Beyond his love for his family and the Sunland community, Cliff found great enjoyment in the simple pleasures of life. Music, television and his iPad brought him immense entertainment.

Cliff held a special place in his heart for his parents, and his sister, Katy. May his gentle soul rest in eternal peace.

He is survived by his sister, Katy Taylor; brother-in-law, Dom Ivener; aunt and uncle, Lani and Bill Bond; uncle, Richard Awalt; friends, Jasmine Braddock, Matt Bubien, Rusty Arnette; and residents and employees of Sunland.
