Clayton, Michael O. Saginaw, MI Passed away Friday, June 6, 2014 at Covenant Healthcare, the result of a sudden and traumatic stroke. Michael was born December 24, 1942 the son of the late Orin "Tye" and Virginia (Swiecicki) Clayton. Mike attended Sacred Heart High School. He went on to play basketball at Aquinas College and for the U. S. Army, where he proudly served as an M.P. He then obtained an MBA from Central Michigan University. Embarking on a 30 year career with General Motors, Saginaw Steering Gear, Mike gathered and maintained treasured friendships from every corner of his life. Mike was an avid golfer, proudly making a hole-in-one during his time on the links. He relished being with the Tuesday night golf league at Twin Oaks. His claim to fame, though, was his knowledge and love of music. Roy, Del and Buddy have gained their biggest fan. He was an incredibly kind and generous person.
