Ronald Crisp Obituary
Ronald Eric Crisp "Crispy"
He was raised in his beloved town of Stanwood, WA, went to Stanwood schools, participated in wrestling, football and numerous "after school activities", graduating in 1981. He was an avid nascar fan and first place drag race winner in my Buick.
He has joined his "Big Bro" Johnny "Critter" Crisp; baby brother, Lee Owen; grandparents, Harv and Annie Crisp; and grandparents, Ralph and Helga Erickson, (grandma Helga, please don't be too hard on him.)
Waiting to join him are me, his wife, Linda; mom, Shirley Crisp; dad, Owen Crisp and wife Randi; sisters, Carolyn Peterson, Susan Nash "Susie" and husband Donny; uncle, Michael, who found all of his mechanical errors; aunt, Joan Patton, of Jacksonville, Florida; niece, Melanie and Tia; nephews, Jessie, Jeremy, Ty, Justin, Brandon, Donavon, and Tyler; sister and brother-in-law, Angie and Brady; grandkids, Luke and Lily. Last but not least our cat, Miss Tulip McPhee. Ronnie had so many loyal and devoted friends, to name them all would be impossible, but a special thanks to his "Brother" Todd Jensen, Karl Specht and Doug Gilliam, loyal friends to the end.
My husband had many nicknames. My favorite was "Little Big Man". He was strong as an ox, as mean looking at times as a bulldog, a number one wise-guy, but oh what a heart! He was one in a million.
Honey, after the reunion and after you build your race car- you'd better get busy on my tree house- you never know when I'll show up. Until I see you again- I Love You "Papa"-"Mama"
Come share your Crispy stories between 1 and 3 p.m., Saturday, March 17, 2007, at his Dad and Randi's place, 598 N. East Camano Drive, Camano Island, 98282.

Crispy, we had some good times. Men like you with such a big heart are hard to come by. Your time here was too short, but we all know you lived it to the fullest. You sure knew how to have fun and make people around you laugh. Take care my friend, until we meet again.

Ronnie,
To lose someone as cool and wonderful as you is as much of a tradegy as it was to loose Johnny. I know you wanted to be with your brother and i hope your having a blast getting to see him. Tell johnny Hi for me.
I love you more than i think you will ever know. You were my awesome uncle that road motorcycles and always gave me advice about my car. You and linda were so much fun to watch as you two would tell your funny stories about what happen to you two in the past, its really hard to believe that now when i hear these stories, that they will only be said from Linda.
Its just hard i will never get to talk to you again. There is so much i still had to say to you. But I guess you and Johnny will always be there for me helping me get threw my life, going done the right paths. I will dream about you and I will talk about what a wondeful man you were.
My uncles are gone physicaly but will never be gone mentaly or emotionaly.
I love you..
