Kenneth Wesley Crawley was a faithful man of God who loved his family deeply. Kenny was a hardworking man who worked as an electrician for 42 years. He married the love of his life, Carolyn, in 1956. Together, they built a life centered around family and faith.

Kenny enjoyed tending to his garden. When he was not working in his garden, you could often find him riding around the community on his golf cart. He loved his animals, hunting, traveling to the Smoky Mountains, Branson, and Mountain View, Arkansas, and listening to gospel bluegrass music.

He was a member of Brotherhood Local 1077 and a faithful member of Good Hope Baptist Church. His main goal in life was to make sure his family knew the Lord. Kenny will be remembered for the example he set for his family.

Kenny was preceded in death by his parents, Leslie and Corrine; his loving wife of 67 years, Carolyn Crawley; one son, Danny O'Neal Crawley; one brother, Wesley Crawley; one grandchild, Chassity Lynn Merkel; and one great-grandchild, Simon Merkel.

He is survived by his two daughters, Cindy Quinter (Robert) and Sandra Bass (Wesley); four grandchildren, Robert Quinter III (Alyssa), Chauncy Watts (Nick), Casey Meitzler (Eric), Amy Robertson (Josh); ten great grandchildren, Jackson, Carter, Canaan, Morgan, London (Miles), Crimson, Rizer, Landon (Rileigh), Lane, and Reese; one great-great granddaughter, Mary Hunter; and a host of nieces and nephews.

Mr. Crawley will be carried to his final resting place by those honored to serve as Pallbearers: Landon Robertson, Lane Robertson, Miles Maliden, Glenn Patterson, Josh Anthony, and Josh Smith. Reese Robertson and Rizer Meitzler will serve as Honorary Pallbearers.
