Clinton Jeffrey Obituary
JEFFREY, Clinton Edward
Born October 18, 1970, in Sacramento, tragically met with an untimely death on June 1, 2006. He is survived by his loving wife Dana Jeffrey of Sacramento and his parents Ramona Knight and Robert Jeffrey, both of Sacramento.

Also survived by seven nieces, one nephew, grandparents Kenneth and Elisabeth Norquist, Uncle Vaughn Norquist, and extended family in Chicago. Son-in-law to Norma Rhatigan and Lars Ericson. Clint will be remembered for his gentle spirit, big heart, and sensitive nature. He valued relationships and the deep connections he had with his family and friends.

He loved and cared for the environment. He was a longtime member of the Yosemite Association.

I can't believe you have been gone for 18 years. So many things have happened since we lost you. We still miss you so very much and wish you could be with us. I feel like part of you is still here encouraging us to live our lives to the fullest. I know you at peace now and that is comforting even after all the years without you. We love you so much. Mom and all the family.

Today is your birthday. You probably never knew that I thought of you every October 18, especially since we hadn't spoken for a while. I always hoped our paths would once again meet. You may have been my step-brother in name but in my heart you were my brother. In the few years we spent together, I believe we were as close as any siblings could be. I consider myself fortunate to have had you around during some of my most difficult times. I wish I could have been there for yours. Daily I think of you and find myself using expressions you used to use. I've found that in life there are people who leave a permanent impression on the soul; you, my brother, are one. I miss you and I hope we meet again.

My dearest cousins,
There are no words to express our sorrow...and that is why it has taken us too long to write. Please know that Dana, Ramona and your families are in our prayers and thoughts.
Do not hesitate to call on us if there is anything we can do.
With love always,
Jeanie and Fred

I shall always remember Clint for telling me about Acesics sports shoes. They're the best jogging shoes around. Every morning when I put them on and see the name, I think of Clint. I will always buy those shoes and think of him. (I'm not sure if I spelled it correctly. Isn't it funny how I see the name on my shoes every day, and yet, I can't remember how to spell it correctly? But no matter.) Maybe his gentle spirit and easy smile sees me jogging in the mornings and he knows how I appreciated his advice.

A young man you were when I first met you. Good looking with a desire for doing so many things in life. You gave of yourself to people and the environment. You enjoyed being with friends, family, laughing, you loved Yosemite and ice cream (I remember many summer nights at our house with ice cream and stories).
I'll always remember the time you were driving and spotted a little lost dog. You stopped on the side of the road, picked it up and went door to door to find its owner.
We can no longer watch you grow but you have touched the lives of many people. And those memories cannot be taken from us.
What we can do to say 'thank you' to you Clint Jeffrey for all that you gave to us is share the memories we have and be there for those who are asking for help. Thank you Clint Jeffrey for being in my space and time on earth.

The tender friendship one gives up, on parting, leave their bite on the heart, but also a curious feeling of a treasure somewhere buried.
Dana, My thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

Dana, You are definitely in my thoughts and prayers. Clint gently and kindly touched the world and will always be remembered fondly. One of his best qualities is that he loved you deeply. I hope you find strength in the memories of Clint’s love. May the support of your friends and family and God’s grace will help carry you through this difficult time.

Dana,
I did not know Clint but recently learned much about him through our conversation and through the service today. His poems moved me and caused me to reflect. He has impacted my life even though we have never met. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Dana, Ramona and Families, words can't tell anyone how we feel when we loose a Loved One. Clint was a great Guy, that I had the pleasure to know for 4-years. He was a very opened-minded person, which made me feel so good and he never showed me otherwise. He was actually like a Relative to me, like a Brother or Cousin, because of the great close Friendship we had. We had some times when we were talking, that we would confide with each other about things that we might have shared with others. We always were so glad to see each other and when we were going our separate ways back to our residences, I always told him to tell Dana "Hello" for me and give her a Big Hug from me and send her my Love also. Clint and I could usually carry on quite a conversation, about almost anything and everything and sometimes we would even be talking for a couple of hours, when we were able to have the time to talk and share. My Heart goes out to everyone of his Family members and his "Circle of Friends" and you all have a special place in my Heart as well, right next to Clint. He will always be remembered by me. If any of you ever feel the need to talk to someone else, outside of the Families and Friends, please don't hesitate to E-Mail me or Call me. I have given Ramona my Phone Number. Peace be with every one of you, you are in my thoughts and Prayers now and always.
Peace, Prayers, Hugs and Love, Steve Groff Sacto "OCD" Group CO-Facilitator...
