CLAYTON WELSH Obituary

Clayton Joseph (Boomer) Welsh, 19, Prairie Village, Kan., passed away far too early August 23, 2013. Boomer was beloved by all and was never happier than when surrounded by his friends and playing pick-up basketball, golf, or forming and playing in fantasy sports leagues. He was a huge Royals, Chiefs, Jayhawks and closet Sooner fan, and was a fixture tailgating at Arrowhead and the K. Boomer graduated from Shawnee Mission East and attended KU, where he was a Phi Psi. Clayton is survived by his parents, Susan and Cleve, his stepmom, Pam, his brother, Cap, his grandparents, Jane and Stan, numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and a smile that no one ever will forget. In lieu of flowers the family requests memorial contributions be made to Kids Across America, PO Box 930, Branson, MO 65615. Funeral services will be at 1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 31, at Christ Church Anglican, 5500 W. 91st St., Overland Park, KS 66207. Arr.: Signature Funerals, 8019 State Line Rd., KCMO 64114 (816) 214- 5174. www.signaturefunerals.com Signature Funerals; honoring life; honoring death. 8019 State Line Road, Kansas City, MO 64114 (816) 214-5174

Boomer,

I was in utter shock and disbelief when I heard of your passing. I remember when I used babysit you and when you were younger. You were such a sweet, gentle, handsome young man and I feel so blessed to have been a part of your life for the short while that I did. I pray that your family finds peace and is able to celebrate your life as I'm sure you would want them to do and that you look down on them and help them through this tough time. Rest in peace sweet Boomer.
