Publish in a newspaper
Clifford was preceded in death by his wife Mary Jane (Crawford) Brown whom he married July 17, 1971, and who passed away on April 18, 2018; she was the love of his life for 47 years. He is survived by children: Cynthia (Mark) Patterson of Delta, Annette (Wade) Burbage of Bonneau SC, Jennifer (Orin) Prosser of Napoleon, Mark Brown of Hudson MI, Linda Cassady of Napoleon, Jake (MaryJo) Brown of Louisville KY, Scott (Lori) Brown of Wauseon, Jonathan (Brooke) Brown of Toledo, Melody Brown of Fayette, Lynn Moden of Bryan, and Juston Brown of Fayette, as well as 25 grandchildren, 23 great grandchildren, and 2 great great grandchildren.
He grew up in Toledo and Delta, attending Delta High School. Early jobs included farm work, fencing installation, HVAC, and other related general construction work. He spent many years as a precision machinist at Johnson Machinery in Toledo before going to work at Fulton Industries, from which he retired in 2001.
Clifford was known for his work ethic, his sense of humor, and the many jokes and stories he told. He was also known for collecting and hand crafting wind chimes which are heard gently ringing throughout northwest Ohio, and as far away as Virginia, Florida, and even Germany. Together with Mary Jane and their family, he enjoyed gardening, camping, and garage sales. His children and grandchildren will remember him for the many "treasures" he found for them over the years during his Thursday garage sale excursions.
Clifford will be interred at Lake Park Cemetery in Youngstown, Ohio. A Celebration of Life will be planned at a later date. Arrangements are being handled by Edgar-Grisier Funeral Home and in Wauseon, Ohio.
The obituary for Clifford was lovingly prepared by his family.
