On June 11, 2023, Clayton Johnson, 69, of Silver City walked into the arms of his Savior, Jesus Christ and is now in his heavenly home.

Clayton owned and operated High Country 4x4 and Truck Salvage which he built from the ground up. Being self-employed allowed him the opportunity to minister to people in a spiritual and financial way. Clayton was a true servant of God and his passion was to love and help other people. He served in many leadership and teaching roles in the church for most of his life. There wasn't anyone that he wouldn't help. Clayton was a loving husband, father and grandfather. There were many times that he sacrificially provided for his family. He taught his kids, grandkids and countless others to hunt and enjoy the outdoors. He leaves behind a beautiful legacy for us to follow.

Clayton has now heard what all believers long to hear, "Well done good and faithful servant." Matthew 25:14

Clayton is survived by his wife, Marcia; one son, Seth Johnson (Jasaia); one daughter, Joy Gruwell (Bryan); four grandchildren, Taylor Fisher (Ethan), Caleb Collins, Seth A. Johnson, Tristan Johnson; one brother Jack Winn, one sister Jamie Estrada and one sister-in-law Margy Privett. Clayton was preceded in death by his parents, Eugene and Gertrude Johnson; sister, Linda Torkelson; and Aunt Jane Myers.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday June 17, 2023 at 2:00 pm at Harvest Church in Silver City.
