Clifford Garfield Obituary

Cliffton Chaim Garfield Cliffton Chaim Garfield, aged 26, of Hilton Head Island, SC. "Cliff" - Our beloved Son, Brother, and Uncle - has moved on to a better place. He passed peacefully in his sleep at home, in the early morning hours of Saturday, August 15, 2015. Cliffton was born to Clifford H. Garfield, and Rebecca J. Miller, on a beautiful Friday, the 26th of February, in the year 1989. He is a true Son of the South, born and raised in Beaufort County. Cliff is survived by his Grandmothers, Frances Garfield and Mary Clemens, both parents, as well as sisters Lacey, Daphne, his brother Colin, nieces Kali, Kyrsten, Emily, nephews Josh, Bailey, and a loving extended family. He was a 2007 graduate of Bluffton High School. Cliff was an excellent carpenter by trade. Cliffs true passion in life was fishing, even spending a season in Alaska crewing a commercial vessel. With the Sun at his back, and a rod in his hand, Cliff was truly at peace, "God does not detract from man's allotted time on earth the hours spent fishing"... Cliff may have been called home, but he will never be forgotten. He was loved and will be missed by all who knew him. A Memorial Service will be held this Friday, August 21st, at 3:00 PM at the Island Funeral Home, 4 Cardinal Road, Hilton Head Island. The family graciously asks that anyone whose life was touched by Cliff, attend in remembrance. We love you Cliff. You will be forever held in our hearts.
