After graduation from high school in Dallas, Clayton enlisted and served honorably in the United States Air Force during the 1960’s. He then met the love of his life, Carmen, and they were married on April 26, 1968. He was a wonderful dad, raising 3 loving children, Colin, Craig, and Christine, a loving father-in-law to Jennifer, Stacy, and Robert, a beloved “G-pa” to Taylor, Corissa, Shelby, Morgan, Kylie, Logan, and Kendall, and loving uncle to numerous nieces and nephews.
He was a member of St. Patrick Catholic Church and a faithful follower of Christ. He had many interests, including being a history buff, martial arts, ‘50’s rock ‘n roll and real country music, guns, and watching football, but his real passion was spending time with his family. He loved watching his kids and grandkids play sports and dance recitals through the years.
