Loved

This past weekend, I received news that broke my heart. One of my favorites in this world died in a motorcycle accident.  Scrolling through his facebook page, you know that he was important to a lot of people.

You should be so lucky to get a nickname from him.

He was a lover AND a fighter

He was funny

He was stylish in his own right

He was a secret keeper

He had a mustache for every season

He was inappropriate

He was feisty

He was approachable

He was a presence

He was unpredictable
He was charming

He had a contagious laugh

He had a story for everything

He was wild

He was mellow

He was trouble

He was loyal

and

He was loved

 

And I know God Loved Clayton

because on the day that He took him

it was September - the most beautiful month in Minnesota

he had love in his house

he had the wind in his hair

and he didn't suffer

 

He is my friend

And he is loved.
