Clayton was a voracious reader and retained much of what he read. His favorite subjects were science and ancient history. He also played video games with people all over the world. He taught himself computer coding and he, along with a couple of friends from England, and Tennessee, built some additions to a "share ware" game.

Clayton is survived by his parents of Wolsey, his sister Melanie (Cody) Laird of Sioux Falls, and his nephew and niece, Tyler and Natalie.

Preceding him in death were his grandparents Ed and Gen Kahre, Fred and Ardess Kohlmeyer, and his uncles, Tim and Kevin Kahre.
