Clifford Cain Obituary

CLIFFORD CAIN My dad, Clifford Cain, passed away unexpectedly, leaving behind a legacy of laughter, kindness, and love. He is survived by my aunt, Candi Cain-Borgman, my mom, Kerry Cain, and my sisters: Makenna (26), Carter (25), and Brylee Cain (17), who will forever cherish his memory. Known for his boisterous laugh, contagious encouragement, and unwavering love for all things Kansas, he brightened the lives of everyone who knew him. His warmth and spirit will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by family, friends, and all who were lucky enough to share in his joy. In lieu of flowers, my dad would feel grateful if donations were given to the Arizona Cancer Foundation for Children. With love and friendship, Teagan Cain (19)

He was a good man, and a descent boss. He will be missed.

Cliff was our son in law but our relationship was much closer that would imply. We never missed a Sunday morning phone conversation which usually lasted at least an hour and contained much laughter and remembrances.
He was truly a warm, caring and loyal person and will be loved and missed and our time together will be treasured forever.

I wish to offer my deepest sympathy to you and your family. I graduated from high school with Donnie (Cliff). Don was such a good friend that I remember him giving up his number 1 singles spot on the high school tennis team to play number 1 doubles with me. We didn't win a match but he never cut me loose. We often left school together to "sell" ads for the school newspaper. We would make one call and then take the rest of the afternoon off. Donnie traveled to Annapolis and was in my wedding party in 1991. He was the life of the party and ended up in the pool in his tux. I didn't see Donnie as much as I wanted to but we did get together a couple of times over the past several years. Donnie gave me, my daughter and my parents a tour of the Alma Creamery a couple of years ago. My mom was so impressed we had to stop at the I 70 store and buy some cheese on the way home. I'll miss him but I will always have great memories of him as well.

My deepest condolences to the family. I only knew Cliff for a few years through work but what fun he was! He would always light up the room and my heart breaks to know he's gone but never forgotten.
