Obituary

Clayborne Edwin Chavers transitioned on December 22, 2025, after a prolonged illness following a traumatic brain injury. He was a father, husband, brother, artist, veteran, attorney, and a man whose presence filled rooms long before he ever spoke.

Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Clay (or “Butchy” as his mother and older sister called him) was raised in a working-class Black family and came of age in a city that shaped both his grit and his contradictions. …
