Clayton Kellum Jr. was an extraordinary young man who touched and inspired every person he met. His warmth, kindness, and encouragement lifted others daily. He was a wonderful son, brother, and friend always ready to help and bring light wherever he went.

His passing is an unimaginable loss to so many of us, but most deeply to his loving parents, Clayton Sr. and Candise. As they face the heartbreaking loss of their firstborn son, we want to surround them with love, strength, and tangible support.

Because of out-of-state logistics and travel, the family is navigating unexpected expenses as they bring Clayton Jr. home and plan to honor his memory. Your contribution, no matter the size, will help ease that burden and allow them to focus on healing and being together.

No parent should ever have to walk through the loss of their child alone. If you feel moved to help, please consider making a donation or sharing this fundraiser so we can together lift up Clayton Sr and Candise in this time of unimaginable sorrow.

A Parent’s Love

You were my first light, my morning sun,

The dream I held before you’d come.

Now stars will keep your gentle face,

While I hold your love in every place.

Though time may dull this aching part,

You’ll live forever in my heart.
