James Clay

On April 5, 2023, James Lee Clay, affectionately known as Jim, passed from this world.
He was born on February 10, 1950, in Houston, Texas, and was a beloved husband,
brother, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend to many.

Jim obtained a degree in Chemical Engineering, but his true passion was for the great
outdoors. He spent countless hours fishing and riding ATVs, and he shared that love
with his children, grandchildren, and friends. Jim's love for trail riding was well known,
and he explored some of the most beautiful places in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Utah, and
the Colorado Rockies. He enjoyed camping and sitting around the campfire, gazing at
the stars with family and friends.

Jim's faith and church were an essential part of his life. He was an active member of his
church and volunteered his time and talents whenever possible, from the sound booth
to ushering and mowing the lawn. He had a deep love for his church family and was
always willing to lend a helping hand.

Jim will be remembered for his infectious smile, warm personality, and his zest for life.
He was a man who loved his family and friends fiercely and would go out of his way to
help anyone in need. His kind and generous nature touched the lives of many and left
an unforgettable mark on all who knew him.

Although Jim has left this earthly life, we know that he has gone to a better place where
there is no pain, tears or sorrow. He will now catch the biggest fish and ride the biggest
mountain in the presence of his Creator.

Jim will be deeply missed by his wife, children, grandchildren, extended family, and
friends. We take comfort in knowing that his spirit lives on and that we will always
cherish the memories of our time with him.

See you soon, Jim.
