I still think of "Brown" often. Hard to believe it's been 12 yrs. I miss his jovial nature. I'm sure he's making the Angel's laugh.

April 22, 2011 changed my life forever. Loosing you is something I didn't think would happen until we were older and had lived our lives to the fullest. I now know that I need to live like there is no tomorrow. You meant the world to me. I hope you know you will always be loved and there will never be a day I will not think of you. Until we meet again, I love u Clayton Brown.... Love, Amy

This is to Clayton; our really true friend; He's at a new life's beginning; and not life's end.
More than anything; he enjoyed his short life; Along with his kids, grandkids & Amy, his wife.
He loved to brag about; pictures on his phone; A man that was so proud; of his truly "Happy Home".
Although we know; you're in a better place; It's missing the grins & the smile on your face.
Your Mom and Dad must have been very proud; Especially now; that you're sharing their cloud.
The love for you here; the love is so great; But yet God was waiting; you couldn't be late.
It may be awhile; but one day we'll meet; Just promise us all; you'll save us a seat.
Your Trico Family will have to make do; We'll always remember; the great things about you.
I hope you realize; how much you'll be missed; Always remember that; we all here insist.
Going on without "Our Friend"; will really be rough; But knowing where you are; in itself, is enough.
You'll forever be; within all our hearts; Also number one; at the top of our charts.
From now on when we gaze; at the stars in the sky; It will be all of us; with tears in our eyes.

Amy and Kids,
I'm so sory about your loss. I have known Clayton for quite a while. He always had a smile on his face and I know that he thought the world of you all. The amount of compassion he seemed to have for everyone was amazing. It meant the world to him to make sure that Shane was able to do some of the things he loved before he was to leave us all also. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. May him and Shane have a ball together.

We were so sorry to hear of Clayton's passing. I always enjoyed seeing that grin of his. It never seemed like he had a bad day. People like Clayton are very rare and he will be missed by all who knew him. If there's anything we can do for you Amy, please let us know.

Several years ago when some of us "want-a-be" cowboys talked Dave and Sally Brielly into giving us western dance lessons, Dave said "dancing was just like skipping" to which Clayton replied that "my dad always told me real men don't skip". Well, we had a lot fun with Clayton and Amy at those lessons and Clayton was a real man. He was honest, trustworthy, kind and fun. He was special. He was Clayton! We are thankful he was in our lives. Amy and family, we trust that with some time your great memories will slowly over take your sorrow.

Amy, Craig, Clifford & the rest of you Guys,
Sure know you'll miss Clayton, reading the guest book I see some of the many things I missed knowing him more as a friend and Cousin. For all of around 50 years , a two day drive 1500 mile span away. As Mama Brown would say wish we were all closer just so she could touch you. We all here have our thoughts and Prayers with you. You still have a part of Clayton through your Family. May God comfort and help You. Depend on God from which all our strength cometh. Love you all. Cousin Steve

Amy, Don't know what to say. I know Clayton and I kinda drifted apart in the last couple of years but I think he knew I would always be there for you guys if needed something, likewise I'm sure. I loved him like he was my little brother and some day maybe I can tell you some early beer drinken stories. He could always make me laugh. Hope all is well with you and the boys. Love ya, God Bless.

Dear Amy and Boys,
My sister Colette contacted me about our cousin Clayton. I am still in shock and disbelief, just as I know all of you are. I have been trying to get a hold of you, but no one at school has a current telephone number.
This is unreal. I remember when he was born. With Uncle Carl and Aunt Vera living up the street from us, I became the designated babysitter when they would go out with my parents. Of the four Brown boys, Clayton was the one that could light up a room with his infectious smile. He always had such a caring spirit about him.
Ironically, when I moved back to Tucson and got back into teaching again, unbeknownst to me the school I was hired at was Colby’s grade school. Clayton would come by as often as possible to check on Colby as a caring and compassionate parent.
I truly regret when my sister Gail was home for Christmas and saw Clayton, Craig, and Clifford, that I was not with them. That is a good picture of Clayton, Gail, and Craig.
There has never been a doubt about how much he loved you Amy, along with his boys. He had so much love to give. I can see it now, the Lord has opened up His Heavenly gates for Clayton, while Uncle Carl is strumming on his guitar and singing An Old Rugged Cross, while Aunt Vera and Cousin Curtis welcome him home with loving and comforting embraces. They are all watching over you.

The Brown's and Dalton's go back to school days. This loss is a tremendous and emotional time for many. There was no one like Clayton. He loved to show us all pictures of his grandbabies. He was a wonderful husband, dad and grandpa. There will be a great void in the Trico lives without our good friend. He loved his family more than anything in the world. He loved going to the Dunes and racing his car. Our son Little Ray adored him. It was always talk about fast cars and car parts. We love you, Buddy.

Amy and Family,
We are so sorry to learn of Clayton's sudden passing. He will be remembered as a fun loving person. He offered his smile at every meeting. He enjoyed every day to the fullest. He dearly loved his family and friends (even the ones he hadn't met yet-since he had never met a stranger). Clayton was a wonderful person with the kindest of hearts. He will be truly missed.

I am so sorry to hear about Clayton. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. My sister Sue and I spent a good bit of time with Clayton and his family when we were all younger as our parents were good friends and my mom and his mom Vera were still good friends even after we all had grown up. God Bless you all and I pray that He brings you strength and comfort.

Amy, I am still trying to wrap my head around the news of Clayton's passing. I am so sorry. I used to babysit with all the boys when I was just a kid myself. I have many good memories of Clayton. The lasting memory is his love for you. Just a few months ago he told me "I don't know how I got so lucky to get Amy." He loved you and his boys and those grandkids so much. Stay strong Amy. I love you and I am praying for you. Marsha
