Obituary for Clifford John Sever
SEVER, Clifford
1939 – 2021
Mr. Clifford John Sever passed away on Friday, February 18, 2022 at the age of 82 years. Clifford was born, March 6, 1939, and raised on his family farm at the Strachan District, Alberta. He was a third-generation cattle farmer, and he attended Pleasantvale School, as well as Rocky High School. After school, he worked at various lumber camps in British Columbia and mostly lumber camps in the Rocky Mountain House area. Clifford cleared an agriculture quarter and sawed all of the timber off of it, starting his farming career. He was married to Gloria Melissa Gray and last December they celebrated their fifty-seventh Wedding Anniversary. Family gatherings and Sunday meals were always an enjoyment, as well as late night poker games with his friends and neighbors.
