Payton Mcrae

Payton Alan McRae gained his wings on Monday, May 30, 2022, from his West Columbia home.  He was born on July 21, 1993, to Donna McRae Moore.  Growing up in the West Columbia area, he graduated from Airport High School with the class of 2011 with honors and attended Midlands Technical College.

Payton enjoyed listening to music, playing guitar and video games.  His family and friends were important to him, and he loved to spend time with them.  His joy came from helping others.

Proceeding him in death were his grandfathers:  Horace Hale, Olin McRae, Dale Brantley, and Henry Moore.  Payton is survived by his parents, Ed and Donna McRae Moore and Mark McRae; and his sister Ally Moore; his grandmothers:  Brenda Yon, Jackie McRae, Betty Moore, and Robin Brantley; and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.  A special thank you to his Uncle Dwayne Brantley for being there in times of need.  Payton will be greatly missed by many friends and family.
