“Clifford Michael Clinton, 76, passed away on February 15, 2025. Born on December 20, 1948, in Douglasville, Georgia, he was the son of the late Nellie Janette Harrison and Clifford Harrell Clinton.
Michael was one of seven children and a devoted husband to his wife, Shirley Nicholson Clinton of 56 years. He was a proud and loving father to his seven children - Christopher, Kristina, Rachel, Jonathan, Rebekah, Joshua, and Isaac - and a cherished grandfather to eighteen grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. His family was the center of his world, and he instilled in them the values of honesty, hard work, and curiosity. A man after God's own heart, he had an unshakable faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, and became an ordained minister in January 1979.
Those who knew Michael will remember his intelligence, warm humor, and unwavering character. He had a gift for making people laugh and imparting wisdom, always eager to share a story or a lesson learned. His presence will be deeply missed, but his legacy of craftsmanship, knowledge, and love for family will live on in all who had the privilege of knowing him.”
