___ PCN FLIGHT WEST is sponsored by the Pilot Communication Network and is a service of the PCN provided for the Delta Pilot Retired family of pilot groups. Flight West was started and is maintained to accomplish two main goals. After we become aware of a colleague who has Flown West, 1. We aim to produce a “timely” notice sent to our community that allows for support and interaction from our group toward the grieving family of our friend and colleague. 2. Then, we aim to “archive” that notice on our Flown West Blogspot as a lasting accessible place of Dignity and Honor of our colleague for family legacy and posterity. Contributor contact info is generally removed before posting (unless requested otherwise).

------------------
Craig Dana Cleveland, 64, departed for his heavenly home on July 22, 2015, after a valiant battle with cancer. His devotion to his family and his firm belief in God supported him in his struggle and ultimately gave him peace.
 
Craig was born to Scott and Berniece Cleveland in Grants Pass, Oregon, on March 21, 1951. He was active in the Boys Scouts of America and earned the rank of Eagle Scout in Azalea, OR, where he was raised. He also participated in numerous sports, including football, basketball, and wrestling. Craig graduated as valedictorian of his high school class in 1969 and was appointed to the Air Force Academy, where he graduated in 1973 with a degree in geography. He served in the Air Force from 1973 to 1979, flying C-130s in Texas, Europe, and the Far East. He then achieved his dream of flying commercial airplanes as a co-pilot and captain for Delta Airlines until he retired in 2005.
 
Craig was blessed with a loving family. He met speech therapist Janice Sue Corley while based at Dyess Air Force Base, and they married on August 14, 1976, in Odessa. The Clevelands raised their three daughters in Odessa and Weatherford, TX, and Craig was always a devoted, loving, and patient father willing to do anything for his girls. Craig and Jan moved to Bryan, TX, in the fall of 2014 to be close to their daughters and grandchildren. He is dearly missed by his loved ones, who celebrate the fact that he is at peace with his Creator.
 
Craig is survived by his wife, Jan; his daughters and their husbands, Paige and Joe Perez of Bryan, Amelia and Daniel Senneff of Houston, and Erin and James Ray of Houston; his grandchildren, Alana and Flossie Perez, and Jude, Luke, and Juliana Senneff; his parents, Scott and Berniece, of Azalea, OR; his brothers and their wives, Stephen of Goodyear, AZ, Jeff and Pam of Hillsboro, OR, Randy and SuAnne of Ashland, OR, and Phil and Melanie of Amarillo, TX; sister-and brother-in-law, Pamela and Richard Hoffman of Odessa; and numerous nieces and nephews. Special thanks and love are extended to his niece, Courtney Barner of Odessa, who employed her expertise as a nurse to ensure his care and comfort to the very end.
 

The service and interment will be held at the Sunset Memorial Gardens and Funeral Home in Odessa, TX, at 10:00 AM on Monday, July 27.
