Clayton Willis Alexander

The Lord blessed us with the life of Clayton Willis Alexander on September 26, 1965 to Leora and Warren Alexander. The Lord took Clayton gently to heaven with him on March 3, 2020. Life may not have always been easy for Clayton, but nothing ever slowed him down. He lived life to the fullest. He loved all of his family and friends the same way he lived. And his family loved him the same way. Clayton loved hanging out with his family and being outdoors. His biggest hobby was spending time with his siblings. He enjoyed being outside cutting firewood and harvesting cedar bark. He never missed a gathering.

Now that he is with The Lord, he is gathering with his father Warren Alexander, grandmother Bernice Williams, grandfather Walter Sambo, grandfather Irven O’Harrah, grandmother Corrine Steele, cousin Robert Cleary, Uncle Jerry Alexander, Aunt Clara, Aunt Joanne, and Uncle Mikey.

He is survived by his mother and best friend Leora Vandertie, sister Tina (John) Crolley, brother Warren Alexander (Warrine), Tammy Taylor (Lance), brother Alan Alexander (Angela), special brother Justin Wahlsmith, brother Jeff Nissell (Colleen), Aunts Eleanor, Florence, Uncle Harry, Aunt Marlene (Painer), Uncle David, Lynne, daughter Felicia, granddaughter Rajalion (Raja) Holland who he loved unconditionally, and numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, and many friends.

Clayton was a proud member of the Tulalip Tribes and will be loved in memory to all who has shared his life.

Visitation will be held on Saturday, March 7, 2020 at 9am at Schaefer-Shipman Funeral Home. Funeral services will be March 7, 2020 at 11am at the Tulalip Tribal Gym with burial to follow at Mission Beach Cemetery.
