Graveside services will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 21, 2021, in Woodlawn Cemetery for Kenneth Donald Crawley, 61, of Mandeville, La., who passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, Aug. 15, from complications following a routine surgery. Visitation will be held from 12:30 p.m. until the time of the services on Saturday, Aug. 21, at Hathorn Funeral Home.

A graduate of Columbia High School and the University of Southern Mississippi, he was the Director of Human Resources at CommCare Management Corporation in Mandeville, La. He was an avid deer and turkey hunter and was in the woods every chance he got. He also loved to play the guitar and sing, and had a wonderful sense of humor. He never met a stranger and he made numerous cherished and lasting friendships everywhere he went. The world will be a darker place without his bright smile and beautiful dimples.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Donald E. Crawley and Patricia Crawley, both of Columbia; brother, Kevin Crawley, and niece, Jennifer Williams Foxworth.

Survivors include his two sisters, Colleen Crawley Vergona (Louis) of Mandeville, La., and Donna Crawley Williams (Larry) of Columbia; brother, Brian Crawley of Denham Springs, La.; nieces Melissa Vergona Conner and Lauren Vergona Gavioli, and a nephew, Lance Williams.

The family asks that those who attend follow Covid precautions.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in his memory to The USM Athletic Foundation, P.O. Box 15458, Hattiesburg, MS 39404.
