Clay was born in Kremmling, Colorado on February 27, 1957. He spent his childhood and adult life in the vicinity of Olathe, Colorado, where he graduated from Olathe High School in 1975. Clay was an avid outdoorsman, talented musician, and gifted woodworker. He constructed and played many musical instruments over the years, built numerous pieces of furniture, and hunted and fished the length and width of the Uncompahgre Valley. He was a free spirit and was happiest camping, hunting, fishing, or playing music with his friends. He enjoyed being around his family: swapping stories and eating. He will be greatly missed by those he left behind.
