Thinking of you. Think about you all the time. Miss your voice, miss your words, miss your good heart, so much. Love you Bubba.

Claytie had so many fine qualities -- too many to mention, actually. But the first thing I think of when I think of him is his big bear hugs and his beaming smile. 

I am beyond devastated to hear about this loss. Clay was truly the big brother that I never had. We first met in treatment where we instantly became close friends and supported each others progress, growth, and recovery. He was always there for me no matter what. Shortly there after, we lived together and worked together at a group home for intellectually disabled people's in need of support. He helped me get the job and offered me a place to stay when I was down and out, sharing with me the gift of helping others. That job was an amazing experience for me. Just one of many reflections showing how big Clay's heart was. Clayton was easily among the funniest, kindest, caring people I've ever met. Always quick to selflessly help his friends anyway he could. I will always cherish the amazing memories we made, our time together and the love and inspiration he taught me. No more pain, Clay. Love you, brother.

Clayton even though you and I only crossed paths a handful of times .... you had this electrifying personality and such a kind soul ... we met through one of your best friends my little brother Jerry Tulini... for a long time you guys were  inseparable ... and now once again you are reunited again in the lords kingdom.... rest easy bud you will truly be missed 

Clayton, we have shared so many memories together. I remember the first time I saw you dancing in the gym at Medford Fitness and I knew I wanted you to be my personal trainer. We've been best friends ever since. That was 13 years ago. I looked up to you, you motivated me and you were a huge part of my life. We have done so much together but one of the best memories I have is working out shirtless and jacked as ever after hours at LA Fitness. Thank you for all that you taught me and gave me emotionally. I love you and will always. Rest well brother.

As I looked through old photos, we found pictures of Clayton and memories rushed through our hearts and minds.  We'll choose to remember our son's childhood friend and those precious times and I'll be in prayer for Clayton's family for God's comfort & peace.

Rest in Peace Clayton.
I will miss you and think of you every day.
What an incredible person you were. My deepest sympathy to  your family all of your friends who loved you as much as I did.
