Titus Baskerville Jr.

Titus Winfield Baskerville Jr. was born on December 28, 1945, to the union of Adeline Marie Hayden-Baskerville and Titus Winfield Baskerville Sr. in Louisville, Kentucky. As the first son, Titus was the third oldest of eight children.

The family moved to Cleveland, Ohio from Louisville, KY when Titus Jr. was eleven years old, and he attended Cleveland Public Schools. He graduated from Max Hayes High School where he excelled at playing basketball. After graduating high school, he enlisted in the Army, spent two tours in Vietnam in the quartermaster corps, and was honorably discharged in 1971.

Titus Jr., was a family-oriented man, a role model to all, both positive and negative. He was an avid reader especially westerns, a serious trash talker that was seldom seen without sporting a toothpick in his mouth. After a troubled beginning later in life, he became a master Plumber and business partner with his youngest brother William in Minneapolis, MN until he returned to Cleveland, OH to care for his aging and sick mother.

Titus went home to be with the Lord on October 5, 2022. He had four sisters and three brothers, Joyce Singleton Moore deceased (Fred), Yvonne Singleton Worley deceased (Wallace), Henry Sandy Baskerville (Drina), Larry Barton Baskerville deceased (Marietta), Patricia Anne Baskerville-Winfrey (Gary), William Edward Baskerville (Leslie), Estelle Anita Baskerville-Worley deceased (Frederick).

Children Monica Jean Billingsley, Titus Winfield Baskerville III (Ebonie), Mokita Baskerville, Titus Winfield Baskerville II, and Demetrius Clardy. He is also survived by a host of grandchildren, as well as several nieces, nephews, other loving relatives, and friends.
