Michael Cleveland, former resident of Monticello, NY passed away unexpectedly at his home in Schenectady, NY. He was 61.
The son of the late Grover Cleveland and Jerleane Ellis Cleveland, he was born September 17, 1963, in Monticello.
He was a home health aide and staff trainer with All Metro for over 25 years. With empathy at the core of his care, Michael believed each of his clients had a right to dignity and respect without exception to their circumstances.
Two sisters, Joyce Bennett (Demetrius) of Buffalo, NY and Nancy Cleveland of Hyde Park NY survive him; and several nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents, a brother predeceased him: Johnny Cleveland; and a sister: Dana Cleveland Grace.
Per his wishes, he will be cremated, and the interment of his ashes will be held in the family plot at Rock Ridge Cemetery in Monticello.
Michael, your special and wonderful memories will remain in all our hearts and minds. You will be truly missed and never forgotten.
Arrangements are under the direction of the VanInwegen-Kenny, Inc. Funeral Home of Monticello. For additional information or to send an online condolence, please visit www.kennyfuneralhome.com To send flowers to the family or plant a tree in memory of Michael, please visit our floral store.
