Richard Wayne Crawford was born November 25, 1946 to George and Pauline Crawford in Clinton, OK. The youngest son and next to youngest child of thirteen brothers and sisters, Richard was a proud member of the expansive Crawford clan all of his life.
At age sixteen he met a little red-haired girl named Jeanne Rose. They were married December 7, 1964 and spent their lives, living, loving and working together. Richard was licensed to preach on February 4, 1970. He began to faithfully serve the Lord's churches and his fellow man as a dedicated minister of the gospel from that time forward to the end of his life.
Richard was a mighty man of God. He was always studying and contemplating the scriptures. His powerful faith and love for God and the souls of people was always evident. When Jesus called his faithful servant home the world lost a true warrior of the faith.
Richard was preceded in death by his parents, George and Pauline Crawford; brothers, George, Clifford, Bill, Leonard, Bob, and Jim; sisters, Mae, Joan, Ernie, and a great-granddaughter Kathryn Marie Crawford and many other dear loved ones. He was also preceded in death by his beloved wife who he missed desperately every moment of every day.
He is survived by his children Rodney Crawford and wife Sherri of Gladewater, TX, Melissa Cooper and husband Aaron of Springfield, IL; grandsons, Nick Cooper of Albuquerque, NM, John Crawford and wife Dawn of Gladewater, and Ben Cooper of Fairbanks, Alaska; granddaughter, Sara Dandridge and husband Joe of Tyler, TX. Three great-grandchildren Jade, Micheal, and Noah Crawford; brother Larry Crawford of CA, sisters Hattie Black and Shirley Henderson of OK. He also leaves to mourn his passing sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, a host of cousins, nieces, nephews, friends from around the world, and his church family.
