On August 10 at his home with his family by his side, Clayton Smith passed away after a courageous fight with cancer. Clayton was born August 29, 1961 to Dennis and Joanne (Aller) Smith. He grew up in Chehalis alongside his two siblings, Dennis “Skip” Smith and Jeannie Allison.
Clayton graduated from W. F. West High School in 1979. He married his high school sweetheart, Bonnie Tomlinson in 1987. Together they had three children—Cody, Connor and Taylor.
Clayton loved football which was the incentive for his involvement with Twin City Youth Football. He began coaching his own sons’ teams and eventually became President and a Board member of the organization.
Clayton worked at Darigold for 25 years. He finished his career in sales at Brim Tractor.
Clayton loved trips to the beach with Bonnie and their pets and spending time with his children, but his grandson Brock became the light of his life.
A celebration of life will be held Saturday, August 24th starting at 2 p.m. at Jason Sauter’s residence – 548 Hwy 603, Chehalis. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Twin City Youth Football.
