Michael Allan Clift

Michael Allan Clift, lovingly known as "Michael T," passed away on February 5, 2025, in Alta Vista, Kansas, at the age of 67. 

Born on September 4, 1957, in Sacramento, California, Michael graduated from Del Oro High School in Loomis, California. He continued his education at Butte College in Oroville California, where he earned an Associate of Arts (AA) degree in Graphic Design.

A proud veteran of the United States Army, Michael served his country with dedication. Beyond his military service, he had a deep love for music and found joy in attending live concerts. He was also an avid movie enthusiast, with *The Wizard of Oz* holding a special place in his heart. His love for animals was evident in the way he cared for dogs and cats, especially his beloved dog Molly. 

Michael's faith was an important part of his life; as a devoted Christian, he prayed faithfully for others. His kindness and loving nature touched many lives, and he will be deeply missed by those who knew him. 

He is survived by his former wife, Beth Clift of Council Grove, Kansas; daughter Michelle Clift of Council Grove; son Daniel Clift of Council Grove; grandchildren Asia, Anthony, and Isabella; great-grandson Crew; and sisters Laurie Dell and Lavonne Haddad of Auburn, California, and Dayna Clift of Alta Vista, Kansas. He was preceded in death by his parents, Richard Clift and Carol Brace, as well as his sister June Voight. 

Michael will be forever cherished by his family and friends. Rest in peace, Michael T—you will always be held close in our hearts.
