This deer season, and all those that will follow, will be the toughest of my life. On April 27 of this year, my son and best friend went Home with his loving wife and family by his side.
He was 26-years old and had courageously battled cancer for the last 1 1/2 years. Clay was a wonderful son, devoted husband and simply lived for the outdoors. We spent every free moment together on the lake, at the deer lease or just enjoying God's great creations.
Every man should have the honor to be a father to a son like Clay, who was the most joyful, giving, appreciate human being most will have ever met. Not once did he ask "why me", despite his body being ravaged and taking away so much that he enjoyed.
He was also a great teacher. I was not even close to being a complete man until Clay came into my life. He taught me to only give, never take. He taught me to have compassion, not turn a blind eye. Mostly, he taught me to enjoy life's simple pleasures, not matter how simple or immaterial.
The hole in my heart is irrepairable, but nothing can take away the best 26 1/2 years of my life. I'm sorry for the long post, but he loved bowhunting and I felt the need to honor this outstanding man. I'll see you on the other side, buddy.
