In Memoriam: Clifford Eugene Herr (July 25, 1932 – May 13, 2022)

Clifford Eugene Herr, 89, of Silverton, Oregon passed away peacefully on May 13, 2022. Clifford was born on July 25, 1932, in Salem, Oregon to Edith (Lichty) and Ralph Herr of Silverton, Oregon.

Clifford grew up on a farm outside Central Howell, Oregon, attended Silverton High School, Seattle Pacific College and spent time in the U.S. Army at Fort Lewis in Lakewood, Washington before returning to work on and expand the family farm.  

He was passionate about hiking, fishing and being in the outdoors, a love that he shared with his family. Clifford believed profoundly in the importance of being active and healthy, and at the age of 89 could still be seen riding a bicycle or working in his garden. He shared a love of traveling to national parks, cruises to Alaska and especially trips to Hawaii with his wife, Norma, traveling to the islands 26 times.

Clifford was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Loren. He is survived by his wife, Norma (Kleman); daughter, Cheryl (David) Molstad; son, Greg (Donna) Herr; daughter, Jan Anderson (Steve Francks); son, Stan (Sarah) Herr; ten grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

No services will take place, as Clifford requested.
