ELDER EDWARD EARL CLEVELAND passed away at 1:50 p.m. on Sunday, August 30, 2009 at the Huntsville Hospital in Huntsville, Alabama.
Funeral arrangements will be announced when available.
 
Cleveland had served the Seventh-day Adventist Church for more than 60 years as pastor, evangelist, church leader, teacher, civil rights leader, and mentor to thousands of preachers.
 
Cleveland began his pastoral ministry in 1942 in the Carolina Conference. He subsequently served as evangelist in the South Atlantic and Southern Union Conferences. From 1954-1977 he served as Associate Secretary of the Ministerial Association of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. After leaving the General Conference, he went to Oakwood College where he served as Director of the Department of Church Missions and as an Instructor in the Department of Religion.
 
Because of his legendary service to the Seventh-day Adventist ministry, Elder Cleveland was honored during the 2007 grand opening of the Bradford-Cleveland-Brooks Leadership Center on the campus of Oakwood University.
 
Please keep the Cleveland family in your prayers during this time of bereavement.
 
Funeral arrangements will be provided when available by the Southern Union Conference Communication Department on the Southern Union Conference and Oakwood University websites.
 
You may leave messages for the family by visiting the online guestbook.
