Clifton Glover

Clifton Eugene Glover (born March 14, 1982) grew up in Akron and spent his life in the community that shaped him. Known to some by the nickname “Mook,” Clifton was a familiar face to neighbors and people who moved through his neighborhood. Public records list him as a 6'1", 205 lb African-American man with brown eyes and brown hair; those facts sketch a physical likeness, but do not capture the everyday roles he filled for family and friends.

As a lifelong resident of Akron, Clifton’s life was rooted in the city’s streets, routines, and relationships. While publicly available sources about his personal interests, work history, or immediate family are limited in the record, the details that are documented—his full name, birth date, and the community where he lived—attest to a life lived among others in Summit County. People who knew him would best recall his manner, his laughter, and the small but important ways he connected with those around him.

Clifton’s death on November 30, 2015, was a loss to those who loved him and to the neighborhoods where he belonged. That date is recorded in official public materials. Though the public record focuses on the circumstances surrounding his passing, it is important to remember Clifton first as a person of Akron whose life mattered beyond headlines or files.

This page is a quiet remembrance of Clifton’s life: brief, respectful, and centered on his identity as a son of Akron. If you have memories, photographs, or stories of Clifton that his family or community should have preserved, consider sharing them with relatives or local memorial projects so that the fullness of his life can be remembered beyond the limited public record.
