In Loving memory of Timothy Ray Clifford Sr., Tim was born on November 28, 1958, in Ft. Thomas, Kentucky, to the late Charles T. and Dorothy M. (nee Ramsey) Clifford and passed away on Wednesday, October 23, 2024, at the age of 65. Tim was a devoted husband, loving father, and cherished grandfather. Tim’s life was marked by his unwavering commitment to his family and faith, where his dedication and passion for his work shone brightly and touched the lives of many.

Tim will be remembered for his unwavering dedication to his family as he was a devoted husband of Kelly Clifford for 44 years with whom he shared a deep and enduring love. Together, they created a home filled with love, laughter, and cherished moments. He was a loving father of Timothy (Chelsee) Clifford Jr., Lauren (Zac) Lay and Michelle (Cory) Loudenback. His role as a grandfather brought him immense joy, as he shared precious moments with Emma, Logan, Brendan, Addy, Lexi, Hailey, David, Maisee, and was eagerly awaiting the arrival of baby Charlotte in December. A dear brother of Tom (late Judy) Clifford and late Sandy (late Bill) Ake. He was also the son-in-law of Lois (late Thomas Jr.) Anderson and brother-in-law of Vicki (Joe) Linahan and Tom (Michele) Anderson. He was an uncle to many nieces and nephews, and a cherished friend to many. Timothy’s kind and giving nature, coupled with his love for his family, enriched the lives of all who knew him.

Throughout his life, Tim cherished his family above all else. He found joy in preparing meals for his loved ones and creating lasting memories during trips to the beach and Disney. A passionate golfer and fisherman, he embraced the simple pleasures of life and found solace in the beauty of nature.

He was a proud graduate of Colerain High School in 1977 and Indiana University in 1981, Tim held dear his time with his IU teammates, especially those from the 1979 Holiday Championship Team, where his loyalty and passion extended to his coaches and teammates fostering lasting bonds. 

A man of strong faith, Tim dedicated his life to his role as the Director of Stewardship & Parish Resources at St. Ann Church, where he lived out his passion for service and commitment to his Catholic faith. His commitment to his work and his family knew no bounds, and his legacy will continue to live on through the lives he touched.
