Clifford Edward Doetzel, Jr. passed peacefully into eternal rest on Friday, July 29, 2022 at the age of 88. He was a proud Navy Veteran who is survived by his wife of 60 years Sharon (nee Shannon). He was a loving father to Laura Doetzel Hanson, David (Carey) Doetzel, Dan Doetzel and the late Clifford Doetzel III; a dear brother to the late Linda Harris (Tom) and beloved Paw Paw to 8 loving grandchildren – Jessica Brown (Jake), Rachel Hanson, Joseph Hanson, Haley Doetzel, Gabrielle Doetzel, Alec Doetzel, Camryn Doetzel and Jackson Doetzel.
Cliff was a dear brother-in-law, uncle and friend to many. He loved playing practical jokes, buying and selling cars and spending time with his buddies at the Elks Club or at a local watering hole on Saturday afternoons. He was a gleeful tease and notoriously frugal – but he was always and unapologetically Cliff, and will be missed by all!!
