Clifford McKenna

Clifford Arthur McKenna, 59, of Oro Valley, AZ entered into the presence of the Lord and reunited with family who preceded him on August 24, 2026. Cliff was born on August 1, 1967, in Niagara Falls, NY. He was the beloved son of Ronald and Mary McKenna. Growing up Cliff was known for his kind heart toward animals and his adventurous spirit and shared an unbreakable bond with his siblings.
Cliff graduated from Rockford College (Now named Rockford University) in 1993 and then went on to complete his MBA in 1996. He had fulfilling careers in business and finance. Beyond his work, he had a true passion for hockey, hiking, fishing, writing and had a great sense of humor. He never left a conversation without telling a joke. Most importantly, Cliff had a deep love of his faith, attending church with family members and friends, reading the bible often all night long and reading Christian books to further strengthen his relationship with God. Additionally, what brought Cliff great joy was his reconnection with Michael Connolly.
He is survived by siblings Cathy McKenna, Rhonda Gill, Brother-in-law Gene Gill, Niece Charisa Brigham and Husband Chad, Nephew Clifford Sundstrom and Wife Natani, Ronny Sundstrom and Fiancé Cherise, and Nephew Billy Gill. And many cherished great-nieces and great-nephews.
He is preceded in death by his Mother Mary McKenna. Family and friends are welcome to gather for a celebration of life on January 9, 2027 at Rhonda and Gene's house, 11811 N Mabini Pl, Oro Valley, AZ 85737 at 6pm.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial donations be made in his honor to Tunnel to Towers. He had a special place in his heart for veterans and wanted to contribute to their service to our country.
