Cliff was born on May 20, 1955 in Columbus, GA. After graduating from high school, he served his country proudly in the United States Navy. Afterwards, Cliff was employed by South Georgia Natural Gas where he worked as a maintenance technician.
Cliff enjoyed spending time in the great outdoors. Sightseeing, water sports, and shooting guns were some of his favorite hobbies. In addition, he enjoyed collecting antiques. Cliff made Central Baptist his church home. He was a very active and enthusiastic member of this congregation. This wonderful man with a heart of gold was dearly loved by his family and friends. Emilee was the joy of her “Boppy’s” life. She brightened his day even when he felt bad. Cliff will be greatly missed by all who knew him and whose lives he so deeply touched.
Clifford is preceded in death by his stepbrother, William Crisp.
Survivors include his loving and devoted wife of 43 years, Lynn Turner; son, Matthew Turner (Virginia) of Columbus, GA; parents, Bill and Reba Crisp of Pine Mountain, GA; sisters, Leigh Vanderels of Atlanta, GA and Julie McCann (West) of Naples, FL; granddaughter, Emilee Turner; mother and father-in-law, W.A. and Martha Hobbs; brothers-in-law, Danny Hobbs and Leroy Hobbs (Teresa); numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins; a host of friends; and his fur baby, “Lady”.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Central Baptist Church, 8303 Whitesville Rd, Columbus, GA, 31904.

I will definitely miss seeing my neighbor come and go as he always would hearing his truck crank up. He was very good to my son and gave him packs of fudge sickles every other week and said don’t let your parent eat them all up. Lol I’m sorry Mr. Cliff that you won’t be hearing me raise cain on the phone late at night telling me to calm down some but I know you’ll still do it in heaven. You will be missed by many. I’ll never forget the time you said move your car next door and I said why and he said I’m about to cut yalls grass I’m tired of looking at it. Lol

Our prayers are with the family tonight.В I can hardly believe just a couple of weeks ago that Cliff was so vibrate and happy at our Christmas party.В He will be soВ missed at our club meetings each Tuesday night.В He was such a motivator andВ a great influence to each and every club member.В Cliff had moved into his role of leadership with such ease and authority. I remember one of our favorite topics of conversation was about the church and its influence in both our lives.В I have no doubt that Cliff is in heaven and the angels are rejoicing in his homecoming.....RIP our friend....Mary Joy and Phillip Oliver

Clifford Eugene Turner, Cliff, Corky, Mr. Turner, Boppy... A man of so many names because he filled our hearts in so many ways. As much as you'd think he tried to be a fly on the wall one couldn't ignore his hellacious personality that swept over any room with a certain charm, captivating the young and not so young.В
