Jeffrey "Clay" Bond

Tom,Sally,Tom III, I can't imagine the world without J.Clay but it is definately a better place having been his friend. Rest in peace my brother.

We will always remember Clay as a kind and loving person. When he came to Minnesota to be in Tom and Jen's wedding and again to be Parker's Godfather at the babtism. He left a great impression on us all that we will never forget. His phone calls to Tom and Jen just to say "Hi" and his talks with Parker and Ethan were so precious to us all. Clay was such a friendly and kind person and he will be remembered and missed dearly.God Bless the family.

Sally, Martha, Kristy, Tom and everyone: I couldn't believe the sad news when my parents/Kelly called to tell me. Over the years I have thought of Clay (and of you) often, and you have to know that my life was altered positively tohrough knowing him and knowing you....Mostly I'm sad because the knowledge of what Kelly USED to be like back you know when will now be lost almost altogether without him around...My best memories of growing up with my sister ALWAYS have parts of Clay woven in. His...

Sally and family,

I was so saddened to hear about your loaa of Clay. He was always so frienly and warm. Good memories of times past. My heart is with you as you all grieve this loss of a life so young and tender. May your friends and his friends sustain you at this time.

My heart goes out to your family. You are in my prayers. I have so many wonderful memories of times I spent with Clay that go back to childhood. I can still hear his laugh in my mind and see his eyes sparkle when I think of him. My daughters are also very fond of Clay or "putty" which was a nickname they came up with when they were very young. My entire family loved Clay as did most people who knew him. I've heard it said that "the candle that burns the brightest, goes out the...

Clay marched to the beat of his own drum. He once told me to "Hang Tuff", I can hear him saying it to his family and friends now. Please accept my deepest sympathies. Know that when you look back on this time, you'll only see one set of footprints in the sand.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family in your loss of Clay. Clay and I went to high school together and I haven't seen him in a long time. However, the last time that I saw him in St. Matthews, he did a wonderful thing that I will never forget.

I am so sorry for your loss, you all are in my prayers. I have many, wonderful childhood memories of running around the house in Countryside with Clay, he was always so sweet to me! We would always run into each other through the years, Clay always giving me a big hug, very happy to see me, always asking about my family and especially my brother Eric. We would exchange numbers, but not stay in touch. He was a wonderful guy!! I'll never forget those times, being young, running around...

Clay was my buddy. I can not begin to express what his friendship and understanding meant to me.
To his family: May the days ahead be peaceful and light. Clay cherished you all so much.
