Shawn Ty Cleveland was born August 4, 1969 in Savannah, Georgia to Eloise and Nathaniel Cleveland. Shawn sadly passed on August 28, 2024 at the age of 55. Shawn lived an excitedly fulfilling life. He was a strong and giving man that never met a stranger. Shawn always looked out for his friends, supporting their dreams whether it be a becoming a musician or small business owner. He was there.

Shawn is survived by his mother Eloise; son Derrick Cleveland; two daughters Tyshawna and Shawnese Cleveland. Shawn leaves behind his sisters and brother; Bernard Cleveland, Michelle Griffin, and Jacqueline McKay. Shawn is also leaving behind one grandson Nolan Cleveland. Shawn was blessed to have many nieces and nephews.

Shawn attended Savannah High School and eventually graduated from Windsor Forest High School Class of 1987. Shawn’s children followed in his footsteps. Derrick graduating from Savannah High School and Tyshawna from Windsor Forest High School.

Shawn attended Agape Church of Jesus Christ for over two decade, where he obtained the title of Deacon. His impact and hundreds of hours he poured into the church are still felt to this day. There was no task too small or too big for Shawn when it came to the ministry. He drove the church van, took the ministry digital and online, all while being a shining example for young men at the church. Members can recall many stories of Shawn helping them out or just being a great listening ear.

Shawn always wanted to be own boss. He made his own dream come true at the young age of thirty. Opening his first company Southern Tri Co. At the core his of dream was to provide his family with a life he felt they deserved. Southern Tri Co. did just that through his determination and support from friends.

One identity that was always stuck with Shawn was his love for sports and especially the Dallas Cowboys. If the Cowboys were playing you knew Shawn was watching. Whether it be in front of a television or watching live from the stands, Shawn didn’t miss a game. His love for sports didn’t start with football. Shawn was a young baseball star and loved the game. Shawn coached little league baseball and that gave him the opportunity to teach his daughter, Tyshawna the game he loved. Along with baseball Shawn also coached football. His two most beloved sports. Shawn’s love for coaching went beyond just loving the game. He enjoyed mentoring and going the extra mile for his athletes to show they were loved and cared for not just as children, but as humans.

Remember Shawn not in his death, but in all the life, laughter, and love he brought into every room he entered. May his memory leave you with warmth and love.

John W. Lovato, 64, of Savannah, GA, passed away unexpectedly on August 20, 2024 at his
home.

He was born in Denver, CO, on December 18, 1959, son of the late John Lovato and Iris
Stansberry. He is survived by his spouse, Billie Bemis, his four children, Ashley Cover, Lindsey
Lovato, Jonathan Lovato, and Ariana Lovato from his previous marriage to Anne Fox as well as
his grandchildren Derek Catalan, Kaylee Cover, Ella Lovato-Ruzieva, Aubree Cover, Oliver
Pena, Jaxon Cover, Hudson Pena, Colton Cover. He is also survived by his sister Mel
Cunningham (Lovato) and his nieces Heather Cunningham and Natalie Sanchez and his great-
nieces Ciela, Mirage, and Ivy.

John was preceded in death by both of his parents and his niece Brandy Cunningham.
John graduated from Aurora Central High School in 1978. He was passionate about music,
particularly the Grateful Dead and coined himself a hippie and a “deadhead”, following the
Grateful Dead to many concerts in many states. In addition to music, John loved sports both
playing and watching them. The Raiders, no matter where they were located, was his favorite
football team and watching them was a requirement every Sunday. John was also passionate
about the Chicago Cubs which began with fond memories of listening to the Cubs games on the
transistor radio with his grandpa. He was ecstatic when the Cubs finally won the World Series in
2016 after a 100+ year drought.

John struggled with addiction early in his life until the age of 31 when he connected with his
Alcoholics Anonymous family that helped him find and maintain sobriety. John would have been
sober for 33 years on August 23, 2024, an accomplishment that speaks to his strength and
resilience. He spent many years sharing his strength, experience, and hope with others to help
them gain the same gift he received.

Billie was John’s soulmate and the love of his life. Moving to GA with their two pooches,
Jackson, FiFi le Peu was the biggest adventure of both of their lives and where they both found
true happiness and their third fur baby Willow. While in GA, John worked for Timber Products
and made friendships, as he did everywhere he went, that have lasted through time and space.
His last job, and maybe his most rewarding job, was working for the City of Savannah as a
public servant, which fed his constant drive to be of service to others. John loved and was loved
by his fellow city employees.

John was loved by many and will be deeply missed by his friends, family, and anyone who met
his sparkling light.

The funeral service will be held at Families First Funeral Care on Tuesday, August 27, 2024 @ 11:00 AM.
