Clayton Perry Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 13, 2017.
Clayton Bartholomew Perry, 29, of Clay Township in Bartholomew County, Columbus, IN passed peacefully on October 11, 2017. He lived every day to the fullest, was not afraid of an adventure, or to question anyone or anything at all. He is a soul who truly loved people unconditionally. Clayton enjoyed writing, playing music, studying science, spending time with his friends, working with computers, taking road trips and traveling around the mountains. Clayton is loved by his father, Rick Perry, his mother, Kim Tarr-Perry, both of their extensive families, his sister, Maggie, and will be missed by everyone he met. A viewing service will be held from 4-8pm on Sunday October 15, 2017 at Myers-Reed Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, memorials in Clayton's name can be made to the charity of your choice. Clayton's inquisitive nature persisted in believing the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson, "All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make, the better."

Myers-Reed chapel is serving the Perry family.

It is impossible to think on my childhood and not think of Clayton. Trampling through the woods, climbing trees, in and out of the back screen door, using our imaginations... life was simple, carefree, and joyous. How fortunate am I to have known you, Clayton. Thanks for the adventures. Thanks for letting me come over whenever. I love you. Your eternal well wisher and friend, Kurt.
