Too many memories to mention I will carry with me. I will miss you not being on this earth. I will miss time lost. I will miss your sense of humor and big smile.
Thank you Clay for your love and friendship in my life. I will not forget you. You are a wise, special soul.
To Clays family, condolences. Be strong. Love Julie
So sorry for your loss! Knew him as a younger growing up when Sharon,carol, and Libby were such good friends. Clay was always so sweet and polite. I loved him. I know you will always miss him,but he will always be in your heart.
I will love and miss you forever
looking back at all those pictures brings back many memories of growing up as family in the same neighborhood so sorry you will be missed love Myra and Chris.
I worked with Clay for a few years. He gave me one of my best pets & friends, Peanut Butter, a part Maine Coon kitten. I’ve always been so grateful for that gift, he was with me nearly 19 yrs. Prayers for Clay & family.
The few times I saw Clay, he was a such a classy person and a complete gentleman, and I’m sorry that I didn’t get to know him better. I’m so sorry for his loss. I’m a month older than he, and seems like our KBS members are getting smaller. I love the video y’all made, it’s really good
RIP Clay tell we meet again
Love Cheryl and Stanley
Rest in Peace Clay. To the family, you have our deepest sympathy. We go way back, growing up in same neighborhood. Clay you were a kind and good man.
My friend!! One of the best friends anyone could have!
The best dance partner ever!
I will miss my friend dearly!
To the family – Libby and Patti, early childhood friends of the family. He was a gentle giant with a huge heart of gold! We met up years ago and became close dance partners! He floated on air!
Until we meet again my sweet friend! Save a dance for me!
🙏❤️🌹
My friend since middle school. We lost touch for years but reconnected 4 years ago and met at the casino. We had many weeks teaching my son Emilio to work on his old Chevy truck. We had nice lunches out and dinners at my house. You were so sweet and respectful. You will be missed. Love you bunches 💗
I had known Clay for a very long time! He worked for my husband at Chris’ Lift Truck and became one of our family really quick! Such a sweet generous guy who never met a stranger! Clay was well loved by so many! He will always be a cherished memory! He mentored my children for years. I was so surprised to hear he was sick and then taken so soon! They say God takes the good ones first! You were definitely “a good one” Clay! Hope you and Chris can now reminisce all the fun times and many years y’all had together! Tell Chris hello for me and I await my time in seeing you and him soon! Love ya Clayhead! You will be sadly missed but never forgotten!!!!
I met Clay within the past six months as he worked with my husband at his forklift repair business. He was always sweet and kind, loved my dogs, and was a great friend to my husband. He is missed dearly and we send our love and prayers to his family.
First of all, I want to say, I would have not thought this would come so soon and it’s so hard for me to deal with the loss of my Uncle Bud. My uncle was a real big part of my life as I was growing up and for my sister, Stacey, as the people who knew my uncle he had no kids and me and my sister were like his kids. He taught me a lot about mechanic work I was always helping him from when I was a little boy and always asking a lot of questions how to do things. I want him to look down and see I still live by his rules as time moves forward and that I love and miss him every day but last of all, I can hear my uncle telling me that he’s OK and for me to do what he ask of me. I miss him so very much. May he rest in peace .❤️
My Uncle Buddy my Big Strong Uncle Bud my Father Figure my Big Brother my Mechanic (one of the best) and my Hero more than just an Uncle all wrapped up in one. Through the years you have always explain things to me so I would understand how things work I remember when I got my driver’s license you made me change a flat tire in front of you before you let me go out on the road and that’s why I love you so much I can’t believe you’re going already 4 weeks after you get diagnosed you passed away on my birthday now you’re supposed to be my guardian angel for life I hope it’s all true and I hope you’re with MawMaw and I love you with every fiber of my Being I will miss you Uncle Buddy ❤️
Bud, I would have never thought you would be taken from us so soon. The DEVIL (cancer) never gave you a chance to fight. I miss you so much. Only knowing you’re not in any pain gives me comfort. I will forever treasure the LAST month of your life spending every single day with you,me and Libby. FLY HIGH MY MOST LOVING BROTHER(BUD)❤️
Bud through out our lives we were never close close but if we ever needed either one we were there. Never in my dreams would I have thought this DEVIL (cancer) would take you so soon. I’m so thankful that you came and stayed with Chester and I the last month of your life. I will forever treasure that time we had together. Brought us close to one another. The nights spent with you watching TV was a blessing. You getting to know our grandchildren meant the world to us. I will forever MISS you. I still wait for you to call my name and scare me half to death. Knowing you are not suffering eases the emptiness I have. So FLY HIGH MY BUD❤️
Oh how I miss you Bud, I didn’t see or talk to you everyday but I always knew you were there and now you’re not but I know you are not suffering anymore. You are now with our beloved mother who you so deeply loved and missed. Rest In Peace my Bud.
Clay you always went out of your way to come talk to me when I would pull up at Professional, and took time to help me if my car needed anything fixed. You were a hard worker and a animal lover…you will be missed!
