Clayton Levi Mullens

Clayton Levi Mullens age 22 of Brimfield, came into this crazy world so fast on Sept 3, 2000 as he couldn’t wait for the doctor to put on full gear for delivery and his dad almost had to deliver him. He came in fast and never slowed down Clayton. He was fast crawling, walking, fast on a bicycle, and on a basketball court. All he knew was FAST he even left this crazy world way too fast on April 8, 2023.

He was a loving son to Brian and Danielle Mullens of Bellevue, wonderful father to 8 month old Brooklyn Marie, and was blessed to have his girlfriend, the love of his life, Makayla Vicary of Elmwood Illinois. He was also a wonderful brother to Amiee (Corey) Dillingham of Bartonville Illinois, William (Emmie) Mullens of Bellevue Illinois, and Trinity (Gage Tuck) Mullens of Bellevue Illinois. He was also a wonderful uncle to Connor Lutes of Bellevue Illinois, and grandson of Sandie Crowe of Brimfield Illinois. Also surviving is his best friend partner in crime since second grade, Jason Eichhorn of Brimfield, and his uncles Mike (Amy) Mullens of West Peoria, Tracy Bussell of Chillicothe, Bryan (Cindy) Bussell of Pekin, step aunts, Cindy Crowe, Deanna Crowe and step uncle Tim Crowe. Also he has a strong bond from the moment he met with Craig Mitzeltfelt of Peoria, he thought highly and looked up to him.

He was also blessed with several cousins, and great aunts and great uncles.

Clayton is now in heaven with his grandma Linda and grandpa Dick Bussell, grandpa Tim Mullens, step grandpa Dan Crowe, and many other family and friends and above all Jesus.

Clayton loved anything that moved fast, his motorcycle his trucks even his guns.

He went to Mossville grade school for kindergarten and first grade. Then second to eighth grade at Norwood Elementary. He spend his first two years at Limestone High School then finished at Bureau Valley high school in Manilus Illinois where he graduated in 2019.

Clayton played basketball from second grade to eighth grade then took two years off. When he moved high schools he joined the basketball team and his senior year they made it to the elite 8.

Not sure what else to say as Clayton was Clayton, he made everyone laugh almost to the point they cried. And was so red in the face he also said stuff with a straight face while making us all laugh. There was never a dull moment when Clayton was around.

He loved playing the drums in Jr high and on the worship team at church.

Funeral services will be at 11Am Saturday, April 15, 2023 at the WhiteRose Fellowship at 505 S Main St. Bellevue. Visitation will be two hours prior to the services on Saturday at the fellowship hall. Pastor Shane House will officiate, he was his youth pastor from sixth grade through high school.

Clayton always wore blue jeans and t-shirts and baseball cap so we ask everyone not to dress up just be comfy, wear jeans, t-shirts and even a baseball cap.
