Clay Fredley
On Thursday, Nov. 7, 2019, our beloved son, brother and uncle, lost his long, hard battle with addiction.
Clay touched the lives of every person he met and helped so many others along his journey. He lit up every room he walked into with a smile and laugh that was contagious, and never left a room without telling everyone he loved them.
Clay was a veteran of the U.S. Army, where he served as an infantry combat soldier from 2009 until 2012, during Operation Iraqi Freedom, where he received many medals and honors, including the Iraqi Campaign Medal with two stars, a National Defense Service Medal, a Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, and his Sharpshooter Marksmanship Badge. His last duty assignment was in the Wounded Warriors in Schofield Barracks, Hawaii.
Clay is survived by his parents, Dean “Butch” Fredley and Richelle Fredley; his sister, Chloe Fredley; and his nephew and niece, Hudson and Harrison, who he adored spending time with.
He was preceded in death by both maternal and paternal grandparents; and an uncle.
