Clay Epperson, age 17, of Knob Noster, died Sunday, April 1.Funeral services were held at 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 7, at the Knob Noster High School with Pastor Greg Morris officiating. The family will receive friends from noon until service time at the school.

Clay was a great son, brother, grandson, and friend. He had a heart of gold and would melt your heart with those eyes and that smile. He cared for all his family and friends and would drop anything if you needed help.

He grew to be a respectable young man, and many relied on him for an ear, a ride or just to have fun. He loved fishing, hunting, farming, four wheeling and trucks. He will be missed by many and loved by all.

Memorial contributions are suggested to the Clay Epperson Memorial Fund with checks made payable to Tammy Epperson and can be left in care of Sweeny-Phillips & Holdren Funeral Home.
