David Clay Obituary
David was born on November 12,1999 at Northeast Medical Center in Concord, NC to Mother Amber Ridgell Clay and Father Michael Alan Clay.
David was an extremely kind and generous soul. The kind of person who could make you smile on the darkest days. He was an avid gamer and fantasy sports player. David also enjoyed building electronics and working on his various cars with his Uncle.
He had a quiet peaceful demeanor and he didn't like conflict. Instead he was funny with his sharp wit and sarcastic humor. His light and laughter will truly be missed.
He is survived by his "Amah"(Mother) Amber Ridgell Clay, Step-Father David Tallent. Father Michael Alan Clay, Step-Mother Rebecca Morris Clay. Grandma Gail Ferguson Speight. Step grandfather Johnny Speight. Grandfather Henry Lee Clay. Aunt Elizabeth Harwood Boan, Uncle Eric Boan, Aunt Jennifer Clay Altman, Mark Altman, Uncle Christopher Ridgell, Aunt Jennifer Hill Ridgell, Aunt Michelle Tallent, Uncle Doug Harwood, Step-sisters Ellisa and Caylie Tallent, Step-brothers Avery and Brendan Haines. His cousins, Taylor Boan, Codi and Anthony Sheffield, Landon and Kamden Ridgell. Stacy and Trey Griffin.

David, you will be forever missed! My fondest memories with you, when you were little...just a wee tot...you loved Bob The Builder and Thomas The Train! When you got mad at the smallest something, I would asked "can we fix it"? You would say, "No we can´t " and look at me all mad. Not even a few seconds later, we were laughing and playing together again! Uncle Doug will always carry you with him! You will be truly missed but always loved!
