Obituary

On July 4, 1989, Leon Butler Jr and Selena Littleton were blessed with the birth of  Calvin Sylvester Littleton.

Calvin attended Mount Vernon Elementary School in Chicago, IL, Percy L Julian  High School in Chicago, IL, and Tinley Park High School in Tinley Park, IL. He  attended Olive Harvey College and Northwest Mississippi Community College in  Senatobia, MS.

Calvin attended Grant Memorial AME church with his mom where he was  christened as an infant and developed a love for playing the drums at an early age.  Calvin continued to play the drums throughout his life. Calvin left Chicago at the  age of 17. He moved to Charleston, Mississippi where he landed employment at  Windsor Foods. Although he was from Chicago, a big city, he transitioned well to  the country.

Calvin loved to travel. He did not let the grass grow under his feet. He would often  say, " I have been everywhere, places you're never there!" Calvin would show up  at your door at 2:00 am in the morning, looking for something to eat. And MAN,  could he eat. Some of his cousins and friends called him, "The human garbage  disposal."

Calvin loved to dress in the latest high-end clothing. He also loved having the latest  technology. With this lifestyle, Calvin also delved into rapping. He recorded several  rap songs: It's Me Lil Lee, Don't Blame Selena, Gwop Gang, and more.

Calvin made his transition on April 9, 2021.

He leaves to cherish his fiance Takyia Patterson, two children; son, Dorian Ross  and daughter, Taleeyah Patterson, his mother Selena Littleton (David), his father  Leon Butler Jr, grandparents; Carrie Butler (Leon Butler, Sr deceased),  grandparents; Edison C. Sr and Maude Littleton who preceded him in death, one  brother Jamal Littleton, three sisters, Leondra Butler, Brianna Butler, and Leah  Butler, four aunts and five uncles; Sharon, Edison Jr, Wanda, Bernard, Caldwell,  Carol (deceased) , Wayne, Marcus, and Cynthia, Ashina Major (closest cousin  preceded him in death), and a host of relatives and friends.
