I lived next door to Mike and Mark and remember building tree forts with them and just running around the neighborhhod.  It is sad to hear of this news.  To Ms. Dedes, Mark and the rest of his family my sincerest condolences.

Dear Bunny -
I am so sorry to hear about Michael.  I have such fond memories of he and Mark hanging out with my VJ, Paige and Dan during the years they were together in Salem and East Lyme.  Michael and Paige were quite the pair - always up to no good.
Paige passed away in May of 2008, the result of a motorcycle accident - so I know what you are going through - and I send you strength and wishes for good days and restful nights.  Be grateful for every day you had him in your life, and keep him in your heart.
I will always smile when I think of his adorable, smiling face........

My condolences to all of Mike's family. He will be sorely missed.

I was blessed to have known Mike, and will cherish all of the times we spent together. He was a great friend, and there was never a dull moment when Mike was around! He was a great artist and his spirit will live on in each timeless piece of art he created! Rest in Peace Cliff!

Having worked with Mike for several years, I have nothing but fond memories of him. I can still hear him laughing over an inside joke or talking about the latest Jags news. He was talented, friendly and well liked. Mike, you will be missed.

I have known Mike over past 4 years working at Football Fanatics. He was very ceative and talented, his designs for our website were always refreshing. I will miss him.

I remember when Mike started at Football Fanatics and he worked in the same area as our group. I'll miss him showing up for our tailgate parties at the Jaguars games. Au revoir my friend~

Condolences go out to Mike's family. As a co-worker he was always there to lighten up the situation no matter how tense things were, and he always delivered when we counted on him.  He will truly be missed in our offices and in our lives.

My thoughts and prayer go out to his family and friends.
He will be missing at the office

Mike was a good friend and co-worker.  We had some good times together both at and outside of work. Mike had a great smile and great sense of humor as well as being a very talented designer. I'll miss you buddy.  He and his family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Please accept my most heartfelt sympathy for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time. I had the privilege of working with Mike the past few years; he was very talented and passionate about his work.  I have always loved his designs and always will.

It was a distinct privilege watching Mike grow, both personally and professionally.  He had such amazing talent, and could always be counted on in the clutch.  Clifton was without a doubt the best designer in our entire industry, and is often imitated and copied.  It was an honor to work with him for so long; I'm just so sad that he's moved on.  We'll miss you, Mike.

Mike worked with me at Football Fanatics.  He was incredibly talented.  I remember seeing Mike at a Jaguars game and holding my daughter because he made her laugh.  I will miss him greatly and hope he is in peace.  God bless you Mike.

I feel fortunate to have called Mike a friend. He was genuine, passionate and caring. We shared many good times together, and I will cherish them always. My sincere condolences go out to his family. Clifton will be missed dearly.
