Obituary of Michael Crow
Crow, Michael
A resident of Chatham, Mike passed away on Sunday, January 27, 2019 at the age of 45.
Mike was the son of the late Gerald & Carmel (nee Beaudoin) Crow.
Together, Mike & Jaime (nee Jenkins) shared three beautiful & amazing children, Ethan, Olivia & Elliot.
Cherished & Adored brother of Christine (Gord) Quinton and brother-in-law of Jeff (Taryn) Jenkins & Erin Livingston.
Fun & Caring uncle to Lauren & Conner Quinton, Alexis & Brooklyn Jenkins, Charlie & Ellie Livingston.
Son-in-law of Gary & Nancy Jenkins.
Remembered always by his many exceptional cousins, aunts, uncles and friends.
Special friend of many years to Scott McRobbie, Ken Francis, Lina, Gabriela & Alex Carlone.
Mike was a devoted father, son, uncle & brother. Everyone who knew him, recognized his love for his children and his actions spoke louder than any words he could have expressed. Mike's happiest moments were the birth of his beloved children, Ethan, Olivia & Elliot. Mike was a hands on dad, always supportive of whatever his children decided to do. He could be seen coaching & cheering on his children at the hockey arena or swimming with them on a hot summers day. For those who had the pleasure of having Mike as a friend knew him as hardworking and who was always willing to lend a helping hand. Mike never said no to anyone who asked. He had a deep appreciation for the outdoors, especially farming. Farming was a part of him and working with his hand gave him solitude and peace. Mike had a wonderful sense of humor and contagious laugh. He was always approachable and so easy to talk to. He had a passion for food, as tall as he was. He will always be remembered as a loving, dedicated and devoted family man. Forever in our hearts and loved by those whose lives he touched.
