Noel Brian Crawford

Noel Brian Crawford, 42, of Denver, Colorado, died on March 28th, 2018 from pancreatic cancer. He is remembered with love by his wife Stephanie, and their two children Ethan and Anne; his parents, David and Linda; his brother Bret and wife Veronica, their daughter Emily; sister-in-law Jennifer Sanders and her husband Jeff, their three children, John, Ella, and Caroline; his mother-in-law Janet Conrow and her husband Jerry; aunts, uncles, cousins, and a countless number of friends whom Noel also loved like his own family. He is preceded in death by his grandparents, Wayne Crawford, Marjorie (Crawford) Hansen and her husband Fred, Raymond and Virginia Morgan; and his father-in-law Steven Brewer. Noel was born in Orange, California on December 27th, 1975. He grew up playing baseball and basketball, skateboarding, attending and leading youth groups at Trinity United Presbyterian Church in Santa Ana, and engaging in hijinks and shenanigans with his best friend Jeff Nelson and other close friends. Noel graduated from Villa Park High School in 1994 and went on to Cal State Fullerton. He worked in restaurants and retail, until he settled into the financial services industry for 18 years up until his death. But his true passions were his family and friends, movies, classic rock and heavy metal music, singing karaoke, and playing sports. He met his wife Stephanie in high school at Trinity and they married on August 5th, 2000. They had their first child Ethan in 2005, moved to Denver, Colorado in 2006 for a job opportunity, and then went on to have their daughter Anne in 2008. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, May 19th at 10am at Trinity United Presbyterian Church, 13922 Prospect Ave, Santa Ana, CA 92705. There will also be a celebration in Colorado on Saturday, June 23rd from 10am-1pm at Levitt Pavilion, 1380 West Florida Ave, Denver, CO 80223.
