Bug!
I miss you so much you have no idea!  You completely turned my life upside down and I wish I could thank you for it.  I still remember the day you awkwardly came up to me with a box of chocolates and said “These are for you”.  I gave you a hug and walked straight to Kat and said “I don’t know his name!!!”
I’m so thankful that I was the girl Clayton chose to give chocolates to on Valentines Day.  I will never forget it.  I wish we had more time.  Maybe we could have become something. I don’t know.  I just miss you and your laugh, your Jokes, you, I miss you.  I love you Clayton, with all of me. I love you so much it hurts.  I only wish I got to tell you how much.  I will always love and miss you.
                       Love,  Bailey S

Clayton,
I am so glad that your Grandma Di and I became friends (inside joke) and starting doing things together. It gave me the chance to stay at your house and get to know you better. You were always smiling and so polite. I remember the time that you and your friends wrapped 400 forks, knives, spoons in napkins and tied them with a bow for my Church's Thanksgiving Dinner. For some reason you kept trying to get out of doing it by saying you didn't know how and that yours weren't coming out very good, then your Grandma Di told you to watch her again and you did a great job finishing them all up. I was actually surprised that you and your friends tied all 400 of them, that just shows how sweet you all are. You were truly a one of a kind teenager, and that hair of yours was gorgeous! I used to tell your Grandma Di what a sweet boy you were. I am going to really miss not seeing you when I spend the night at your house. Clayton I know you are in a much more beautiful place in Heaven. I also know you like to play pranks and so does Bill, so please take it easy on us down here. Love you, Clayton.
Aunt Paula

Clayton, you were always such an amazing friend (brother) to my Logan. I thank you so much for keeping him laughing and always being there for him. You will be missed. RIP Clayton, see you someday in heaven. 

Dear Sara,

I’ve enjoyed all the memories you’ve shared via fb about Claytons life. It really is like we all enjoyed watching him grow into a handsome, gifted, & hilarious young man. On a personal note you’ve always been a great friend to reach out to when at times I struggled being a single mom. I know how much you love and care for your family. I admire you sharing Claytons story to help us all be more aware of signs and things your children go through. My very deepest condolences go out to you and ALL of Claytons family. 

Clayton,

I remember when I met you in the 3rd grade and I immediately considered him one of my best friends. He had such a huge impact on my life and he made it better and better every single day. The amount of memories I have with you are countless because pretty much every day with you was a memory. They were all great from the time we had wood chip wars on the playground in elementary school to the recent stargazing trips that we would have together. All of the memories we created were amazing and I cherish them every day because you made them great. You were such a big part of my life and I miss you so much. I will always miss you no matter what. There are so many things that I wish I could’ve said to you and things that I still want to say to you. Those things will never leave my mind and the thought of you will never leave me either. You will always be in my heart and even though I have four other siblings, I considered you as my brother and I will continue to do so. I love you so much and I always will no matter what Claydo. Thank you for the memories we created and the good times we had together. I hope you rest easy now my friend. 

A few days after Clayton gave me chocolates on Valentine’s Day, we were having one of our first real conversations, and it was after lunch,  we all were passing these yellow pillars, when I say “man I’m still hungry” and Clayton being the awkward, corky guy he is, said “you could eat that pole.” We both awkwardly laugh it off, but it is still a fond story that comes up between friends to this day. Love ya bug, you little goof

Bug,

I can't put into words the debilitating pain I am in. But it's only because I loved you so much and was completely obsessed with you. I was a young mom when I had you, so we grew up together. I might have progressed a little slower, but I eventually caught up. :) You taught me so much, and inspired me to want to be a better person. I would watch how you truly loved everyone that was in your life and even those that weren't. Your ability to quickly forgive was a beautiful quality about you. You never judged anyone and considered all human life equal. I looked up to you more than you know. I have so many memories of you growing up. I will hold to them and cherish every second I had with you. Life will never be the same buggy, you are beyond missed. I love you so much son. You are my hero baby..




