I was so sad to learn of Clay's death. He and I grew up in the same neighborhood, were friends in the same LDS ward, and went to Homecoming together our sophomore year. He was always so kind, and he left a wonderful family who adored him. Clay died of a massive heart attack while playing a game of basketball.

Quite a man! I have great thoughts of Clay. It looks like he went out of this world doing what he loved to do. Thanks for adding the info telling us the rest of the story. Thanks Janine for your post.

I had not known before now of Clay's death. He was a good friend in high school and an exceptional athlete. I had no real interaction with him after high school but am saddened to hear of his passing. What a great legacy he left of and for his family.
