Michael John Clifford, age 74, passed away peacefully on the 30 th July 2018 at home in Paradise, Las Vegas, after a short battle with cancer.  Michael was born on the 26 th June 1944 to Michael and Iris Clifford in Ayr, Queensland, Australia and was the oldest of 6 boys. He was a much loved son and brother.  Michael had 2 beautiful daughters, the oldest Kim Louise who pre-deceased him in 1972 (aged 4yrs), and Michelle Gaye, who has been his pride and joy for all her life, and has been his principle carer throughout his illness.  Mick is survived by Michelle, her husband Dominic, and by 3 of his brothers, Peter, Greg and Bill.  Mick spent the majority of his working life in the oil field, where his experience and knowledge became highly sought after and appreciated. During these years he used Las Vegas as his home base where he has made many very special friendships.  Mick will be remembered for having a very sharp mind, a quick wit, and a real zest for life.  Mick will be very sadly missed by us all.  Michael’s funeral will be held at 4pm on Wednesday 8 th August 2018 at La Paloma Funeral Home, 5450 Stephanie Street, Las Vegas, Nevada.  Michelle and Family would like to thank the staff at Valley Hospital, and the staff at Nathan Adelson hospice for their care during her Dad’s illness and ask that in lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Nathan Adelson Hospice, 4141 Swenson Street, Las Vegas.
