Clifford Gordon Steckman

Clifford (Cliff) Gordon Steckman passed away peacefully on December 29th, 2022 at his home in Lake Tapps, WA with his family by his side.

In 1968, Cliff was drafted and later became a proud Vietnam veteran, having served in the 1st Signal Brigade as a Tactical Microwave Systems Repairer, using his military training and civilian skills as a radio repairman in the Vietnam war.

He was married to Cindy Senn in 1974, moved to Federal Way and fathered two daughters, Holly and Jaime. He was a loving father who always found ways to keep his daughters entertained, whether that was by building a tree house and a merry-go-round or making them laugh with his funny faces and silly sounds.

Cliff enjoyed taking the family on adventures from campsite to campsite with their trusty tent trailer while making their way to his favorite vacation spot, Disneyland.

He was a capable handyman by trade and hobby. He was often seen fixing or building something for his family and friends. In 2014 he moved to Lake Tapps and continued helping others selflessly with his handyman skills, all the way up until his passing.

Cliff was preceded by his father, Herbert and mother, Ruth. He is survived by daughters Holly & Jaime (Cody), ex-wife and best friend Cindy, granddaughter Brielle, sister Jeri (Steve), nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends who loved him very much and will miss him always.

Always remember; you are BRAVER than you believe, STRONGER than you seem, SMARTER than you think, & LOVED more than you know.
