Roy was born June 13, 1930 in a cabin in Banner County, Nebraska to Lee and Catherine (Bulck) Cleveland. Roy was the oldest of 8 children. He attended school at Horseshoe Bend, were he rode a horse to school. He was raised on his grandmother, Ida Franklin's homestead near McGrew, Nebraska, were he learned to plow with a team of 6 horses by the age of 5. Roy graduated from Banner County High School as part of the class of 1950. Following his schooling Roy began what would become a storied career in the sandhills. In the late 1950's he bought his first stud and as his family says, a legacy was born. Roy had grown up as a cowboy, and roping and riding continued as his way of life. His horse Buttermilk, that he'd ridden to school in the 40's, would eventually become THE Buttermilk that became the trusty companion of Dale Evans. On October 6, 1960, Roy married Shirley Logdson and they were blessed with 3 children, Rick, Cheryl and Mona. Following a divorce, Roy married Nadean Chandler in August of 1967 and it was through this union that Scott, Vic and Melody were welcomed into his family. A few years later, Roy purchased the Notquitea Ranch west of Ogallala. His Bar C brand that was used on the ranch became known by countless people in the horse industry from Coast to Coast, Canada to Mexico. On August 11, 1986, Roy married Marilyn Wade and their union was blessed with a daughter, Ty. Roy was blessed with a large family, and would proudly tell anyone that asked about his 7 kids, their kids and their kid's kids. By the end of the 1950's, Roy had his own rodeo variety act that went on into the 1960's, and intermittently after that. Roy shod horses and competed in rodeos where he excelled at bull dogging. He was quite proficient with a rope and followed in his fathers footstep in doing what many cowboys have tried but few accomplished by roping a coyote on a ranch north of Lemoyne in the mid 60's. Roy worked on ranches, was a pick-up man and rough stock contractor for Bill O'Connor; worked at Ogallala Livestock Sale Barn; later worked as a wrangler on several Hallmark and Disney movies over the years. Roy traded, trained and raised horses for over 70 years. In that time he always loved meeting new people, and taking them to look at the mares and colts. He was known to drive his old ranch pickup through the pastures and into areas where no truck should rightly go. Roy loved to talk horse pedigrees and tell stories, and could do so for hours on end. He always had a fresh pot of coffee ready for anyone who showed up wanting to trade stories. Roy was preceded in death by his parents, his brother Jack (Lee) Cleveland, sisters Ida Lou Shaul and Barbra Sterkel. Survivors include his wife, Marilyn of Wittmann, AZ; his children, Rick Cleveland of Hershey, NE, Ramona (Dan) Vinton of Whitman, NE, Cheryl Lenox of Gillette, WY, Scott McClain of Lyman, NE, Vic McClain of Paxton, NE, Melodi Bishop (Paul Simon) of Aurora, CO and Ty Cleveland (Libor Molak) of Elizabeth, CO; brothers, Don Cleveland of Fairfield, MT and Larry (Linda) Cleveland Hyannis, NE; sisters, Catherine Teppert of Gering, NE and Jean VanCura of Paxton, NE; 8 grandchildren, Heidi (Lee) Jensen of Belle Fourche, SD, Niki (Jeff) Dowling of Gillette, WY, Kari (Jamaal) Greene of Waco, TX, Ashli (Brian) Bowman of Gillette, WY, Justin (Amanda) Vinton of Whitman, NE, Jammie Vinton of Omaha, NE, Brenda Jo Boggs (Ryan) Fisher of Hershey, NE and Will (Sharley) Cleveland of Hershey, NE; numerous great grandchildren; along with many nieces, nephews, other relatives and good friends.
