Clifton Dwayne Smith Jr.

Clifton Dwayne Smith Jr., lovingly known as “Man Man,” was born on February 26, 1997, in Indianapolis, Indiana, to Clifton and Latoya Smith. He was raised alongside his siblings, Jamesha, Karetta, Raynesha Smith, and Jade Gates. Clifton was a smart, funny, and loving young man who cherished his family deeply. He enjoyed playing video games and spending time with his friends, creating memories filled with laughter and joy. His presence brought light to everyone around him, and he was loved by so many. At the age of 28, God called Clifton home and welcomed him into the gates of heaven. He would have celebrated his 29th birthday this year. Today, Clifton shines brightly in our hearts. We thank God for the time we were blessed to have with him. He will always remain in our prayers, our dreams, and our memories, and he will be deeply missed. Clifton was preceded in heaven by his grandmother, Loretta Yelladay; his grandfather, Henry Howard; and his aunt, Deborah Smith. He leaves behind countless family members and friends who will cherish his love and memory forever. God saw your struggle and called you home, and for that, our hearts can find peace. We love you always. Keep watching over us until we meet again. Forever our beloved son.
