Triston Alexander David Clay

Triston Alexander David Clay, age 17, was called home to be with the Lord on Friday, November 1, 2019. He was born to Treva Hogan and David Childs on December 3, 2001 in Columbia, Missouri. Triston attended Fulton High School. He joined New Richland Church at a young age. He loved playing football and was a beast on the field. He was creative and made his own music videos and loved going to the studio to create his music. He loved the holidays and spending time with his family. He enjoyed being with his friends. Triston's dream was to move to California to become a rap star. When he was five years old, he always wanted to be a rapper. He would go around with headphones on, listening to rap. At the time, his parents didn't want him listening to it, but he would sneak around and listen to it anyway. He seemed to have music in his blood. At the age of 15, he decided to be an organ donor. With this decision he saved many lives upon his death. Those left to cherish his memory are his mother: Treva Hogan (Ronmell Jenkins), his father: David Childs (Lae Tonyah); two sisters: Alexis Piggee (Lyndon) and Gabrielle Hogan; brother: Zachary Childs; two nephews: Giovanni Piggee and Lyndon Piggee Jr.; grandmother: Lois Ramsey; aunts: Teisha Moody, Rhoda Curry Childs, and Diana Scott of Cincinatti, Ohio; uncles: Robert Childs, Ervin Childs, and Dennis Childs; and a host of great aunts, uncles, cousins and many friends. Triston was preceded in death by his sister: Kristalaia Whitney; his grandfather: Thomas Moody Jr.; great-grandparents: Orville and Margaret Galbreath; grandmother: Alyce Childs; a mother figure: Geraldine Kelly; and an infant brother: Jordan Childs. Friends and family will be received from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 16, 2019, followed by a "Glo-Coming Celebration" at 1:00 p.m. at 54 Country in Fulton, Missouri.
