Michael Edward Cleveland's Obituary
Michael Edward Cleveland, beloved husband, father, brother, and friend, passed away on February 21, 2026, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He was born on August 4, 1961, in Tulsa to Thomas Edward and Lois Imogene (Brumley) Cleveland.
Michael built a life defined by dedication, love, and quiet strength. He worked as a weaver machine operator, a role he took pride in and approached with the same steady commitment he brought to every part of his life. Outside of work, Michael found joy in the simple things that mattered most to him-music that lifted his spirit, peaceful days spent fishing, and the companionship of his dogs.
Above all, he cherished time with his family and devoted himself to caring for his wife, Annette. He is survived by his loving wife, Annette Cleveland; his son, Jacob Cleveland, and Jacob's fiancée, Tabitha Law; his daughter, Kimberley Renee Cleveland, and boyfriend Brian Hall; grandchildren, Haylee and Alexis; his brothers, Ronnie L. Cleveland and wife Cathy, and Tony Cleveland and wife Peggy; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins who will carry his memory forward.
Michael was preceded in death by his parents, Thomas and Lois Cleveland, whom he loved deeply. A Celebration of Life Memorial Service will be at 2:30 PM, Monday, March 2, 2026, at Community Freewill Baptist Church, Kiefer, OK.
Michael's presence, kindness, and unwavering love will be profoundly missed by all who knew him. His memory will remain a source of comfort and strength in the days ahead.
