Remembering Calvin Cranston Cheap

Calvin Cranston Cheap, 70, passed away January 17, 2022 in Naples Florida. He divided his time between Marco Island, Florida and Flemingsburg, Kentucky. Calvin is the son of the late John and Doris Cheap of Flemingsburg Kentucky. He was born in Lexington, Kentucky on August 8th 1951.

Calvin was a shining example of living life to its fullest. He could light up a room with his infectious smile and break the tension of any situation with his goofy sense of humor. Calvin loved boating, fishing, golfing and his annual hunting trip with his friends.

Calvin poured his heart and passion into continuing his family’s legacy with Cheap’s Chevrolet. He will be greatly missed by family and friends in both Kentucky and Florida. Calvin served in the Mason, was a founding member of the Fleming County Rotary, and has served as Deacon at Christian Churches in both Flemingsburg, Kentucky and Marco Island, Florida.

We are at peace knowing he gave his life to the Lord and is now in God’s presence with family and friends who preceded him home.

Calvin is survived by his loving wife Jenny Cheap, daughters Sybil Berryman (Bryan) and Cristan Grensing (Sonny). Five grandchildren Abbigale Grensing, Collin Grensing, Mia Berryman, Cambree Grensing, and Farrah Berryman, his sisters Paula Hyatt, Susan Bucher (Scott) and a host of loving nieces and nephews. Calvin was preceded in death by his parents John and Doris Cheap and his brother-in-law Jewett Hyatt.

Calvin’s life was celebrated on Sunday January 23rd at Hammock Bay Golf Club. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Calvin’s honor to St. Matthews House in Naples, Florida or The Flemingsburg Christian Church in Flemingsburg, Kentucky.
