When I heard the news
That you were gone
I thought to myself
This has to be wrong
A husband a father a brother a son
a cousin a friend
The list wont end
To some it up in just a few words
All around a great man
Who wont compare to any other
A genuine person
Who would help anyone out
Put his family first
no matter what
Well never forget the smile you had
The happiness you brought
My heart hurts.so bad
I Remember the cookouts
Playing in the pool
running around the house chasing you
Even remember
dancing at eachothers weddings
Holding hands
God I wish.you.were still here
Cant believe this.is real
Cannot believe gone
Ill love you always
and thats how it will be
No matter what were family
Ill always remember
The memories weve shared
Because I know youll always be near ....
Rip clayton I love you your always and forever in my heart

Dear Clayton and Ruth - Buddy and I were so sorry to learn of Clayton's passing. Our hearts go out to you both. We know exactly how you are feeling with this tremendous loss - parents are not supposed to bury their children. When we lost Josh, our hearts just broke. Remember all of the good times and be comforted by knowing how well Clay was thought of. Our memories of him are of a wonderful, caring young man with a wonderful sense of humor and a joy for life. The world is lessened by his loss, but heaven is greatly enriched by his presence there. Buddy & Judy Perry

I am so shocked to learn of Clay's passing. It brings back fond memories of middle and high school and even recent connections through Facebook with him. Clayton was always a sincere guy yet at the same time always finding the humorous in most experiences, which is a wonderful mixture to possess in a character such as his. I have been blessed to know him since 7th grade. May his Light shine on through his family and children as well as the wonderful memories we all hold in our hearts of Clay.
