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.
