Post Based – Brian Crawford Memorial

Grama Doris

Brian, I miss you so bad I can hardly stand it. From the first time I saw you, I knew you were a very special person but am learning more about you every day. A friend told me today that you live in a paradise we can hardly imagine and that you smile when we think of you, so you must be smiling all the time now because we always think of you. You worked so hard to succeed at everything and you did succeed. At least now, you don't have bad knees and you can rest and hang out with Jesus.

Cheryl Crawford

He Is Just Away I cannot say, and I will not say.... that he is dead... he is just away! With a tilt of his head, and a wave of his hand..... he has wandered off to an unknown land...... and leaves us thinking, how fair, that land must be..... since he lingers there. Always know... do not fear.... he loves us, there, as he loved us here. And therefore I just cannot say.... that he is dead..... he is just away! Brian, I love you and I will see again in that faraway place. I will love you forever. GM Cheryl Cheryl Crawford

Janice Kingsbury

My prayers our always with u all and a day never goes by without Brian in my thoughts and he'll always be in my heart and u know he's looking over us every single day watching us to make sure we keep in line and do what is expected of us and all. In fact he is probably thinking that Clayton should be out catching right now but I think he if probably happy with his decision he has made with finishing his school and going on with his goals and it's been tough going but with prayers all things

Brian, Well bro its hard to believe that you are gone but I keep telling myself I'll see you again one of these days. Man you were my best friend and you were always there for me.

Man I miss you a lot but I'm keeping it together down here or at least I'm trying. Benny Ice and I are ready to see you man but one day we will and

Tammy Brooks

Hello, my name is Tammy. I've worked with Kenneth in the past, but I've never had the chance to meet Anna. I, too, know your grief, sadness, hopelessness, anger and helplessness. My 23 year old daughter was killed January 6, 2008. She was kidnapped by an obsessed punk that had escaped Seminole County. She was killed in the crossfire between the punk and the police. He lived to serve life in Stringtown. I only learned about Brian in 2009 when on FB I saw Kenneth. I was floored. I had moved out of the state, so I didn't know. I

I'm sorry Uncle Kenneth, Aunt Anna, Brad & Bryce... It's so weird... it doesn't feel like it's true.. I keep thinking i'm going to wake up and everything be all right... I came to Brad's birthday party and he did a magic show for us all, he'd play guitar and i'd sit there and watch him wishing i could play like that. No one will ever forget Brian, he is in our hearts forever... He was a good cousin and a good role-model. If anyone should learn anything from this misfortune it's that we should all be more like Brian.....

Ken take comfort in the fact that you had the opportunity to be his father for a short time and in that time, you and your wife raised him to fear God and keep his commandments and that alone has transformed him into a giant among men in God's eyes. Brian's death is not in vain, he has caused us all to evaluate our own mortality, for all of our time here is short. Only
