This Obituary Has 3 Condolences

  1. Cleveland was the most wonderful husband to Misty, fabulous father to Tyra and the other 9 children of their marriage. Best of all, he was our heart and soul in our whole family. We always considered him our “son” even though he was our son-in-law. He was strong, reverent, and exceled at any sport he put his mind to. We shall always cherish the memories we have had with him the past 16 years. Our heart goes out to Misty and all of his family members near and far. He is now at peace and the family’s guardian angel. We have had so much love and support from all of our families and friends which is very important to us. We Love You Cleveland! RIP

  2. Misty I’m so sorry for your loss. Cleveland was a good man. I worked with Cleveland at CEA.

  3. Misty, Carl and I are so sorry to hear of Bro. Young (as we called him) passing. He was such a big, swwet guy. Always had a smile, and made some awsome monster cookies as he called them. He will be dearly missed. Such a good, good man! Our heart and prayers are with you and your daughter. Praying for peace and comfort. Carl is also sending you a message on FB to get your address. Sincere condolences, Sheilah Sutton
