Joan E. Molleker

Cliff LaMar Summers returned with
honor to our loving Heavenly Father on the morning of September 5, 2020, after
a long and courageous battle with Inclusion Body Myositis. Cliff was born
September 17, 1948, in Idaho Falls, Idaho, to LaMar and Cleo (Johnson) Summers.
Men wanted to be like him, women wanted him, but ultimately Janell Swagerty
stole his heart. They were united in marriage on February 4, 1968, in Hugoton,
Kansas. In October 1972, they were sealed for time and all eternity in the
Idaho Falls Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Janell
was his sweetheart. They built a beautiful life together, worked through hard
times, good times and grew closer to one another. They look forward to spending
eternity together.

Cliff joined the United States Navy
in November 1967, during the Vietnam conflict. He proudly served his country
aboard the USS Brister, USS Samuel Gompers, and USS Ernest G. Small. He was
stationed in San Diego, California and Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. 

Cliff was a member of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He served in various callings including
Bishop, High Council, and Temple Worker just to name a few. He was always
serving and trying to lighten the burdens of others. He loved the Savior and
always tried to follow his example.

He was a very devoted father.
Always making it to his children’s activities. He was the unofficial referee of
GBHS football 87-89 and 93-96. Sporting his own uniform and making the “correct
calls” from the stands. He and Janell were involved in the Panther Booster Club
and served as co-presidents at one time.

Working in the oil and gas industry
for 48 years afforded him many friendships from all over. He was a past member
of the Society of Petroleum Engineers, American Petroleum Institute, and Lions
Club. 

To most, he was known as Cliffie,
but his favorite title was that of Papa. A name he proudly honored. He adored
his 17 grandchildren and they all knew that they were loved by him. Daxton,
Cale, Ryan, Chance, Sydney, Shiloh, Caden, Reiss, Sloane, Bo, Kimber, Hunter,
Koltin, Madison, Jack, Sammy, and Jensen. 

Here’s to one amazing guy who was
always fully present, freely sharing all that he had and forever focused on
others. Tough to lose such a friend as this and thankfully, in Christ there are
no final goodbyes.

Survivors include, wife of the
home; two sons; Shane Summers (Angie) of Salina, KS and Dustin Summers
(Briannie) of Darlington, ID; three daughters, Stephanie Summers of Lehi, Utah,
Liberty Miller (Scott) of American Fork, UT and Traci Fleming (Nate) of Great
Bend, KS; seventeen wonderful grandchildren; mother and step-father Leo and
Cleo Amy of Howe, ID; three brothers, Allan Summers (Debbie) of Blackfoot, ID,
Dee Amy (Juliette) of Howe, ID and Kelly Amy (Cheryl) of Howe, ID; one sister, Sherry
Smith (Dean) of Bancroft, ID.&nbsp; He is
preceded in passing by his father, LaMar Summers, and son-in-law, Daniel
Sanford.

He will be greatly missed for he
was greatly loved.

Funeral services will be 1:00 p.m.
Wednesday September 9, 2020, at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints, Great Bend, with military honors conducted by the U.S. Navy Honor
Guard.&nbsp; Bishop Peter Solie will be presiding.&nbsp; Interment will be at a later date in Howe, ID.&nbsp; Visitation will be 4:00 – 9:00 p.m. Tuesday
