Clifford Martin 'Marty' Welder, 81, of Grampian, went to be with our Lord on October 1, 2023.
He was born on July 12, 1942 at home in Grampian, a son of the late Clifford Issac and Fay Elda (Hartzfeld) Welder.
Clifford loved hunting and spending time with his friends at Best's Camp. He had a love for Dodge trucks and if you couldn't find him, he was usually out on backroads.
Clifford was a self-taught diesel mechanic and worked for Robert Cole Trucking for over 40 years.
He is survived by his wife, Ruth Ann (Ritz) Welder; seven daughters, Tammy Barnyak and husband Greg, Susan Stiles and husband William, Georgia Rang and husband Craig, Martina, Joanna, Dorothy and Megan; nineteen grandchildren and six great grandchildren.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by three brothers, Richard, LeRoy, and Clair; two sisters, Ruby and Rosie; and two grandchildren, Jordan Rang and Danielle Moriarity.
A celebration of life will be planned for a later date.
