Christopher Ralph Clifton, 60, passed away on November 17, 2025, at his home in Overland, Missouri.

Born on June 20, 1965 in St. Louis. Chris lived life his own special way. Chris enjoyed cars and could fix almost anything. He was a St. Louis Cardinals and St. Louis Blues fan. Watching games around the television and cheering from home were great times. A true enthusiast of Mountain Dew, Chris's favorite drink was never far from reach.

Chris had a special place in his heart for dogs and shared a particularly close bond with his beloved dog, Casey. His affection, attention, and caretaking for dogs reflected his kind spirit and loyal nature.

He is lovingly remembered by his children: Christal Clifton (Brad Boisseau), Daniel Marsh, and Joe Hendrickson. He also leaves behind his mother, Christine Clifton; and sister, Debbie Taylor. Chris was dear friends with Stephanie and Todd Kroger. The family would also like to thank Dee, Chris' trusted caregiver for many years.  Chris was preceded in death by his father, Ralph Clifton, and sister, Janice Clifton.

May Christopher Ralph Clifton's memory bring comfort to those who knew him and continue to live on through the stories shared by family and friends.

A celebration of life is planned for a later date.

Anyone wanting to honor Chris' memory please do so by sending a donation to a canine charity of your choice.
