I will never forget you Coach! Seeing you on the sidelines at football games coaching and supporting your kids always made me smile. Win or lose you were a fixture! You rocked the neatest Afros and high waisted pants like no one else could or ever will! You will be missed!

Today I can not find a word that accurately express the pain and sorrow I personally feel. The word of God says in Matthew 5:4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. The lost of Mr. John L. Coach Clayton, Sr. has touched me and so many others deeply. He was a father figure, mentor, counselor and true friend. Mrs. Rose Clayton and the Clayton entire family you are in my prayers and thoughts. Please know I am here for your family just a mere phone call away.
