Clifton Lataine Brasher

Clifton LaTaine Brasher aka Clif the Mac Tool Man.

 Clif was well known throughout central Arizona as “The Mac Tool Man”. He sold tools to shops, mechanics, schools and to anyone in between who was in need of that “special” tool, from his tool truck. Clif sold Mac Tools from 1980 until he retired in 2007. 

Clif moved to Prescott in 1979 from Allen Park, Michigan. In Allen Park he worked for Hornet Remer in the tool and die industry. He was a jack of all trades, yet a master of few. Clif remolded his home, built a canoe that he and another very large man could not tip and when he needed to repair something that he didn’t know about it took college classes to learn to fix it. Clif was also a novice photographer and in his spare time photographed weddings and did portraits. 

Clif was preceded in death by his wife Ruth Ann (Phelps). His children Kellie and Lisa Gartner will miss him greatly as well as his five grandchildren, Kirt, Carrie and Katie Gartner and Taryn and Jacob Brasher. He was a central piece in all their lives.
