Our family is heartbroken and shattered by the loss of Clayton, my 22-year-old nephew. Clayton was our ginger, known for his beautiful red hair and the boundless energy he brought into every room. He had a giving heart and was always the first to help a friend in need. Tragically, while helping a friend who was in trouble, Clayton was shot and killed. His selflessness and kindness touched everyone who knew him, and his absence leaves a void that can never be filled.

Clayton’s passing has left my brother facing unexpected funeral expenses. Many folks have asked how they can help and the immediate challenge is planning the funeral. Any help we can provide him to help relieve some stress as he navigates this incredibly difficult time would be greatly appreciate.
