Steven L. Cleveland

Steven L. Cleveland, 64, of Dallas, Oregon died on September 22, 2008 after a courageous 10 year battle with cancer. Steve was born in Nappanee, IN on December 3, 1943 to Charles and Ruth (Miller) Cleveland. Steve graduated from Nappanee High School in 1961. In April 1964, Steve married the love of his life, Rosalie Clauss. She survives along with their two children, Brad of Chicago, IL and Shelley (Mike) Salrin of Turner, OR. He had one grandchild, Veronica Salrin, who he adored. He is also survived by his sisters, Sandy (Dave) Haist and Susan (John) Weber. He was preceded in death by his parents. Steve attended Grace Community Church. He enjoyed his two cats, Frank and Jet who will miss him terribly. He loved the sound of the ocean and the rain, making Oregon a good fit for him! He worked in the “car business” most of his life, and loved working with people to get them a fair deal. He retired in 2000 and moved to Las Vegas where he enjoyed attending the NASCAR race every year he could. After realizing a grandchild might be in his future, he and Rosalie moved to Oregon in 2005. He was delighted with the people he met in Dallas, Oregon and really felt the town suited him.

Visitation will be held at 1:00 followed by funeral services at the Mishler Funeral Home in Bremen, Indiana on Thursday, October 2nd at 2:00 pm and will be officiated by Pastor Norm Reimer. Burial will be at the Bremen Cemetery.
