Clayton William Pike

Our beloved son, brother, and friend Clayton William Pike unexpectedly passed away August 11, 2026, at the age of 23.

Clayton was born July 25, 2003 in Red Wing, MN to proud parents Gale and Brandee (Juneau) Pike. He was the youngest of their 3 children, eldest daughter Selina, and older brother Weston who dearly loved him. He also had many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends that cherished him.

Clayton was known for being an adventurer. You could always find him somewhere outdoors. He loved mountain biking, rock climbing, snowboarding, skateboarding and more. Clayton was spontaneous and fun, always down for a last minute trip.

Clayton followed his father’s love for music. He was a naturally gifted musician, often referred to as a “musical prodigy” by his family members. He played guitar, drums, bass, keyboard, and even wrote and produced music.

Being a social butterfly, Clayton made friends everywhere he went. People were intuitively drawn to his warm and funny personality. He was kind and generous, always going above and beyond for the people he loved. His humor and bright energy could easily fill a room with laughter. After you spent time with Clayton, you couldn’t help but want to be his friend.

Working alongside his father, as partner in Northern Pike Builders he became skilled in construction and had the privilege of serving in the LDC, helping in disaster relief to build and repair Kingdom Halls throughout the area.

Clayton was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses April 16, 2017. He loved to share his love of the Bible with others. Clayton believed in the hope found at John 5:28, 29 which says “for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life”

We anxiously await to be reunited with our precious Clayton. We take comfort in knowing God will return him to our arms in the future as promised in Revelation 21:4 “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.”

Clayton made life brighter for those around him. Clayton leaves behind a legacy of love and kindness, and is immensely missed by everyone who knew him. Clayton’s light will continue to shine in our lives until we are reunited with him again.

A memorial service will be held at a later date.
