David Key Crews

San Angelo

On May 14, 2015, after 30+ years of battling heart disease, our beloved husband, father, uncle, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend to many, has gone to be with our Lord and Savior.

He was born July 20, 1939, to the late W.O. and Juanita Crews. He attended Lake View High School and was a proud veteran of the USMC. On Feb. 3, 1961, he married Phyllis Clement and in 1967, had two daughters.

David was a dedicated senior sales rep for ConAgra Foods for more than 30 years. After retirement, he began dedicating his time to volunteering at Shannon Memorial Hospital and became the first male president serving one year as president and over 20 years as volunteer. He was a member and an elder at St. Paul Presbyterian Church for over 20 years and then became a member of First Presbyterian Church for the remainder of his life. David also enjoyed canning/cooking and was awarded numerous blue ribbons at the State Fair of Texas in Creative Arts (Foods). He loved making numerous products with wood/deer antlers. He dedicated his life to serving others, in which he spent many hours in the soup kitchen and other church activities.

David is preceded in death by both parents; his brother, Raymond Crews; and sister Jo Ann Miller.

He is survived by his wife of 54 years, Phyllis; his two daughters, Melinda Hollie (Michael) of Red Oak, Texas, and Melissa Crews Pence of Dallas, Texas; his brother, Rev. W.O Crews (JoAnn) of Camas, Washington; sister-in-law Lois Caddell (Lonnie) of Rowlett Texas; nephews Alan Miller (Julie), Randy Crews (Tiffany), Lyle Caddell (Cathy), Lance Caddell (Stephanie), Leith Caddell (Angie) and Val Joe Hill; grandchildren Lauren, David and Victoria Pence, Jordan Green, Tyler and Jared Burchfield; and great-grandchildren Aadyn and Alexis.

A memorial service to celebrate and honor his life will be at 10:30 a.m. Monday, May 18, 2015, at First Presbyterian Church, 32 N. Irving, San Angelo.

The family would like to express their sincere thanks to all the physicians and healthcare workers who took great care of David during his life and that made him comfortable with the evolution of the defibrillator over the three decades of his treatment.
