We are still in disbelief to know you are no longer here. There are so many people whose lives you have touched with your big heart and warm smile. Our heart goes out to the entire family along with all of Cliff's friends who are hurting. We will miss you Cliff and you will always be in our hearts!

I still remember the very first time I met Cliff. We had crushes on each other in the 6th grade, but we were both to scared to approach one another. After we silently "dated" for about a week, we became really good friends. Cliff was a CLOWN, so it was hard not to love him. We lost touch when I started going to a different high school, but whenever we ran into each other it was nothing but smiles and a great time. I'm so happy to have known such a bright and amazing person and I will always cherish the memories of our friendship. It's still hard for me to accept the fact that he's gone, but I know everything happens for a reason and God will help us get through it all.

There is nothing I could say that would ease the loss of such an AMAZING friend. I have known Cliff since Greenfield, and we stayed friends from day one. He always knew how to make me laugh, and when I was having a bad day, I only needed to see his smile to brighten up. I still laugh when I think about all those shoes he had, one pair for every outfit. He truly was "best dressed." I pray that God will be with his family and will comfort you through this time. Cliff IS in a better place, smiling down on all of us.

All my thought and prayers go out to the Family at this time of loss. Cliff was a wonderful child. A wonderful Grandson, Uncle, and friend. I will never forget that little boy standing in the kitchen singing "Oh Happy Day" with all his heart. He will always live on in my heart.

His laugh was infectious and comforting to so many. Cliff was a son, brother,nephew or friend to evryone that knew him. Dear "Cliffy" When you finally let go tell your mom, and aunt Rachel we love them.
Love,
Aunts Brandi and Ashley

It is with a heavy heart that my mind flashes back to a skinny little boy with long, skinny legs and a big, bright smile, swimming and playing at Greefield pool. Then fast forwards to JRHS Chorus Concerts where that knobby-kneed little boy was hiding inside a handsome, well mannered young man.
So many hearts are saddened by Cliff's passing. I pray God grant peaceful healing for all who are suffering this loss.

Cliff was more than just a wonderful person; he was always so kind and considerate to us that i always welcomed seeing him at every opportunity.
And, i know that his passing will not only leave a void in our lives, but in the hearts of all those who knew him.
Cliff will always remain within my heart, and i have included Cliff and you in our daily prayers. May God give you strength.
If there is anything that i can do to help you in anyway, please do not hesitate to call me at anytime. You can phone either of us at (804)914-6244 even if it is only to talk.

The passing of Cliff hits hard. He was a good friend of my oldest son throughout school. They were members of several basketball teams, including high school, together. Cliff was one of the most polite kids I have known. His laughter and smile were infectious. I pray God's grace to his family.

My heart goes out to Cliff's family and friends. Cliff grew up with my own children, and spent many a sleepover at our house with all of the other kids when he was little. He was also my son's valued basketball teammate through high school, and remained a good friend. He always had a kind word and a hug for me, and I will miss his great big grin and delightful personality. In his short life, he made himself a lot of fans, myself included. He will be remembered fondly.
