Cliffton Morris Fischbach Jr. (1941-2008) was a U.S. Army officer and father to Mark Fischbach, also known as "Markiplier."
He was born on June 8, 1941 in Louisville, Kentucky to American parents of German descent; Dr. Cliffton Morris Fischbach Sr., a colonel in the U.S. Army who served during World War II and the Korean War, and Flora Marie Doom Fischbach. As a military officer, Cliffton served in the U.S. Army for either 23 or 24 years. While stationed in South Korea, Cliffton met Sunok, his future wife. Some time after, the couple moved to the United States, where they got married and had two sons, Thomas and Mark. Following Mark's birth, Cliffton retired from the military to pursue a job as a layout artist for a book company and the family ended up relocating to Cincinnati, Ohio.
After several years of family-related quarrels, Cliffton and Sunok divorced and were forced to sell the house due to financial issues. In his later life, Cliffton married Dee, who Mark described as "the nicest person [they've] ever met." Around 2007, Cliffton was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. On the early morning of July 4, 2008, Mark and Thomas were woken up by their stepmother's scream. Running downstairs, the two found their father on his deathbed. After a year long battle with cancer, Cliffton died at his home, surrounded by his family, with his final words to them: "I love you, so much." Cliffton's funeral services were held at Milford First United Methodist Church and he was buried in Evergreen Cemetery in Miamiville, Ohio.
