Clay Garrett Nygaard, 30, of Wolf Point went home to our Lord and Savior on the 19th of June, 2024, as a result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident. His family is heartbroken and devastated over the loss of such a hard-working, loving, sweet, kindhearted soul. Clay was born May 2nd, 1994m to Cheryl Lee Culbertson and Raymond P. Nygaard. From a young age, he was a dyed-in-the-wool cowboy. He grew up on a farm on the Beck Ranch riding horse and moving cows. At the tender age of two, he was bucked off a horse, dusted himself off and got right back on. He had a cowboy’s work ethic too, always lending a helping hand, feeding animals and doing chores around the farm and helping the community with their brandings. Being from Wolf Point, Clay was a natural outdoorsman. His passions were hunting and fishing, starting with gopher hunting, and eventually growing into buck and coyote hunting. He also loved listening to music, working on his truck, and most of all spending time with his son, Toby. On August 21st, 2013, Clay Nygaard and Selena Agosto brought Toby Garrett Nygaard into this world. Toby was Clay’s pride and joy. There was nothing that could come between the two of them. Inseparable, they never spent a day apart, and Clay ensured he taught Toby how to hunt and fish and everything that entails being a man. In Clay’s last couple of years, he moved to Scobey and started to work with his brother Tyler in construction. In this work, he found another passion in helping build someone’s dream into reality. There wasn’t anything he wouldn’t do to get the job done. Clay is survived by his son,
