Clayton transitioned to the Granite Mountain Hot Shots in 2008 and married the love of his life, Kristi, in 2011. Clayton knew God placed him on the hot shots in order to be Christ to his crew. He loved his God; he loved his crew; he loved his job; and he loved his wife. He is survived by his loving wife, Kristi; his pops, Carl Whitted; and his sisters Cheryl and Carmen.
