Clay Williamson Obituary

Clay Williamson
January 10, 1958 - January 17, 2026
Clay Allan Williamson passed away peacefully from natural causes on January 17, 2026, in Wasilla, Alaska. He was born on January 10, 1958, in Moreno, Arizona. Clay was a beloved son of Rex Williamson and Arlene Denny (Hill), a devoted father to Brad Williamson, and a proud and adoring grandfather to Charlotte Williamson. He was also a cherished brother to David Williamson, Chryl Ussery, Shari Irvin, and April Denny, and a loving stepson to Doug Denny.
Clay spent his early years in Arizona and Virginia, experiences that shaped a life rooted in service and dedication. He proudly served in the United States Air Force for 20 years as a crew chief, carrying out his duties with honor, commitment, and integrity.
After retiring from the Air Force, Clay earned a degree in accounting from the University of Alaska and went on to a fulfilling second career with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, where he retired as an accountant.
Outside of his professional life, Clay enjoyed model building, working on cars, fishing, and spending time outdoors. He also took comfort in the companionship of his pets, Sky and Wolfie, who were part of his daily life.
In his later years, Clay was supported and cared for by friends Wendee, Natasha, and Tony, whose kindness and dedication were deeply appreciated by both Clay and his family.
Clay will be remembered for his strong work ethic, steady nature, and quiet devotion to the people in his life. He leaves behind a legacy of service and perseverance and will be deeply missed by his family and all who loved him.
