My prayers are with the Parrish family. I am greatly saddened by the loss of Clay. He really made this world a better place.

My thoughts are with the Parrish Family.
I met Clay when I was in first grade at Pinecrest Elementary. He was a good friend. There are so many stories...

When I moved to Spain many years ago, we lost touch. I was thrilled when he reunited with the rest of my family.

Mango will be missed tremendously.

I was saddened to hear of the loss of Clay. Mango was a good friend growing up in Miami. Although I haven't seen Clay in years, I have very fond memories of Clay. Whenever we get together with old friends, you can count on some good Mango stories being told. Clay was one of a kind. He had a big heart and you could always count on him when needed. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

I was shocked & saddenned to hear of Clay's death. He was a fun-loving guy always willing to go the extra-mile to keep the party going. He was self-less & kind; someone who we all loved. I'll never forget the night at The Point when Barney returned Mango's lost hammer. You've never seen someone more appreciative - tears came to his eyes! Behind his "rough & tough" demeanor Clay was a softy. I recall one morning returning from Centurian's bridge, Mango discovered a wayward garbage can in the...

I was very shocked and saddend when I heard the news Saturday. It brought back a flood of memories from our school days. Clay was a great guy and a better friend. As Jimmy said: the stories we could tell...but won't! Please accept our heartfelt condolences from the entire East family.

Please accept my sympathy for your loss. Having moved to North Carolina years ago, I have not seen Clay in a long time. He was a great friend. We had some really good times together, and you could always count on Clay when in a bind. Lots of good memories coming to mind. Most of them our parents never found out about, and I will never tell. He was one of a kind and very special. He will be missed.

There are no words to express our feelings for all the family in the loss of our Clay. The Parrish and Mansfield families have been close for many years. To lose Clay hit us all very hard. But when you lose a son, there is such a hole left in a mother's soul.
Our love and sympathy are with all of you.
