Clay David Butler

On June 22nd, 2024 the Clay Butler Memorial Garden was dedicated at Alimur Mobile Home Park in Soquel, Ca. Clay was instrumental in our being able to buy the park from the owner. He dedicated many years and was tireless in his determination to accomplish this goal. in 2015 we succeeded; thanks to Clay and others. He was an amazing man and I can't describe how much I admired and respected him. He will not be forgotten. Gone entirely too soon.

I am so sad to learn of Clays passing. I looked forward to his wonderful photography on facebook. I haven´t heard about his journey in a while and did a search and found he passed. My condolences to his wife and child and family. He will be remebered always by his beautiful photography. RIP sweet man!

Sending all the love to Rosalee and Jennifer. May Clay's memory be a blessing. He touched so many lives and added so much love to this world.

Thank you Clay for sharing your experience. Sadly I discovered your YouTube following my recent enucleation due to ocular melanoma. We both had same diagnosis, the same reason to ditch radiation therapy, and go straight for removal.
Mine was right eye & I'm only just starting my journey with scans to check for metastasis, and your videos allowed me to understand what I have been experiencing since my op and for once not feel alone.
You covered everything that I am relating to.

Clay was a friend of mine and I can't believe he's gone. I was just going through some old videos of the performance space I ran back in the 90's in Santa Cruz and found some video of him which was quite funny. I did a web search with his name to connect with him and I found his obituary. This is truly shocking and I'm super sad to hear he left the planet. Please reach out to me Rosalee so I can send you video if you're interested.

I did not know him personally but I felt I did through his writing. I love his art and beautiful photographs. He chronicled his cancer journey on Facebook with such a positive mentoring and I´m sure his words have helped many. He was such an inspiration to me and so many others. What an amazing gentleman he was. My deepest sympathies to his family and friends. RIP Dear Clay. You were loved by so many .
