Clifford D. Sane Jr

Preceding him in death is his parents Clifford D Sane SR and Sharlene (Berry) Sane, His sister Shelley Cruz along with his Grandparents. Many say “To know Clifford was to love Clifford”. Cliff was born on December 27, 1969 in Cleveland, Ohio to the late Mr. and Mrs. Sane. From the beginning, he seemed to have a spark that others didn’t. He was the life of the party- not because he demanded the spotlight, but because his smile and his laughter were so infectious they could light up the darkest room. He had a rare gift: he never met a stranger. Whether he was at work or just out in the community, he made friends everywhere he went. He saw the best in people, and in return, people couldn't help but want to be around him. Cliff was a man of movement and hard work. Many knew him from his years as a dedicated truck driver in the dump truck division at Charles Blalock and Sons. He eventually took that work ethic and turned it into his own legacy as the owner of T&C Transportation and Staffing LLC. But life wasn't all work for Cliff. If it was a Saturday in the fall, you knew exactly where he was and who he was rooting for. He was a die-hard UT fan, bleeding orange and white through every win and loss. Beyond the business and football games, Cliff’s heart belonged to his family. He was a devoted husband, a loving father, and a great friend. He was a mentor, a jokester, and a steady hand for anyone who needed him. Clifford Sane lived a life that was full- full of laughter, full of miles on the road, and full of love. While the world feels a little dimmer without his smile today, we carry that light forward in our own memories of him. Left to cherish and carry on his memory is his partner and wife Tracy Sane, his daughter Taylor (Chris) , his son Zachary, His bonus children Nikki (JR), Christy (Tim), Douglas (Mikala), Jamison (Bradley).
