Clayton Trotter: 05/20/1934 - 11/19/2023

It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to the one and only Clayton Trotter, a Midlothian legend who shuffled off this mortal coil on November 19, 2023. Clayton was a man of many talents, known for his witty jokes, love for his community, and an uncanny ability to find the nearest buffet line.

Born on May 20, 1934, Clayton quickly gained fame in his small town for his impressive culinary exploits. The stories of his appetite were almost mythological in nature, with tales of him eating an entire Thanksgiving turkey by himself and having a never-ending craving for pizza – you could often spot Clayton at the local pizzeria cornering the market on mozzarella.

Clayton's zest for food and humor made him an unforgettable character in Midlothian. His infectious laughter could be heard from miles away, and his comedic timing was so impeccable that he had crowds howling with joy. He once even made a bee take a break from its daily honey-gathering just to chuckle at one of his jokes.

Beyond his comedic brilliance, Clayton was a loyal friend and outstanding community member. He dedicated countless hours to his favorite hobbies – volunteering at local charities and organizing fundraisers for good causes, as long as they had a buffet-style dinner afterward. Clayton could always be found at the forefront of any event with a warm smile and a plate piled high with his favorite dishes.

Clayton's eccentric personality was only surpassed by his sense of fashion. Never one to shy away from bold choices, he was often seen sporting colorful plaid suits, mismatched socks, and a collection of ever-changing wigs – a fashion icon in his own right. The local hair salons in Midlothian will never forget his weekly visits, each time leaving with a new 'do and a story to tell.

Clayton is survived by his loving family and a community who will forever cherish the memories he created. He will be remembered for his larger-than-life personality, his infectious laughter, and his relentless pursuit of food. In honor of Clayton's legacy, let us raise a buffet plate and remember the joy he brought to all our lives.

Rest in peace, dear Clayton Trotter. May the afterlife provide you with an endless supply of delicious meals and a never-ending audience for your hilarious jokes.
