Cliff was born on July 20, 1954 at St. Anthony's Memorial Hospital, Effingham, Illinois. He was the son of the late Arthur "Jim" and Marcella (Haarman) Bierman. He married Sandy Lewis on August 21, 1976 at St. Joseph Catholic Church, Island Grove, Illinois.
Cliff was a member of the St. Isidore the Farmer Parish and has served on the parish council. He was also a member of the choir at St. Isidore the Farmer Parish, as well as the men's sodality. Cliff was a graduate of Dieterich High School and earned a bachelors degree from the University of Illinois. He served on the school board at the Dieterich Unit #30 for 12 years, 10 of which being president. He was a member of Lucas Township district and has served as Trustee and was currently the Supervisor. He was a member of the Effingham County Pork Producers.
Cliff's pride and joy was spending time with his family and friends, especially his 8 grandchildren. He grew up farming and continued on with his dream of having his own farm and raising livestock. He enjoyed horse camping, especially in Southern Illinois. His recent passion was driving his Haflinger ponies, and his future goal was to raise them for his grandchildren so they could share in his hobby. Cliff always looked forward to attending and being involved in the Effingham County Fair with his family. He enjoyed golfing with his friends. Cliff was best known for his approachable personality and his witty sense of humor. Family, friends and neighbors looked to Cliff for his ability to listen and his sound advice. He was an avid sports fan and he enjoyed cheering on his children's teams, as well as the Fighting Illini.
