John Robert Deaver

John "Robert" Deaver passed away unexpectedly in the early morning on April 15, 2026 at the age of 44. 

He was born on January 30, 1982 in Cleveland TN and called Cleveland home for most of his life. 

Robert was never afraid of an adventure, from moving to new places, trying new foods, or meeting new friends. He loved to read and was a huge animal lover, especially cats. 

Robert had a pure heart and truly loved his family and friends. 

Robert is preceded in death by his mother, Maria Hurst and his Aunt Glenda Stowers.

He is survived by his father James Deaver and step mother Brenda, sister Melissa Dodson and husband Clarance, sister Kim Deaver, sister Jessica Deaver, step father Don Hurst, step brother Mike Cross, step sister Tammy Winters and husband Jacob, along with several nieces and nephews who he loved deeply. 

The family will be holding a private memorial at the gravesite for family and friends. 

If you would like to honor his memory we ask that you make a donation to your local animal shelter in his name, or if you are able to adopt a senior "grumpy" cat (he would have loved that).
