Clayton had a zest for life and he loved being around his family. He loved his mother, father and sister tremendously and he loved his girlfriend of 11 months, Catti. He never met a stranger and had a contagious smile. He played football and his favorite team was the Atlanta Falcons. He also loved golf and he excelled at it. He loved church and was a member of the Methodist Youth Group. Clayton will be remembered as a big sweetheart who was spontaneous, intelligent and fun-loving.
