A very special man, father, brother, husband, and grandfather was called back to our Father in Heaven on May 26, 2018. He was preceded in death by his wonderful parents, Earl E. Crosby Sr. and Helen Crosby. He is survived by his wife, Debbie; daughter Jenny Tenney (Matt); grandchildren Morgan, Aubrie, and Carson Tenney; his son, Nicholas Crosby (Alison); grandchildren Olivia and Sophia Crosby; stepson Josh Nelson (Janice); grandchildren Kylie, Megyn, and Camdin Nelson; stepdaughter Kristy Didericksen (Dano); grandchildren McKenzie, McCoy, Ty, and Tate Didericksen; his sister Sara Crosby-Lemmon (Wayne); niece Stacey Hainke and great-nephew Tyson; nephew Steve (JR) Stevens, spouse Amanda, great-niece Mercedez and great-nephew Trae Stevens; as well as many cousins and extended family who are very dear to us.
Earl was a person you could always count on for anything — a man of many talents. He truly loved filling up his tool bag and helping anyone who was in need. He really loved the outdoors — camping and cooking with family and friends and going for day long rides in the side-by-side. Another love of his life was working in the garage and restoring old vehicles. There was always
something in the garage or on the wish list. Earl was a hard-working man, a great provider, and loved teaching and passing on his skills. You couldn’t find a better friend and a true confidant. His greatest love was his children and his grandchildren. He was so very proud of all of them and loved sharing pictures and stories of their accomplishments with friends.
Our sincere thanks and gratitude to all those who have been by our side during this difficult time. We love you all so very much.
Earl, the world has been a better place because of you and you are loved very much. Thank you for our treasured memories and please watch over us, protect and comfort us.
