Abraham Ugene Michael Cleaver LUBBOCK-Abraham Ugene Michael Cleaver Abe, 21, of Lubbock, passed away on Jan. 1, 2014. Abe was born on June 18, 1992, to Michael Cleaver and Francene Goodson in Lubbock, Texas. Abe attended and graduated from Estacado High School, class of 2010. Abe was an exceptional athlete who played fullback and defensive end for Estacado. Abe had a warm and bright smile, was very well mannered and always seemed to uplift his family and friends. Those who had the pleasure of knowing him will truly miss his presence. Abe was preceded in death by his grandfathers, James Lee and Arthur Richards. He leaves to cherish his memories: his mother, Francene Goodson; father, Michael Cleaver; two sons, A'bravion Cleaver and Aun'Trell Cleaver; one sister, Janie Hicks; his grandmothers, Louise Lee and Deloise Richards; and a host of cousins, relatives and friends. Celebration of life services will be held on Tuesday, Jan. 7, 2014, at 11 a.m. at Community Baptist Church. Interment will follow in City of Lubbock Cemetery under the direction of Griffin Mortuary. Visitation will be held today, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Griffin Mortuary.

Abe you will be truly missed by a lot of people that knew you we will all miss that beautiful smile. Praying that God gives your family the strength, peace and understanding that is needed to help carry them through this difficult time. I won't say sorry for your loss because Abe is a child of God and as a child of God we are not loss just finishing up the assignment he sent for us to complete. So sleep on Abe see you in the morning enjoy your mansion that has been for you.

To Abe's family,
We're so very sorry for your loss. At such times of sorrow we may ask, "Will I ever see or embrace my loved one again?"
Jesus answers at John 11:11-44 saying
"Lazarus! Come on out! AND HE DID.
