Charles Allen Crawford, age 53, went to be with the Lord on April 12,2016 after a long battle with lung cancer. He is preceded in death by his Grandparents and Nephew, James Crawford. Grieving in his passing are parents, Eugene and Elizabeth Crawford, and his four children, Thomas, Robert and Andrew Crawford, and Morgan Vaughn Vicars along with granddaughter Kaelyn Jones. Charles is also survived by siblings Mike Crawford and Anna Brackett along with nieces Melissa Roberts and Detra Brackett and nephew Paul David Brackett Jr. and several aunts, uncles, cousins and a great-niece and great-nephew, all of which mourn with heavy hearts. He leaves behind many wonderful friends as he was loved by so many for his funny and outgoing personality and was most often found in the middle of the crowd making others laugh. He loved all of his friends dearly, each of them holding a very special place in his heart. His list of good friends is long, so many that naming them all would be impossible. A special thanks to Jennifer Marlin Owens and Leslie Marlin and a very special old friend, Sylvia Reynozo. Charles proudly served in the National Guard for 26 years. His patriotism and love for his country was great. Charles retired from service in 2005 and will be honored for his time in the military at his burial service. Visitation will be Thursday April 14, 2016 from 2-4 and 6-8 pm. The funeral will be held on Friday April 15, 2016 at 10 am in the Chapel of Mount Pleasant. Charles will be laid to rest at Resthaven Cemetery. Pall Bearers will be Paul David Bracket Jr., Robert Jay Crawford and the Harlan Honor Guard. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you consider donations to The American Cancer Society or St. Jude. Mount Pleasant Funeral Home is entrusted with arrangements.
