Psalms 16:5-6 Lord, you have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.
Clifford L. Bean, 62, of Moses Lake, WA died on Wednesday, September 2, 2015 after a long, painful struggle with Prostate Cancer that metastasized to his bones and brain. He was surrounded by his family and friends who will miss him and cherish the life we shared together.
Clifford was born on February 26, 1953 in Aurora, Illinois to Rutherford and Ollie Bean. Clifford lived in San Leandro, CA with his mom for 8 years—this was a time that he found true friendship and really began to see life in a different light.
Clifford is survived by his wife Virginia White Bean of Moses Lake, WA; a son Jason Bean and his children: Jacob and Joslyn of Moses Lake, WA; and two daughters: Crystal Bean and her children: Destiny Hansen and Serenity Smith of Tacoma, WA; and Jennifer (Jeremy) Land of Abilene, KS. Clifford is also survived by a sister, Carol (Ken) Ridgway of Athens, AL; a brother Raymond (Candace) Bean of St. Charles, IL; and many aunts, uncles, nephews, and nieces.
Clifford was preceded in death by both of his parents: Rutherford Bean and Ollie Bean, a nephew, Stevie Ridgway, and a niece, Jana Hill.
Clifford won an award for Aurora’s First Annual Cruise Night, Best of Cruise – September 18, 1999. He loved to work on and ride motorcycles. He built a 750 custom Honda Hardtail and 550 Honda from ground up teaching his daughter, Jennifer who fell in love with small engine repair.
Clifford enjoyed working on various custom cars especially 1967-1979 Camaros and Mustangs. Clifford owned a 1979 Z28 Camaro and a 1969 Mustang that he cherished very much. He loved the classical car collections and enjoyed many car shows that we attended. Clifford loved to watch the Fast and Furious Collection.
Clifford enjoyed working on push and riding lawnmowers as he liked to tinker on all kinds of small motor engines.
Clifford loved to fish, boat, camp, travel, cook, and BBQ.
