Richard "Clay" Clayton Roland's Obituary
Richard “Clay” Clayton Roland, Jr., 24, passed away Wednesday, April 25, 2012 at his home. Clay has such a zest for life. He loved to make people laugh and he always did.

He is now whole and happy and sits with our heavenly Father. Clay is survived by his parents, Richard C., Sr. and Lorna Roland; sister, Ann Clark Roland and her fiancé Russell Elmore; grandparents Ike and Mary Nell Roland and Bob and Shirley Jones, both of Clarksdale, MS; along with many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
