Winston Crawford

June 18, 1942 - March 2, 2016

Winston Michael Crawford, 73, our handsome, funny and courageous father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle, husband and friend passed away surrounded by loved ones on March 2, 2016.  He was born in Manti, Utah to wonderful parents, Winston M. Crawford and Ramona Mellor Crawford who surely met him, along with many others, at the gates of heaven.   There really were no strangers in his life for he was quick to make everyone he met a friend.  It is often said of him that he would give the shirt off his back to anyone in need. He enjoyed playing the saxophone and teaching himself how to play various musical instruments; he composed musical arrangements and played in the Air Force band.  He loved the outdoors including; riding and teaching his kids how to ride motorcycles, camping with family, hunting, shooting guns with his kids, hiking in Springville near the cabin he built, boating wherever there was enough water to do so, rescuing and raising raccoons, rebuilding and driving fast cars and building quality fences with his company, Crawford Fence Company.  He had a great love for animals.  He loved his wife, kids, step-kids and grandchildren and made them laugh and feel special whenever given the chance. His friends and family would often refer to him as a gentleman, thoughtful, giving, kind, generous, hard-working, good intentioned, and meticulous in his work.  We will miss your contagious laughter, phone calls, visits, and all that you have been to us.  Until we meet again…we love you dearly. Funeral Services for Winston will be held at 12:00 pm Thursday March 10th at the Orem Sharon Ward, 641 S. 400 E. Orem, Utah, where a viewing will be held prior from 10:00 to 11:30 am. Interment will be held in the Orem City Cemetery, 1520 North 800 East, Orem, Utah.   In lieu of flowers, contributions to Cole Crawford would be appreciated.

Thanks to all those who cared for Dad through his illness especially the staff at Lakeridge Senior Living. He loved his caregivers there, thank you for loving him back.   Funeral Directors: Utah Valley Mortuary.
