Clayton Chauvin Obituary
Born in Morgan City, La., on Nov. 3, 1971, he was son of Margaret (Sutton) (Chauvin) Butler of Greenville, Tenn., and the late Clayton W. Chauvin Sr. Educated in Los Angeles, he was a graduate of O Perry Walker High School in New Orleans.
Following his high school education, he entered the Marine Corps and proudly served during the Gulf War. He had worked for most of his life as a metal fabricator, working in architectural design.
Clayton enjoyed spending time with his son, bass fishing, boating and the water. He also liked drawing, listening to music, and following the Red Sox as well as other sports.
He moved to Plymouth five months ago, previously residing in South Yarmouth.
Besides his parents, Mr. Chauvin is survived by his son, Jackson of Plymouth. He was the cherished companion of Marta Aylmer, with whom he made his home.
A memorial service will take place on Saturday, at 12:30 p.m., at the Cartmell Funeral Home, 150 Court St., Plymouth. Friends may call at the Cartmell Funeral Home, on Saturday, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Cremation will take place at Mayflower Crematory in Duxbury.

Mr. Chauvin,
Sir, as a fellow Marine I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the USMC during the Gulf War in 1991. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

My thoughts and prayers are with Clayton's family, especially his son Jackson who he was so proud of. I was saddened to hear of his passing. We tended bar together and had some good times. The last time I saw Clayton he was showing me pictures of his son and we shared a good laugh. I hope he is at peace.