Clayton, you were deeply loved by your family, only God knows you completely and I trust he brought you back to him to be in peace and fulfill the true blessings he has in store for you. You’re an angel and son of the almighty and I know will help guide all of your family  to a greater destination . I know you are now at peace- much love and peace to all of our family, your mom Sara & your brother.  Love DeAnne 💙❤️

Clayton,
Your smile was the best! Katilina would always tell me all the silly things they did to you at school. I watched the video of you wiping her windshield with your clean shirt. She was like “mommy Clayton cleaned my car”.  Her car currently has your hand print on it. 
You were her best friend and we really loved having you over. Even my son Ashton loved poking fun at you.  Last wonderful time spent with you was at Clovis Night Out. 
They sure loved you Clayton! You were the first boy to sleep over on my couch and I kept getting up to check on you all, along with all the others camping out. Every time y’all come over I would tell you to eat my ice cream, save me from the calories. 
I was super excited to see you in Curtains and the night of meeting I asked you if you were ready. Because I know Katilina and others convinced you to stay in drama. You smiled and said Yes! I will never forget that I canning beautiful smile!
 You are now a beautiful Angel watching over all your friends and those lives you touched! My house won’t be the same without you kiddo! Huge hugs as you dance in Heaven! Thank you for being Katilina’s best friends and filling our home with lots of fun memories. Rest In Peace Clayton! 

Dear Clayton,

Your family has done an amazing job in bringing you up, and I extend my sincerest condolences to them. You were one of the most polite and calm students I have ever had. You always were a true gentleman, with an air of elegance about you, that very few carry. 

For two years both in and out of German class, I had the honor of observing what a close and true friend you were to Logan, Cristoph(er), Stephan, and Cole. My heart aches for them now, and now I understand and value friendship even more. 

Last year when you asked to be my TA, I was truly honored. When a student „chooses“ a teacher it means we must have done something right that has resonated with that one young person, amongst the many, many mistakes we know we’ve made along the way.

I was so happy for you last spring as you readied for your show, “Sugar”. When we spoke, I could tell that you were excited about this new adventure . . . and of course, you were amazing! And after the show, when I came to congratulate you, you were so humble.

 I am grateful for the lessons I have learned through you and your life. Thank you for sharing, Clayton. I pray that you thrive in a very special place in heaven!

With a heavy heart,
Frau Brand

Clayton,  you were the the first person to ever call me “uncle David.”  You were like a little brother to me though we grew apart over time my love for you has never dwindled. Even if u held the controller weird when you play fortnite. I love you clay.

Clayton you were a amazing brother I will miss you so much I will miss the times we wrestled a an boxed in the living room and when I scared you every time you got out of the bathroom and when me slammed each other in the pool and when you learned how to do a backflip on the trampoline at my house and when me you mom and Derek went on hikes and took pictures and when we went to the ocean every year with the family I could name a million more memories but I would have enough space I love you with all my heart Rest In Peace homosexually and I’m not a midget

I remember not having any friends during 6th grade, I felt so lonely until clayton and his friends let me hangout during recess with them.There was a sandbox that is very special too me because it's where we made our eraser figurines and would bury it.I still remember when we said we would meet here on the last day of our senior year once again and uncover the items.You mean a lot to me, you were one of my only friends that year and it means a lot, I wish I was there for you when you needed it most. I'm not a religious man but I know your in a better place.

Clay-tonn, I am so grieved that you aren't here any more. I miss you more than you could know. You were always so respectful and were always welcome in our home. I loved seeing you playing around with Stephen, Chris, and Logan. I am comforted that you know Jesus and that we will meet again in God's Presence. Until that day, my heart grieves that you had to leave us so soon.

Clayton was not only a best friend or a neighbor to me, he was a brother. There’s too many memories for me to pick one favorite. From going across the street to swing on the swings to talk at night, barging into his room randomly to tell him about my day, or the mini vacations we had, clayton was always by my side. Sophomore year, he went to formal with me just because he didn’t want me to be alone, and signed a ‘contract’ to promise he’d be there with me. i loved, and will continue to, always love him. Rest in peace, i miss you..

Clayton, you were such a wonderful soul. A great man to be around and always chipper along these many years I’ve known you. Thoughts and pleasant memories I have of you will never be forgotten. The ability to make anyone smile and feel loved was a gift that was given to you. I believe that was my favorite part about you; spreading your affection and adorable personality to all that you saw. Clayton, your radiance and love will be missed. We all care for you so much; too much for words. Rest Easy. 

