Clifford Charles Crain Jr. passed away at home surrounded by his family on Saturday, April 5, 2025.
Cliff was the third of five children born to Clifford and Alice Crain. He was preceded in death by his parents; two sisters, Joyce and June; brother, Bill; and eldest son, Clifford Crain III.
Cliff is survived by his loving family: wife of 42 years, Christine; sons, Joe, Christopher (Anne), Avery (Harley), and Billy (Amy); daughter, Ashley (Rob); granddaughters, Sarah, Anna and Sage; only grandson and namesake, Haden; and his favorite little man, Lachlan.
For over 50 years Cliff was a licensed electrician, plumber and contractor. Cliff was devoted to his family. He was never happier than when his family was together. Cliff was a man of strong faith. He looked at life as the beginning, not the end.
Per Cliff’s request, there will be no services.
Anyone wishing to honor his memory may donate to the American Lung Association, 55 W. Wacker Drive, Suite 1150, Chicago, IL 60601.
The family is so thankful for the amazing care extended by Dr. Vishal Patel and Dr. Cirino-Marcono.
