Clay Lynwood Dunham

Clay was one of those people that always brightened the day for those around him. Even though he was my older brother's friend he never made me feel like I was tagging along or not part of the group. From cruising McKinleyville in his Corolla to boating at the lake, you always knew if Clay was there it was going to be a good time. Clay played a big part of making my first couple years of highschool much easier and a lot more fun. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him.

Our prayers are with all of you at this time of loss. MAy GOd surround you with His perfect peace and love at such a difficult time. We remember Clay and his wonderful outlook on life as he spent time with our son Nic, daughter Heather and us. We particularly remember a skiing trip he went on with us to Mount Shasta. He hadn't skied before but with his usual exuberance went off down the hill at top speed taking all the falls and bruises in stride. He always had a smile and took the time to...

Gary and Michelle, We were so sorry to hear about Clay. He was a good friend to my son (David Huffman). He had a great heart and a wonderful laugh, and he will be missed.

When I was growing-up Clay was among a group of Nic's friend who I considered "big brothers". I have so many happy, humerous and caring memories of him and just smile remembering how great he treated me - even if I was just trying to tag along.
His smiles never ceased, his laughs were always contagious, and he had a unique ability to make anyone feel welcome, loved and cared-for simply through being himself.
Hearing of his loss immediately made me sad, not for what he didn't accomplish...

I knew Clay for a long time while growing up in Mckinleyville. I am happy that I got to know him personally and for the time that we spent hanging out and playing youth sports together. Clay was a guy that somehow had the ability to always bring a smile to my face.

I will miss you.
