In a heartbreaking turn of events, the community of Morgantown is grappling with the unexpected passing of Clay Alden Leone, a vibrant soul who left us on Friday, January 12th, 2024, at the young age of 27. The news has sent shockwaves through our tight-knit community, leaving friends and family mourning the loss of a beloved member.
Clay’s untimely departure has left a void in the hearts of those who knew him, and as we collectively process this loss, his family plans to share a complete obituary on Saturday, January 13th, through the funeral home’s website.
This will offer an opportunity for friends and well-wishers to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the life that Clay lived and the impact he had on those around him.
To honor Clay’s memory, his family invites friends to join them in a gathering at Smith Funeral & Cremation Care, located at 108 Holland Ave., Westover / Morgantown, on Wednesday, January 17th, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. This informal time of sharing memories will be a chance for the community to come together, offering comfort and support to one another as they navigate the complex emotions that accompany such a sudden loss.
It’s important to note that there will not be a formal funeral service for Clay. Instead, the family has expressed their wish for his memory to be honored through cremation. This choice reflects their desire for a more personal and intimate remembrance of Clay’s life and the impact he had on those fortunate enough to know him.
As we gather to celebrate Clay Alden Leone’s life and legacy, let us remember the joy and positivity he brought to the lives of those around him.
May this memorial gathering serve as a testament to the impact he had on our community and provide solace to those mourning his departure. In our shared grief, let us find strength in unity and support, standing together as we remember a life that left us too soon.
