Clayton Rider Sr. Obituary
Clayton influenced many lives during his career as a high school math teacher and head of the mathematics department at Eastern High School in Lansing, Michigan after getting his Bachelor's Degree in Education from Michigan State University. When he wasn't in the classroom, Clayton enjoyed spending time on the water sailing, fixing cars, and riding motorcycles.
Clayton now joins his father and mother, Ovid and Doris Rider, along with his siblings, Jeanette Neeley, Denis Rider, and Carol Rider, and bonus family member, Hermogenes Tanguan, in eternal peace. Clayton is survived by his loving family: brother, Jim Rider of Hudson, Florida, his children, Clayton (Mary) Rider Jr of Okemos, Michigan and Nancy Rider of Burlington, Massachusetts, his grandchildren, Frankie Rider, John Rider, Paul Rider, Alyssa Rider, Ted Klesaris, Eleni Klesaris, Steven Klesaris, and Emily Klesaris, his two great grandchildren, as well as his bonus family members Lorena Tanguan, Mary Joy Tanguan, Melody Tanguan, Micole Tanguan and Exekiel Joy Tanguan. He also leaves behind a loving community of cousins, nieces, nephews and family friends that will miss his many jokes and kind spirit.
Plans for a celebration of life event will be announced at a later time.
