In 1975, Clay went on a mission to Fukuoka, Japan where he served a two-year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He served his Heavenly Father with many church callings over his life time. He took his callings seriously and loved each and everyone of them. There was nothing more important to him than the love for his Heavenly Father, and his family. He has two beautiful granddaughters that he loves and adores. They will miss him greatly.

He received a college scholarship and went to BYU.  Shortly thereafter, he started in the insurance business.  He has been involved with insurance and related programs for more than 40 years.  Clay’s company, Schaat Enterprises, LLC, kept him very busy.

He was not much for hobbies or idle times.  He worked very hard throughout his career and right up till his passing.   His knowledge of business and insurance was vast.  He absolutely loved what he did.

His family loves him dearly and will miss his sense of humor and big heart. He wanted to give and serve more than anything else in life.
