Wished I had sent my condolaences earlier, but Clayton and I went to school together, and he was always crack jokes and all of that, he had a great sense of humor and that was a great quality he had. To everyone in his family,I am so sorry for your loss. RIP buddy

my deepest condolences to Pam and Jeff they are truly amazing people who took me in and cared for me as one of their own. Clayton was a beautiful soul he helped me more then he knows when we first got together I was going down a wrong path and about to quit school but he inspired me everyday to go to school and get an education and instead of dropping out I ended up graduating with honors I am forever grateful to this entire family. Which is what makes this loss such a big one I don't think they know how much of a positive impact each of them had on my life. Just remember eventually we will all be reunited in heaven. all my love to this amazing family.

Clayton and I had some of the most amazing memories of my entire childhood. Pam and Jeff, I love you both and always have. The Dawson family was always nothing but warm, and truly wonderful to me when I was a guest in their amazing home. Although Clayton and I parted ways many years ago, the time we had spent together for so many years prior, will stay with me forever more. Rest In Peace old friend. I wish things had gone different, more than you will ever know.
