Clay began his earthly journey on August 23, 1943, in Ardmore, Oklahoma, the son of Victor Bryce “Tup” Robertson and Wanda Jo (Cline) Robertson. A lifelong resident of Love County, Clay devoted much of his life to the family business, Robertson’s Hams, where he began working at an early age. For many years, he worked faithfully alongside his father until his retirement, helping build not only a successful business but also a lasting legacy within the community. Robertson’s Hams was a tremendous source of pride and joy to Clay, and he took great satisfaction in the many ways the business served and contributed to the people of Marietta throughout the years.

There were many things in Clay’s life that brought him genuine joy: the freedom of the outdoors, time spent on his land, hours on his tractors, and working alongside family in the family business. Yet beyond these simple pleasures were the deeper passions that defined the man he was — helping those in need, caring for the less fortunate, giving generously with an open hand, and loving others with a sincere and compassionate heart. Above all else, his greatest devotion was to his family. Clay’s kindness, servant’s heart, and passion for life were firmly rooted in his unwavering faith in his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. In every interaction, whether through words or quiet example, Clay’s deepest desire was that others would come to know the hope and love found in a relationship with Christ.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his first wife and the mother of his children, Betty Jean Robertson; a daughter, Susan Kay Butterfield; and a son, Michael Clay Robertson.

Survivors include his wife, Suzanna Robertson; son, Rob Robertson and wife Brenda; daughter, Leslie Weddige and husband Karl; daughter-in-law, Crystal Robertson; stepdaughters, Audra Langston and husband Jason, and Mary Neely and husband Jarrod. Clay is also survived by his sister, Vicki Lowe, his sister-in-law, LaWanna Reed and husband Tim; his grandchildren, April Tarter and husband Jeremy, Bret Robertson and wife Tara, Russell Robertson and wife KayLyn, Dillon May and wife Lacey, Konner Weddige and wife Brittany, Klair Stowers and husband Cole, Abby Paschall, Molly Paschall, Kreg Weddige and wife Carly, Sydney Robertson, Porter Robertson, and Hap Robertson; great-grandchildren, Dalton, Aubrey, Penelope, Kayleigh, Kora, Cheyenne, Taven, Drake, and Brooks; step-grandchildren, Cameron and wife Haley, Chloe, Carrigan, and Lila; and step-great-granddaughter, Eloise.

Additionally, his cousin, Joy Jane Murphy, who became not only a special part of his childhood but a lifelong friend as well. Together they shared countless cherished memories that remained close to his heart throughout his days on this earth.

His presence, wisdom, quiet strength, and faithful example will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing and loving him.
