Clayton Lee Grizzle, 18, of North Manchester, died at 7:08 p.m., Sunday, June 30, 2013, in North Manchester, as a result of a tragic car accident.

Clayton is a 2013 graduate of Manchester High School, and was planning to attend Universal Technical Institute (UTI), in Chicago, in August. He worked at McGuin's Clean Cut Lawn Maintenence in Huntington. He loved soccer and playing airsoft with his great group of friends. His passion is cars, he loved buying selling, and trading them. Everyone that knew Clayton saw his love of cars. He owned over 25 cars in his short time with us. He loved helping anyone, that asked, find or fix cars. He was a great friend to many. Thanks to his love of soccer, he made sure he taught his brother, Kyle, his skills so he would love soccer as much as he did.
