and Samuel Seeger, sister, Ashley Seeger (deceased), mother, Andree Seeger, Uncle to

Clifton was born in Houston, Texas, on September 14, 1978. He attended Elementary
school in Cypress, Texas and Canyon Lake, Texas and Junior High @ Smithson Valley,
Texas. Clifton graduated High School from Mayde Creek High School in Katy, Texas where
he played football for head coach & athletic director, Joe Sheffy.
After High School Clif attended Northwood University in Cedar Hill, Texas while also
working summers for his great uncle in the automobile business in San Antonio, Texas.
He graduated Sigma Cum Laude in three years in addition to playing soccer for
Northwood University. After graduation, Clifton worked in the automobile business
for his great uncle in San Antonio and later in New Orleans, La. Some time prior
to hurricane Katrina, Clifton left the auto business & returned home to Katy, Texas
for a short time working with his father in the construction business building hotels.
When Clifton received a job offer from Todd DeMonte who Clifton worked with in New
Orleans, Clifton decided to accept Todd’s offer in Madison, Wisconsin and began his
journey working for his friend and mentor in Wisconsin. Todd was a most positive
influence and Clifton grew & blossomed in the business world. It was during this
time working with Todd that Clifton also received his Masters’ Degree from the
University of Wisconsin, Madison. Go Badgers! Todd & Clifton remained close friends
to this day. Clifton most recently worked for American Extraction & thoroughly
enjoyed the people and the challenges the job presented.
Clifton enjoyed sports, the lake, his boat, and spending time on the lake with family
& friends. He enjoyed teaching the younger ones to ski, wake boarding & boating
operations & safety. Clifton was an avid New Orleans Saints fan.
Clifton’s love for his daughter was immeasurable and he supported her in all
endeavors including dancing, school, sports & traveling to near and far places
learning new subjects. Clif worked so hard to ensure Zaida attended an elite private
school and was her biggest fan and most proud of her academic excellence, leadership
and community involvement. Their favorite thing to do together was to attend UW
volleyball games.
Clifton always missed his home state of Texas and his family there, but chose to
live and work in Wisconsin near his daughter & friends. Clifton was funny, smart,
generous and a team player.
Please keep Clifton alive in your heart and speak of him often and keep him in your
prayers.
