Victor Dellion Clayton was born on July 25, 1994, in Lansing, Michigan to Deborah Benson and Jerimic Clayborn, Sr. Victor received his formal education through the Lansing Public School District. Throughout his adult life, Victor held employment at various jobs, including, L & M Party Store and LS Automotive. He enjoyed spending time with family and friends, cooking, especially outside on the grill, and watching football and basketball.
Victor received Christ at an early age. He was taught the Love of Christ and how important it was to show love to others. During his visitation here on earth, he touched a lot of souls, by his acts of love. No matter who you were, he would not judge you, but rather encourage you with positive words. You would often find him uplifting family and friends in their time of need, with reassuring words like “you got this” or “I got you”. He was very fond of his mother and often referred to her as his “Queen”. His mesmerizing smile, no matter the occasion brought good energy, wherever he went. He was especially excited about sharing this good energy with his nieces, nephews, Godchildren, and friends. Everyone who knew Victor will remember his sense of humor and his love for his family and friends.
