Clifford John Bowles

Cliff lived a full and meaningful life, bringing joy to those around him with his kindness, humor, and unwavering love for family and friends.

Cliff dedicated his career to the liquor industry, working as a salesman for his entire professional life. He took pride in his work, building lasting relationships and always bringing a friendly spirit to those he met.

Beyond his career, Cliff had a deep passion for golf and could often be found on the course enjoying the game he loved. He was also a devoted Arizona State University football fan and held season tickets for many years, rarely missing a chance to cheer on his Sun Devils.

Cliff also volunteered with Scouting America (formerly Boy Scouts of America). As an Eagle Scout himself, he played an important role in the Grand Canyon Council’s Central/Metro Community as a member of the Eagle Board of Review, helping guide and mentor the next generation of Eagle Scouts.

He is survived by his brother, Carl; his daughter, Marlana; and his son, Jason, along with Jason’s wife, Amy, and their children Anna, Jude, Levi, Zane, and Bode who brought immense joy to his life.

Cliff’s legacy will live on through the love he shared, the laughter he inspired, and the memories held dear by all who knew him. He will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

Please join us for Mass in Cliff’s honor on March 27, 2025, at 10:30 a.m. at St. Daniel’s the Prophet Catholic Church, 1030 N. Hayden Road, Scottsdale, where family and friends can gather to pray for his eternal rest.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Scouting America in Cliff’s honor, supporting the Grand Canyon Council’s mission to develop future leaders. Donations can be made at: https://www.scoutingaz.org/friends-of-scouting.
