Saturday was Clayton’s memorial service at Atascadero Bible Church. I am not sure how many attended, but it was probably around 2,000 people.
It was a service full of laughter, tears, and l.o.v.e. It was truly amazing. It was a celebration of Clayton’s life and the love that he had for people, the love he had for God. It was moving. It was heartfelt. It was beautiful.
Do you want to be inspired? Clayton would love for you to watch it, to be inspired, to take the baton and run with it, carrying on His work. The full services is here at Clayton’s Story. His brother Zack played the piano and sang this song that Clayton asked to be played at his services, and Zack added a whole verse to it about Clayton’s life.
My meeting the McDonald family, was God’s work. I could go on and on and on about how I feel about this family, how much I admire them, how Clayton inspired me, but it would take me hours. Anybody who knows me has heard me talk about how touched I have been by the McDonalds. I am lucky, not only to have met them all, but to have found a wonderful friend in Wendy.
“If you walk with God and you’re in His will, there might be pain, you might feel alone, it might get scary, but through all of it, you will not be disappointed.” – Clayton Stanton McDonald.

jenny mcmasters - Mo, I want you to know I just shared Clayton with my brother. I don’t think he “knows” where he is going at the end of his life. I hope that his connection with Adam will be enough to make him listen to Clayton’s story and hopefully he will make a decision to walk with God the way he once did. Clayton continues to share his message!
