Clay Spencer Linginfelter of Indianapolis passed away from natural causes on Saturday July 5, 2025. He was 61 years old. Clay was born in Richmond, Indiana on Sept. 10, 1963 and spent his childhood in Dublin, Indiana.  A 1982 graduate of Lincoln High School in Cambridge City, Indiana, Clay also attended classes at Indiana University as well as Ball State.  His family loved him very much and his departure leaves a void in their hearts.  Clay was the definition of a 'free-spirited' soul.  He had the heart of a poet, the courage of a saint, and a kindness and compassion that touched every living being he encountered. He made countless lifelong friends from all over, and most everyone that met him remembered Clay.  He loved to travel, test and expand his knowledge of history, share wits, and enjoy life.  His heart was big, and he showed compassion and caring for those less fortunate through his many acts of charity.  He was a dog lover and would want his beloved Boston Terrier "Corby" to be mentioned here. Clay most recently worked as a maintenance worker for a senior living apartment complex.  Clay had many other professions and experiences throughout life.  He worked at Buckland's dairy farm during high school, later in life he worked for his father's business, Acme Patterns.  He also worked as a salesman, a bartender, owner/operator of Kinsinger's Coal and Feed, a truck driver, once drove a big rig across the country, worked in Maine as a longshoreman, built cell phone towers as an independent contractor, a remodeler handyman with his business Kraftwerks, and a maintenance worker at an elementary school.