Clayton Christopher,  I don't even know where to begin. It's so hard to put into words how much someone actually meant to you.
The day you came into my life was a blessing. Here was this beautiful little blonde-haired boy with the sweetest smile and most adorable voice.  From that day on...I knew that I would love you unconditionally. 
You were the first to ever call be "TT", because it was easier than saying aunt. I never knew how much two letters could mean to me. 
I loved being able to watch you grow throughout the years and see the exceptional young man that you were becoming. My heart aches that we won't be able to see where life takes you, but I am so exceptionally lucky that I was able to be a small part of your 17 years. 
Until I get to see you again. I love you....TT.

I can remember when Chris was in the 3rd grade (Mickey Cox) he came home from School and said he met a new Friend!  His name was Clayton. He said he was a nice Boy!  They clicked right away and have been close Friends ever since!  They had so much in common it was amazing!  Clayton you were such a big part of Christopher’s life!  He loved you like a Brother!  You had your routine of meeting each other in the morning before school to hang out!  He enjoyed going to your house and hanging out with your Family and feeling always welcomed!  This hurts my heart that you are no longer with us. He is going to miss you tremendously!  Just know you will NEVER be forgotten!  RIP

Dear Clay,
 I can't express in words how much pain I'm in right now. You were my bestfriend, my hero. I have always looked up to you Clayton. The mind set you had, blew me away. The heart of gold you had, just made me fall in love with you. The minute you came into my life, I wanted to be more like you. I wish you were still here with us today. I still feel like I'm in the worst nightmare and I just wanna wake up. I will never forget all the special times we had together. You always made me laugh and smile. I loved watching you play your vidoe games, you were the best! I loved coming to your shows and choir performance you brighted my day everytime. My heart aches so much now. I'll never be able to see you do any of that again. Thank you for all the beautiful moments we had together. I love you Cayton Christopher Podergois, RIP my little man! See you soon!

Clayton. You were truly the most amazing person and first boyfriend I could’ve ever asked for. Thank you for putting up with my weirdness and loving me even when I wasn’t feeling like I loved myself. You would brighten up my day and make me feel so special. I loved you so much and will love you forever. I’m so sad to say goodbye like this. Although we weren’t together when you passed, I still loved you. The thought of living in a world without you hurts my heart. To not see your smile or see you laughing anymore is not something I thought I had to deal with so soon. Clayton I will miss you forever. I will miss making jokes with you and laughing at things together that only you and I would understand. I will miss your warm hands and perfect smile. I will miss your sweet kisses and hugs that I could stay in forever. You called me beautiful and gorgeous so much it made me actually believe it. I hope you knew you were loved by many and created a lot of smiles and I hope you now have the happiness that you gave me and everyone around you. I can’t wait to see you in heaven my love... but it will never be soon enough. I love you so much. I will never forget the moments we had together and I will never forget you. Rest in peace Clayton. 

Precious Clayton
The day you were born we fell in love with you.  You soon became the chubbiest little baby with cheeks so chubby we thought they would burst.  We still loved to kiss them everyday.  We have so many beautiful memories of your childhood that we will treasure forever.
You grew up to be such an amazing young man. So handsome, strong (thanks to GB3  5 days a week), and so smart (straight A student).  We never had to ask you to study or do your homework you just were always so very responsible and respectful.
Your life changed the day you got involved with the Clovis  High Choir thanks to encouragement from your talented friends.  You began singing in the shower and there was music everywhere.  Teaching yourself to play the guitar and keyboard. We were amazed when our shy, quiet boy started singing and dancing onstage in the Clovis High production of “Sugar”.
You soon started driving and we were nervous wrecks while you were learning to drive but were happy when we no longer had to shuttle you around town.  Not sure if you knew we had a GPS locator on your car and we were pleased that you where always where you said you were going and always home on time.
Thank you for being so sweet and kind. You always thanked us even for the smallest of things.  We will miss the “I love you”s that you shared throughout the day. You always showed such a deep love for us, your family and friends.
We can’t believe you are gone.  Our hearts ache with profound grief.  We pray that you are happy and at peace and that we will see you again soon in Heaven.
We love you with all our hearts.
Papa Doug and Grandma DiDi



