Saturday, April 08, 2017Jr had many sayings but the one he liked the most was “Go Big or Go Home.” He lived life “big” and now he is “home” with the Heavenly Father. Born in Flagstaff on May 4, 1966, he grew up and lived in the town he loved. Though he was just 50 years old, Jr lived more in his 50 years than many people twice his age. He made the most of every moment – whether he was outdoors hunting, roping, having a beer with new and life-long friends, laughing with his kids, reminiscing with family or dancing with his wife – Jr embraced life to the fullest.Jr’s departure from this world leaves a cavity in the lives and hearts of hundreds of friends and especially his family, including the love of his life and wife Laura; his children Harli, Trey and step-son Garrett; his parents John and Rosemary; his brother Joe and his wife Laura, and his sister Michelle and her husband Chris Erdmeir; niece and nephews Tanna, Chase, and Kobe.John and Laura married on July 10, 2004. The two shared a very special love that was truly visible when others were around them, always holding hands and rarely apart. They built a home and business together; stood by each other in the good times and during difficult times, never wavering in their love and commitment; they cared for each other’s ...

Monday, February 20, 2017Keith Douglas Crawley was born November 3rd, 1957, in Flagstaff, Arizona, in the “old hospital.” Keith let his mother know while she was out dancing, that he was ready to make his appearance. A grand entrance was how he approached the world from the start."I am King of the Forest!!!" Keith would burst forth in a perfect Oz rendition. And then begin telling his stories of impossible situations that could only happen to him. There was the one about being locked in a room with a crazed Jack Rabbit or even the fact that “however incredible it may seem”, Keith would say, “it happened again today, when I looked in the mirror I was better lookin’ today than yesterday." He charmed us all - his mother, Sarah Shafer and his step father, Robert Shafer…his sisters Deidre Crawley, Kirsten Crawley and his brother Jason Crawley and their children who affectionately called him “Gruncle" (short for “great uncle”) Keith and a host of friends. Keith loved his family, friends and this “mountain town”. We will just mention here that his favorite teacher was...
