

so sad...Mr. Clement prepared a personal statement prior to his passing to be posted on his social media account on "X". May he rest in heavenly peace...