You were the first one to ever call me grandma 
Which always made me so proud..
You always showed me love and care 
Being with you I always new I was loved even though you told me all the time 
You never had to say a word and I knew I felt loved by you. As I always have said your the most amazing 17 yr old I have ever been around. I love you and need you Clayton more then you will ever know.
To try to write about one memory is so hard when I have so many memories flooding my mind and each one so important is the hardest thing to do 
I have tried to write at least 100 times and no words in the vocabulary can express how I feel about you 
I will carry you in my heart for the rest of my life 
I pray you have found what your heart longed for and the  joy your life gave me 
I will say a few memories that mean the most to me... I love you Grandma DeeDee and the Genuine love I felt every time you said it.
When you would stay the night and I would set up  a bed in the living room for me, you and Carson to have a slumber party and made tents and you would choose to stay in the room with Richard. Always made me smile. 
The time you danced in the living room with Addi for way longer then you had to, the twirling around you did for her and listening to how much she loved you .
The laugh you gave when you found out it was her telling you you could stay out later then you said you were going to be.
The calls you gave making sure I knew where you were and that you were safe 
Clayton I LOVE YOU NOW I LOVE YOU FOREVER 
THIS IS NOT GOODBYE MY PRECIOUS CLAYTON BUT UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN 
Grandma Dee Dee 


I first met Clayton in fifth grade and ever since then we had been very close friends. Whether it was staying up late playing video games eating our favorite candies or sitting in class together drawing stupid pictures, we always had a great time together. We knew exactly what we liked and how to push each other’s buttons, and it stayed that way right up until the very end. There is so much I wish I could’ve have told him, but I’m sure he already knew what I would say. We goofed around, we had stupid arguments, and we appreciated each other. I will miss him every day, but I know that he’s happy now and singing with the angels. Until we meet again Clayton. 

Clay-it was an honor to be your Aunt. I loved you from the time you were born and will never forget holding you in my arms. Your cousins adore you and you all shared such a special bond. Thank you for being such a great kid and giving us 17 of the best years of our life. We have so many great memories as a family. We just aren’t ready to say goodbye. I hope Heaven is everything you imagined and more. We love you so much💙💙💙💙

I met Clayton in 7th Grade he was a kid who was kind and was always happy no matter what. He always brightened my day and was an incredible person. I last saw Clayton on Thursday and said see you tomorrow not knowing it would be the last time I would see him.  In life he sang with his friends and now he is singing with angels. He was a true friend and will never be forgotten.  He will be in the memories of his fellow Clovis High Cougars. For now and evermore.  

I had a birthday a few years ago and Christopher, Clayton, and I saw Hardcore Henry and we walked from Christopher’s house to mine and that 20 minute walk we just talked and joked and we had an amazing time and I still hold on to that memory. I will never forget him and what he has done for everyone, he made a huge impact on so many people. Rest In Peace Clay, we will miss you and we still love you

There are too many memories of us to only pick one. From our jokes about his bowl-cut in elementary school to our recent stargazing adventures Clay was my brother. We cherished a lot of times together and rarely had disputes, and if we did they’re dumb and sarcastic. He will always be in my heart and I can’t express or fathom the sadnessI feel, but I know he’s living a better life. I love you, Clay. 

I remember Clayton as a little boy such the cutest little boy ever and as he grew he became sooo handsome!!! I always remember running into his mom with him around and how polite and sweet of boy he was and his smile could light up a entire room !! As I would follow up on his moms Facebook about Clayton and Carson I admired them both and was so proud to see what a amazing person he will always be!!! Rip you were loved by so many !!!! Never forgotten ❤️

Clayton you were such a sweet and handsome young man. You are now flying high with the angels! You will truly be missed. ❤❤❤❤

Clayton was always so loving and accepting of little Brooklyn.  She ALWAYS wanted to see Clayton and just be around him.  I will always remember his quiet and calm presence.  Clayton, you are missed so so much. 

Clayton was one of my best group mates I had at CART. He was funny, hard working, and was always there for us when we needed him. When we presented our project we had so much fun showing our teachers what we had created and the smile on his face will always be the best moment I ever had with Clayton. Sadly he had left before we had gone on our last field trip as a class and to be honest it felt different without him and the many people who had dropped the class. However, Clayton was and will always be the best friend anyone could ask for.
