Arthur Cleveland

Art is survived by his wife of 38 years, Leslie Cleveland; sons, Cory, Clay, and Cabot (Teena) Cleveland; daughters, Connie Bates (David), Cindy Newell (Brooks), and Carrie Carpenter (Keith); step-children, David Carter Jr (Carolyn), Kenneth Carter (Laura), and Shirley Browder (Jamie); numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren; sister, Cara Johnson (Vernon); and lifelong friends that he shared his love of trail riding with.

Preceded in death by parents, WL and Bertie Cleveland; brother, Wayne Cleveland; daughter-in-law, Kristi Cleveland, and grandsons Colton Newell and Brandon Carter. Arthur Lee wore many hats in his lifetime; as a farmer, carpenter, teamster, and boilermaker, but his most rewarding of all was being a father to his children and grandchildren. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him. A special thanks to the wonderful staff of Modern Hospice, for the assistance in his care during his final days.
