Our family is shattered by his sudden passing on December 23rd, just before Christmas. We need your help to give him the peaceful farewell he deserves.

Hello, my name is Clifford James Jr. With a heart that feels impossibly heavy, I share the news that my beloved father, Clifford James Sr., passed away on December 23, 2025. After a courageous and private battle with both congestive heart failure and cancer, his body could fight no longer.

Our family is now facing the profound grief of his absence, compounded by the unexpected financial burden of giving him a proper funeral. The costs we anticipated for his care have now transformed into immediate funeral and burial expenses. We are determined to honor his memory with a service that reflects the loving and resilient man he was, but we cannot do it alone.

Every single donation will go directly to:

· Covering the basic funeral home and burial costs

· Ensuring a modest but meaningful service to gather and remember him

· Settling the final medical expenses that accumulated in his last days

· Allowing our family the space to grieve without the overwhelming stress of financial panic

My father was our rock. To have lost him so suddenly, especially during the holidays, has left us heartbroken and unprepared. We are turning to our community, friends, and even kind strangers for support.

Please, if you can find it in your heart, consider donating any amount. No sum is too small. If you are unable to give, sharing this fundraiser with your network is an incredible way to help. By sharing, you extend our reach to those who might hold us in their hearts.

From the bottom of our grieving hearts, thank you for your love, your prayers, and for helping us navigate this darkest of times. Your kindness is the light we desperately need.

With deepest gratitude,

Clifford James Jr. & Family
