Clay Ramsdell was born September 30, 1969 and passed away December 24, 2025 surrounded by his loving family.

Clay is survived by his heartbroken parents Lynn and Charles; his brother Tom and wife Melissa; his sons Ryan and Connor; and his aunts Diane Leiher and Jayne Sullivan.

Clay was born in New York City, and moved to Palos Verdes CA with his family in 1975. He attended Montemalaga Elementary where he met his first lifelong friend Glen Schneiderman. The family moved to Rolling Hills in 1982 where Clay made many more close friends. After Miraleste High, Clay studied at USC majoring in finance and graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree.

After University, Clay joined RE/MAX Palos Verdes Realty where he enjoyed a long and successful career in real estate. Later he started Digital Archive Technology, a document management and litigation support firm.

Clay loved cars especially fast ones, and music particularly the Beatles. He was witty with a wicked sense of humor. He had a big heart and he loved his family, his friends and his dogs. His greatest joy in life was his two boys who he always said he loved to pieces.

Clay, you left us too soon and we will miss you more than words can say.

Our hope for you until we meet again is best expressed inThe Irish Blessing.

May the road rise up to meet you

May the wind be always at your back

May the sun shine warm upon your face

And the rain fall soft upon your fields

And until we meet again,

May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
