Clifford Keith Redus, age 90, passed away at home on December 16, 2021.  He was born on February 20, 1931 in Devine, Texas to John C. Sr. and Hazel Redus.  He was predeceased by six brothers and four sisters.  He began his life of hard work as a boy in the irrigated peanut, tomato and melon fields of Devine.  After graduating from Devine High School, he enlisted in the United States Navy, in which he proudly served for 22 years.  Upon his retirement from the Navy, he attended San Diego State University and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in history.   At this time, the family returned to Texas, and he became employed by Seton Medical Center in Austin as a materials management supervisor.  After retirement from Seton, he spent his time working on his home property and loved being outdoors.  He was a good man and liked by all.
