Mr. Oscar Treadwell, Jr.

In Loving Memory Of Naked I came from my Momma’s Womb and 76 years it took me to reach my Tomb. Oscar Treadwell, Jr. was born in Birmingham, Alabama. He descended from Heaven on Wednesday, May 7, 1947. He was the first child of Oscar and Eloise Treadwell, both of whom preceded him in death. They say, “that when a child is born, that he or she becomes God’s child or the Devil’s” but Oscar was to become neither for the streets became his parents and it was in the streets where he learned how to be a man, and it was the streets that eventually brought about his downfall, destruction, and demise. Oscar started off life like most young boys his age, full of piss and vigor struggling to find his place in the world, and the reasons he was sent down to Earth, only to discover that God had plans of his own. Oscar was baptized a Catholic before he could speak or walk. He went to church six (6) days a week, didn’t eat meat on Friday and wouldn’t fight you on Sunday. But if he caught you any other day of the week, you had to answer for any problem(s) you had with him. He was an Alter Boy, Boy’s Scout and at one time in his life, he went off to Cincinnati, Ohio to be a Priest. He didn’t smoke, drink, or do drugs, and rarely cursed, but all of that changed the day Oscar answered Uncle Sam’s call For A Few Good Men, and the boy who left, wasn’t the man that came home. Uncle Sam destroyed Oscar’s dreams and set him on the path of destruction that eventually took his life. But for the moment God wasn’t through with Oscar and he sent him an angel named Clementine Turner, whom he married and fathered six (6) children with two (2) of whom preceded him in death, along with his wife, the mother of his children, and the love of his life. Oscar Treadwell, Jr. departed this life on Tuesday, October 3, 2023 to join his ancestors, relatives, and friends. He leaves to cherish his memories to all those that loved him and stood by him in life. He also leaves to cherish his memories: his daughters, Carmen, Melanie, Tangie; son, Eric; sisters, Mary Davis (Kevin) and Adoria, Lisa, Teresa, Taryn (Ohio), brothers, Robert, Anthony, Paul; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
