The Lord took Clayton gently to heaven with him on March 3, 2020. His life may not have always been easy for Clayton, but nothing ever slowed him down. He lived life to the fullest. He loved all of his family and friends the same way he lived. And his family loved him the same way. Clayton loved hanging out with his family and being outdoors.

Now that he is with The Lord, he has joined his father, Warren Alexander, grandmother, Bernice Williams, grandfather, Walter "Sambo" Alexander, grandfather, Irven O'Harrah, grandmother, Corrine Steele; uncle, Jerry Alexander, aunt, Clara O'Harrah, aunt, Joanne Runyan, and Uncle Mike O'Harrah; cousins, Robert Cleary, Robin Perry, Dave Hunter; niece, Tara Taylor, great-nephew, Jaymen Taylor.
