Clayton Lewis Carpenter was born in Midland, Texas on Aug. 19, 1958. He went to be with his Lord and Savior on March 29, 2013, at the age of 54. Clay graduated from Spring High School in 1976, and then went on to pursue his career in construction. Over the next 30 years, he became known as one of the most knowledgeable and skilled builders in the West Texas and Houston areas.
In his young career, he helped build the first home in George Mitchell's master-planned community, the Woodlands. From that point on, Clay knew what he wanted to do and continued to learn and perfect his talent. Clay was a huge participant in Houston's pivotal growth era. Clay was his own man, he was strong-willed and opinionated, and he always welcomed a good argument. Clay's deep love of faith and family was always the root of his strong convictions. He will be deeply missed and forever loved.
