Clayton Andrew Pauze

With deep sorrow, we share the sudden passing of Clayton Andrew Pauze, who left us on June 25, 2025, at the age of 52. Clayton will be dearly missed by his loving wife, Isabel, and his treasured daughters, Sophia and Claire. He is also survived by his father, Leo; his brother, Ryan; sister-in-law, Jennifer; and their children, Bailey and Carter. Clayton was predeceased by his mother, Lynn.

Clayton was a man of many passions. His dedication to the International Pistol Defense Association (IDPA) and trap shooting was well-known among his friends and colleagues. He had a deep love for airplanes, which turned into a successful career as the Chief Pilot for Perdue Farms. His expertise and commitment to his profession were admired by all who had the privilege of working with him.

Above all, Clayton was a loving family member who adored and protected his family. His warmth, kindness, and unwavering support were the cornerstones of his relationships. He will be remembered for his gentle spirit, his infectious enthusiasm, and his steadfast devotion to those he loved.

Funeral Service will be private.

In this time of sorrow, we find comfort in the memories we shared with Clayton and the legacy he leaves behind. His presence will be deeply missed, but his spirit will live on in the hearts of his family and friends.
