Gabriel Crowther passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, March 24, 2018. He is survived by his wife Dana, and children, Caleb (14), Naomi (13), Kjerstianna (10), and Torden (8). Also, his parents Frank and Ginger Crowther, and siblings, Kim Crowther, Adam Crowther, Sabona Eddy, Katy Crowther, Frank Crowther Jr., and Juliann Whicker, and many nieces and nephews. Gabriel saw life as a game and an adventure. He always pushed his physical and mental limits and boundaries. He treated everyone with a Christ like compassion. He easily remembered people’s names, sometimes remembering them years later after meeting them only once. He attracted friends from all walks of life, lifting everyone he met. Gabe excelled at anything he ever attempted. He had too many talents and skills to mention, but some included: singing, dancing, playing the guitar, Amtgard (larping), paragliding, and snorkeling. He picked up many languages because he loved communicating with people on their terms. He had a fascination with learning new things, sometimes to distraction, and loved to use them to build common ground with new acquaintances. The family he left includes many of the people he adopted into his life with his loving manner. He was intelligent, kind and witty. He was playful and loved to test people's buttons. He loved to laugh and looked for humor in everything. He had an extensive library of memorized quotes scriptures and poetry. His imagination was never more in play than when he was Role Playing, or inventing. He was the dad any adventurous child would love to have had. Gabriel is a member of the LDS faith and served faithfully. Gabriel served a mission in Indianapolis, Indiana. He loved going to the temple, and effortlessly shared the gospel with his natural personality.
