Services for C leveland H aynes III, PhD., were held on
Jan. 26,2 0 0 9 at V ancouver A venue First B aptist Church.
He was bom on Dec. 24,1960, the beloved son o f Audrey
H ouston H aynes and C leveland H aynes Jr.
He was a m em ber o f V ancouver A venue First Baptist
C hurch until he relocated to Seattle and transferred his
m em bership to M ount Zion Baptist Church.
He was a graduate o f John A dam s H igh School, E ver
green State C ollege and The Union Institute. He loved the teaching
profession and was a teacher at M iddle College H igh School in Seattle.
In his youth he was very active and enjoyed participating in physical
activities that included dancing, cross country running, broad jum ping,
basketball and soccer to only nam e a few.
His m other affectionately described him as "passive aggressive" b e
cause he would attentively listen to the opinions o f others, then proceed to
follow his ow n calling.
He traveled extensively and an exam ple o f this was a trip to Brussels,
Belgium to give a presentation with his Aunt, Dr. A lice V ivian H ouston, at
the International C onference on Education. The title o f their presentation
was, “The Im pact o f C om puters w ith R eluctant W riters.” This presentation
was right up C leveland's alley, in that he was once a reluctant writer.
W hile w orking on his PhD in Education, C leveland was diagnosed with
M ultiple Sclerosis. H ow ever, he refused to give in or give up. He tirelessly
persevered until he achieved his goal o f earning his D octorate in Education.
He taught full tim e until M.S. robbed him o f his physical strength, causing
him to transition to w orking part tim e and subsequently forcing him to retire
from teaching.
He fought a courageous battle and our fam ily and friends learned so much
from his courage and patience. His family and friends all have trem endous
and everlasting love for him.
Dr. C leveland H aynes HI was preceded in death by his father and leaves
to m ourn his m other; a sister T oni D enise H aynes and a host o f uncles, aunts,
cousins and friends. He was a bright and shining star to all o f us. W e will
m iss him and hold his smile in our hearts always.

land, the fourth child o f Louis Jam es
M ayes Jr. and Lucille Elizabeth Brown.

He attended Boise Elementary School and laterG rant
High School. W hile growing up, he worked with his
father doing janitorial work and also worked at Califor
nia Snackery, a neighborhood store. He later w orked for
A BM Janitorial Service.
In 2005, he m arried Kristie G ates. Shawn entered the
m arriage with four wonderful children w hom he loved
and adored.
H is sense o f hum or brought laughter and sm iles to
many. He will most definitely be remembered for his fun-
loving and positive attitude.
O ne o f his favorite activities was playing basketball.

Dear Deanna!
I’ve met an older white guy who
treats m y son and me very well! He
gives me the attention I' ve longed for
in previous relationships. I'm cau
tious about pursuing a serious rela
tionship because o f past hurts. He
tells m e that he will never hurt my
child or m e and will treat m e as a
queen. My question is should 1 lower
my wall and allow a relationship to
happen? -S .B .; On-Line Reader
Dear S.B:
If this situation, regardless o f the
m an ’s age and color, has the poten
tial to be a healthy relationship for
you and your child then take the
risk. H ow ever you have the re
sponsibility o f discussing goals,
your c h ild 's future and the long
term p rospects o f this relationship.
Y o u 're in the honeym oon phase
right now and everything looks and
feels good. T ake your tim e, pay
attention and if this is w hat G od has
for you then it w ill be.
