Darrell Crutchley Obituary
Darrell proudly served in the US Air Force. After his military service, he established a successful career as a self-employed home improvement contractor, a vocation he dedicated himself to for 35 years. Darrell valued the simple pleasures of life, his family, and friendships. He is survived by his wife, Janet Crutchley; daughters, Dawn (Garret) Wintz of Cumberland Furnace, TN, and Leah (Dana LaFlamme) Thompson of Rush, CO; a niece he considered a daughter, Jessica Walters of Minier, IL; grandchildren, Daelyn (Nick) Hortenstine, Brady Wintz, Raven Thompson, and Gage Thompson; and great-granddaughters, Lillian and Oaklynn. Darrell was preceded in death by his parents, Wayne and June Crutchley, a sister, a brother, and his father-in-law and best friend, Ferd Decker.
Per Darrell's wishes, there will be no memorial service. Contributions in his memory can be made to the Atlanta Rescue Squad or St. Jude’s.
