Clay Chister Killsnight, age 35, of Lame Deer took his journey home on January 29, 2025. Clay was born on October 23, 1989 to Estelle Runsabove and Eli Killsnight.
He grew up in Ashland and Billings. He was always an outgoing person and loved to make people laugh and always had a smile on his face. He enjoyed playing basketball, drawing, beading, and making things. Clay always helped who and when he could. He loved spending time with his family and friends. Clay would put himself out there and made a lot of friends that always turned into family.
He would travel to visit his big sister, Kathy and her kids when they lived in Douglas, WY and Moorcroft, WY. He loved hanging out with his nephews and nieces at the house, park, basketball courts, or just walking around spending time together.
He lived a life that only he knew where he was going and was a hard worker. He made many friends in his 35 years on this Earth. Clays smile, laugh, and personality will be greatly missed.
