Born on June 12, 1970, to Howard and Bonita Ann Dearing. Cliff was a truly good man. He was known for his kind heart, quick wit, and unwavering loyalty to those he loved. Cliff had a way of making people feel welcome and valued. He was never one to leave "I love you" unsaid. He lived for making people smile and laugh. That is what many will remember about him along with his kindness.
Above all else, Cliff loved his family. He was a devoted brother, son, nephew, cousin, and friend whose presence brought comfort, laughter, and loyalty to those around him. His strength and determination throughout his illness were an inspiration to everyone who knew him.
Cliff was preceded in death by his father Howard Dearing, his niece Kimberly Allen, his uncle Jerry "Buddy" Roberts, and his aunt Karleen Roberts.
He is survived by his mother Bonita Ann Roberts Dearing, twin brother Charles Dearing and his beloved wife Karen of Gatesville, Texas; two sisters and their husbands, Crystena and Jimmy Schneider of Leander, and Cheryl and Michael Starich of Georgetown, Texas; and many nieces, nephews, and cousins who will cherish his memory forever.
Though our hearts are broken by his passing, we take comfort in the memories he leaves behind and the genuine love he shared with all of us throughout his life. His legacy will live on in the lives he touched, and he will be deeply missed and forever remembered. A man like no other.
A service will be held on Saturday, June 20th at 2:00pm at Gentry’s Mill Cemetery, 859 County Road 108, Hamilton, Texas.
