In 2017, June started to study the Bible with Jehovah's Witnesses. He mentioned how interesting and enjoyable Gentry Parks made his studies. Due to his ongoing medical illness, Cliff did not reach his goal of becoming a baptized Witness of Jehovah God.

Cliff learned to do drywalling from an apprenticeship, and he was a skilled painter. He was exceptionally good at his job and took pride in his work. Cliff was very devoted to his children and grandchildren. He was kind to all.

Cliff died knowing that he has the hope of the Resurrection in harmony with what’s stated in the Bible of Acts 24:15 which states “And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.”

Cliff was cremated on March 30, 2024.
