Help support the Hoy family through their sudden crisis

Cheyenne is so so grateful to the many people who have been so kind. Please help spread the word so we can keep the support coming. Her life without Clay is going to be a huge emotional and financial challenge.

Clayton and Cheyenne are your all American couple. They met, fell in love, became the best of friends, got married, had their son Cillian and now have a baby girl due next month. Their life was everything they could’ve ever dreamt of until Thursday, July 25th 2024, when Clayton tragically fell from his commercial fishing boat in Egegik, AK. His crew heard the splash and immediately reported him overboard and requested help looking for him. Unfortunately, after about 36 hours of the Coast Guard, other fishermen (including his father), and local volunteers, searching by boat and foot, the search was suspended. The only sign of Clayton were his shoes that washed up to a mudbank. Their dream life turned into a family’s worst nightmare in the blink of an eye. Clayton, a WA state resident(Everson, WA), has been fishing in Alaska since he was a teenager, with his father. He continued down that path as an adult, buying his own boat and managing a crew of his own, still fishing alongside his father. This means Clayton is away working for months at a time and his wife is holding down the fort at home. They countdown the months, weeks, and days until they’re together again. He’s a true family man. When Clayton isn’t spending time with his wife and son, he’s fishing or hunting to make a living and provide food for them. He’s the provider for his family. His wife Cheyenne stays home with their almost 2-year-old son and will be welcoming their baby girl in a matter of weeks, now presumably on her own. She is trying to stay strong, but no wife or mother should feel a financial burden while grieving the loss of her husband, all while bringing a new baby into the world, who will never meet her daddy. There are many expenses ahead. If you would like to support this sweet and deserving family as they navigate through this horrible tragedy, please donate below. They would be incredibly grateful.
