Dr. LeRoy Haynes Jr. In Loving Memory ©fatuarWS Family and Friends Day In Loving Memory Cleveland Haynes III, PhD Shawn Anthony Mayes 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. A rrangem ents entrusted by Cox and Cox Funeral Chapel.
