Austin Leslie Clayton was born on October 28, 1940, in Westmoreland, Jamaica. He lived a life marked by humility, love, devotion, family, and cherished memories shared with those who knew him best.
Austin was the beloved husband of Hyacinth, with whom he shared 59 years of marriage and 65 years of love and companionship. Their enduring bond was a beautiful example of love, commitment, and partnership.
Austin found joy in the simple pleasures of life. He enjoyed fishing, playing dominoes, and bowling, and he treasured the moments spent with family and friends. His presence, wisdom, humor, and love will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
Austin was a career public servant, retired from the National Water Commission in Jamaica. He was a devoted father to five children: Charmaine Clayton, Jennifer Davy, Dawn Clayton, Solomon (Rodger) Clayton, and Annie (Rosey) Clayton. He was also loved by his son-in-law, Nigel Davy, and cherished by his seven grandchildren: Duane Duhaney, Kyle Davy, Brandon Clayton, Diane Duhaney, Ramon Clayton, Anthony Sellers, and Brianna Clayton.
Austin was a student of the Bible, having weekly Bible Studies with Jehovah’s Witnesses. He supported his wife’s spiritual goals and provided a welcoming atmosphere for her hospitality to the friends.
Austin firmly believed in the Bible’s teaching of the resurrection hope. We hold on to our solid hope for the future when Jehovah will relieve mankind of the sting of death. Until that promised time, his memory will remain close in our hearts. Austin’s legacy lives on through the lives of his wife, children, grandchildren, extended family, and all who were blessed to know and love him. He was preceded in death by his mother, Ena Brown.
“And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” — Revelation 21:4

Don’t think of him as gone away-his journey is just began began
Life holds so many facets-this earth is only one….
Just think of him as resting from the sorrows and the tears. In a place of warmth and comfort, where there are no days or years or years!
Think of how he must be wishing that we could know today today
How nothing but our sadness can really past away pass away.
And think of him as living in the heart of those he touched,
For nothing loved is is ever lost-and he was loved so much.
To Charmaine and the Clayton family. I am so sorry to hear about the loss of papa. My taughts and prayers are with you. Sending you much love and blessings.
We are sorry for your loss, take comfort in knowing the he in resting with God’s arms.

Papa sense of humor, warm personality, and kind spirit brightened every encounter. While words cannot ease the pain of your loss, I hope the Clayton’s family find comfort in the many cherished memories he leaves behind. His legacy of kindness, laughter, and love will continue to live on through your family , friends, and everyone whose life he touched.

Rosey is a friend, whom I met through my sister Andrea.
For Rosey, he was her air. After meeting him, I understood why.
I know the road ahead will be difficult.
Lean on God, your family and friends where you will find support.
R.I.P. Mr. Clayton.
Growing up in Breaton our families shared more than just neighbors…we shared a bond. The memories of laughter and togetherness that we built in Braeton are a testament to the life he lived and the relationship he nurtured. Those memories will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew him. Rest in peace
Mr C – The quiet giant who spoke far more through his actions than his words. I will remember him as the devoted family man, and for me, one of the first, and one of the rarest examples of what a father’s unwavering dedication and love for his family truly looked like.
I will always remember his gentle spirit, his humility, and his calm presence. He was the soft spoken husband and father, and the standard his son, grandsons and I should all strive to emulate. Long live his memory and beautiful legacy…
