David's career with SP Industries, formerly The Hull Corporation, spanned an impressive 51 years, during which he traveled the world and made lasting connections. Despite his global adventures, his heart was always with his family, whom he cherished deeply.
He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Harriet. Together, they built a life centered on love, faith, and family.
David was the loving father of Susan Clayton Fellenz (Nickolas Fellenz) and David Clayton, Jr., (Bernadette Clayton) and the proud and adored "Pop-Pop" to Tiffany Fellenz, Brianne Clayton (Thomas Friedman), Shannan Clayton, Mollie Kate Clayton, and Sean David Clayton.
His wisdom, humor, and unwavering support will be dearly missed but forever remembered by all who knew and loved him. David Charles Clayton, Sr. leaves behind a legacy of faith, love, and dedication that will continue to inspire those who were blessed to know him.
