Taylor Craig Clayton

Our beautiful and loving son, Taylor Craig Clayton, passed away suddenly on August 21, 2026, at the age of 40.

Taylor was not only our son, but our best friend, and we were blessed to have had the pleasure of working alongside him for most of his life. He took great pride in the work he did and always gave his best. We were incredibly proud to call him our son.

Those who knew Taylor will remember him for his easygoing personality, kind heart, and unforgettable smile—a smile that could brighten even the darkest of days. He had a way of making people feel comfortable and welcomed, and his presence brought light and warmth to everyone around him.

Taylor will be deeply missed by his loving parents, Brenda and Craig Clayton, and his brothers, Shawn and Chad. He will also be forever missed by his loving fiancée, Candice Lee, as well as his many aunts, uncles, extended family members, and friends who were fortunate enough to know and love him.

Taylor's life touched so many people, and although his time with us was far too short, the memories of his laughter, his smile, and the love he shared will remain in our hearts forever.

The family would like to extend their sincere gratitude to everyone who offered their support during this difficult time, including York Regional Police – #3 District and the Coroner's Office in Toronto, for their assistance and compassion.

Taylor, you will always be our son, our best friend, and a part of us.

You will be loved, remembered, and missed every single day.
