First, Condolences to the family. I know Klay from him working with my daughter at Lowes. Taylor introduced Klay to me while I was getting some plants. Then I had just seen him about a week before he passed. Klay, Taylor and another employee were just finishing loading up some mulch for a customer and they all took a few moments to themselves when I walked up. They were all laughing and smiling. Taylor introduced him to me again and they were talking to me about MMA and a matching coming up that her and I would be attending. Klay was a really good young man, always had a smile and he had this brightness when you looked at him. He was humble, kind, a future planned out and a light that shined bright when you looked at him. I never heard anything negative about this young man only that he was a lot of fun at work for my daughter and other's to be around. Taylor and Klay were supposed to work together the next morning when she had told me that he had passed. Klay was a good friend to my daughter and with his fellow workers. He was only her for a short time but made an impression on us. He will be missed and remembered. You raised a fine young man. May the Lord God Almighty send some Angel's to help with the heartache and sorrow to all who knew and loved Klay.
