Homeless Men and Women Who Died in 2002

Rodney Lucas:

Mr. Lucas, 43, died August 13 on the near west side as he struggled with disease on the streets of Cleveland.  West Side Catholic Center and St. Malachi coordinated a memorial for Lucas who was a day laborer for years.  As a veteran, he had lived in Texas, Georgia and Ohio.  50 people attended his memorial to remember a friend who many who spoke at the remembrance said was a “quiet and thoughtful” man.

Those, who were also remembered at the December 2002 Candlelight Vigil:

R. Jenkins
