Michael John Cleveland, 52

BELMONT — Michael John Cleveland, 52, of Baron Drive, died unexpectedly on Friday, Oct. 27, 2023, at Concord Hospital-Laconia.

Michael was born on July 1, 1971, in Laconia, the son of William Cleveland and Patricia (Moulton) Cleveland. He graduated from Laconia High School in 1989 and resided in the Lakes Region most of his life.

Mike was currently employed at the New Hampshire Police Standards and Training Council in Concord as maintenance mechanic. He also worked alongside his brother Chris at CAC Construction and Madeira USA several years prior. Mike was a member of the Laconia Elks Lodge and the Sons of the American Legion Post 1. Passionate about the outdoors, Mike enjoyed fishing, golf, billiards, trips to the ocean, north to Pittsburg and Jeep rides with Sadi and Kobe.

Mikey will forever be remembered as a wonderful, smart, kind, loving son with a big heart. He had and made so many great friends along the way and was always very close to his family.

Thank God for all the precious memories and great times we have had with him. He will be in our hearts forever.

Mike is survived by his loving wife, Sadi-lyn (Shumway) Cleveland and their spoiled German shepard, Kobe. In addition to his parents, Patricia and Bill Cleveland, he also leaves behind his brother, Chris Cleveland and his fiancée, Shannon Day; nephew, Tyler Cleveland; niece, Kayla Bertolino (John) and great-nephew Elijah; aunt, Donna Lacoste; uncles, Gary Moulton and Ted Moulton Jr.; and many cousins. He was predeceased by his uncle, Danny Moulton, and grandfather, Ted Moulton, whom he was very close with.

Calling hours will be held on Friday, Nov. 3, 2023, from 3 to 5 p.m., in the Carriage House at Wilkinson-Beane-Simoneau-Paquette Funeral Home, 164 Pleasant St., Laconia, with a funeral service following at 5 p.m. also at the funeral home.

A celebration of life will continue after the service at the Laconia Elks Lodge, 17 Sugarbush Lane, Gilford, where there will be time for stories and refreshments.
