I have many wonderful memories of Clayton, as I am sure everyone who knew Clayton does. My thoughts and prayers are with Clayton?s family, for they have lost a spouse, a father, a grandfather, and beloved family man. I am saddened, for I have lost a friend and fellow firefighter; everyone who knew Clayton has lost a wonderful man.
While I am saddened to learn of our loss, I have and will keep the wonderful memories I have of Clayton forever and know that I was blessed from our lives? path having crossed.
I,m very sorry for your loss. I will keep you all in my payrers.

Clayton was a wonderful man. He was like a second father to me when I was young. I remember one time Ruth and I went bike riding (when we were 12) and I wrecked, I tore my knee up pretty bad, Clayton cleaned it up and put a bandage on it for me. He was always so kind. He was loved by everyone and will be missed by all. Our hearts and our prayers go out to the family. If there is anything we can do please let us know. We will be keeping you all in our prayers.
OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU ALL, AND IF WE CAN DO ANYTHING TO HELP, PLEASE LET US KNOW. I REMEMBER WHEN THE CREW WAS FORMING IN 1985, CLAYTON WAS SO EXCITED WITH EVERY LITTLE BIT OF PRGRESS THAT WAS MADE, HE WAS TRULY INSTRUMENTAL IN ORGANIZING THE CREW AND WE ARE THAKFUL FOR OUR FOUNDING MEMBERS.
The members of the fire dept.would like to send the family of Clayton our condolences. We greatly appreciated Clayton as a firefighter, and a friend.If there's anything the members can do or say to the family in their time of sorrow, we'll be there.
