Christopher K. Crowley, M.D.
BURNS, Ore. — Christopher K. Crowley, M.D., 33, of Burns, Ore., and formerly of Caldwell, died Saturday, Feb. 15, 1986, in a Portland hospital of a cerebral hemorrhage.
Memorial services will be held at 3 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 23, at St. Michael's Episcopal Church, Boise. A musical tribute by and for family and friends was held Thursday, Feb. 20, at Boone Memorial Presbyterian Church, Caldwell.
Dr. Crowley, a family practice physician, was born Aug. 1, 1952, at Castle Air Force Base, Merced, Calif., where his father was stationed at the time. He returned to Idaho as an infant and, except for one year in California as a child, lived at Caldwell until 1974. He attended Caldwell schools, was an Eagle Scout, and graduated from Caldwell High School in 1970.
He attended the College of Idaho, graduating in 1974 in premedical studies with a bachelor of science degree in zoology. He married Robin Dieter on Sept. 14, 1973, at Boise. Dr. Crowley continued his education at Idaho State University where he received a master's degree in microbiology in 1976. He did his master's research on interferon, a substance now being extensively studied in the fight against cancer, and was the author of several studies on interferon.
He received a medical degree in June of 1982 from the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, Texas. He then completed a three-year family practice residency at Casper, Wyo. In August of 1985, Dr. Crowley and his wife a certified physician's assistant, opened the Crowley Family Health Center at Burns, Ore., where he practiced medicine until the time of his death.
Dr. Crowley wrote a medical column for the Burns Times Herald, and was author of "Hiking Trails in the Owyhees and the Seven Devils," which has been re-printed several times since it was first published in 1971.
His family and friends will remember him as a man of good humor and great curiosity who pursued a wide variety of interests and was enthusiastic about learning.
Survivors include his wife, Robin of Burns; a son, Thomas of Burns; a daughter, Alice of Burns; his parents, Richard and Shirley Crowley of Caldwell; two brothers and sisters-in-law, Todd and Janelle Crowley of Caribou, Maine, and Jon and Cindy Crowley of Caldwell; a sister, Lisa Crowley of Galveston, Texas; a sister and brother-in-law, Jill and Charles "Bud" Courtright of Caldwell; his wife's parents, Alice and Les Dieter of Boise; two brothers-in-law, Paul and Philip Dieter, both of Boise; maternal grandmother, Ruth Waterman of Caldwell; paternal grandmother, Marie Crowley of Caldwell; his wife's grandmother, Alice Hunt of Boise; and three nephews and three nieces.
The family suggests that memorials may be made in his memory to the College of Idaho, Caldwell 83605; or to the Wyoming Family Practice Residency Association, 1511 E. "A" St., Casper, Wyo. 82601, which has established a trust fund for Dr. Crowley's children.
