Layton was born on July 30, 1944 to Earl W. and Viona K. (Bleckwehl) Schlotfeld. He lived in many places because his dad worked for farmers.

Layton was an over-the-road truck driver for many years, including being an owner/operator. He also, the past several years, helped at Wiecks Auction in Grand Island when they needed it.

Layton loved each and every kid in the family. He was so proud of his kids, who also included Sharon Moorman who adopted him as her dad. They were the love of his life. He loved being called Dad.

He said to celebrate his life because he had all of you. You all were his main road in life. He said he has been many places in life, but his kids were his only place to be with.

He was preceded in death by his parents, his wife Sandra, and one sister, Carole Gaver.

Those left to cherish his memory include his wife, Connie of Grand Island; children, Gina (Jim) Heins of Rising City, NE, Mandy Schlotfeld of Grand Island, Jodie (Brad) Reeh of Kennard, NE, Todd (Carrie) Bingham of Blair, NE, Pamela (Frank) Lynch of Newton, NH, John (Deb) Markworth of Grand Island, Emalee (Mike) Lemburg of McCook, NE; 20 grandchildren; 24 great grandchildren; aunt, Arlene Manning of West Point, NE; and many cousins, nieces, and nephews.
