Norman D. Clayton, 80, of Lubbock passed away on Wednesday, September 21, 2022 in Lubbock.

Norman was born on June 23, 1942 in Amherst, Texas to Freddie D. Clayton and Emily Hawkins Clayton. He was raised in Earth, Texas and graduated from Springlake-Earth High School. He received his Bachelor of Science degree from Abilene Christian College in 1964. During his early years he farmed in the Earth area. He later moved to Lubbock to attend the Sunset School of Preaching (SSOP – now known as the Sunset International Bible Institute). He married Virginia “Ginger” Louise Coffman Browne on July 8, 1983 in Lubbock. After graduation from the SSOP, he worked in the grocery business, eventually retiring in 2003 as a Front-End Manager at Albertsons.

In his retirement years, he owned and operated Norman Clayton’s Guide Services at Lake Alan Henry where he enjoyed sharing his love of fishing with his friends and clients. When he wasn’t fishing, he could be found reading his Bible or a good western novel. He also enjoyed a game of cribbage. He was a faithful member of Sunset Church of Christ, where he also served as a deacon. Norman loved people and that was evidenced by the many acts of service he performed for others.
