John Claude Lovett III, 48, of Stone Mountain, GA, transitioned to Heaven on Sunday, January 3, 2021, after suffering an aortic aneurysm.

He was a proud Florida A & M University (FAMU) alum, University of Cincinnati (UC) alum, a good brother, son, uncle, poet and Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan.

He is preceded in death by his mother, Mary Lee Duhart Lovett and survived by his father, Deacon John Claude Lovett, Jr. (Daisy); his siblings, Dr. Marilyn Denise Lovett Hampton (Jarvis), Miriam Darice Lovett Sasnett, Rev. Juanetta Lovett Brent (David), Malcolm Jamal Lovett (Sharhonda), other relatives and many friends.
