FWCB lost one of our own this week. Clay Allen (Class of 2018) passed away on Thursday August 21 after battling cancer for over a year. Clay had a big smile and an even bigger heart. He loved being outdoors, hunting and fishing, and his classmates loved being out there with him. After graduation, Clay worked for the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission. We are keeping Clay's parents, wife, daughter, and extended family in our thoughts. We will miss you, Clay.
