John Crow II Obituary
Coach Crow was born October 2, 1943 in Del Rio, TX, grew up in Vallejo, CA and spent 51 years residing in Newbury Park, CA until moving to Cave Creek, AZ in 2019. He was a graduate of California State University, Chico, earning his Masters Degree in Physical Education in 1973. Coach Crow was a high school Health Science and P.E teacher, Coach and Athletic Director at Agoura High School for 27 years before retiring in 2005. He received an Agoura High School Hall of Fame award in 2012 for his impact on students, athletes and colleagues, but would always humbly say he was just doing his job. He had a deep love for teaching, coaching, baseball, and his family and friends.
He is survived by his wife, Melodye; daughter, Megan (husband Shawn), granddaughter, Daniella (fiancé Tim), great granddaughter Aurora, sister Donna Pomarico, and many other beloved family, friends, students and athletes. Coach was eagerly awaiting the arrival of his second great granddaughter, Adeline, when he passed.
A tribute to Coach Crow will take place during the September 12, 2025 Agoura High School football game.
Coach Crow's ashes will be spread under the Golden Gate Bridge in October, 2025.

Our family has so many great memories with John and the Crow family. Our ski trips to Park City will always be memorable and cherished. But the friendship my dad and John had together teaching and coaching at Agoura High School for years together will always be so special. How lucky they were to have had so many years doing what they loved together!!! Our family is saddened by John´s passing, and we send our love to Melodye, Megan and the rest of the family. Coach Crow was the ultimate coach and family man. He will be forever remembered as a true leader, legend, and great man.

Coach Crow was loved by so many. He made a difference in the lives of countless students, friends and colleagues but even more so in the lives of his precious family. He will be truly missed by so many. My family and I continue to send our prayers, hugs and love to you all.

With loving memories of my husband Bob´s BFE- from childhood, they lived "the life" never questioning what they were doing. It could have been baseball, skiing on almond shells in Chico, having deer hanging in the basement of the "House of the Rising Sun" "Frontier Day" adventures or simply hanging out together. They could create some hilarious stories. Some were real and some were questionable. My best memories of John were when we all lived in Newbury Park and raised our children together as if we were family-we were family! Attending church together, football games, baseball games, weekend ski trips, family gatherings, and simply enjoying life. John was an amazing individual who brought positivity, energy, humor and love to all he came in contact with. I will miss John; however, he and his joyful spirit will live on forever in my mind and my heart . These pictures Laurel & Hardy 1979 and Baby Huey 1982 show the love these two shared-it doesn´t get any better or funnier than this! It was unbelievable what these two buddies could come up with

What a wonderful tribute to a man that was truly unique and special. They surely don´t make them like that anymore, at least I have not met any recently. He was a man of integrity and witts about himself that transmitted into his coaching, teaching and personal life. He had a big impact on many of my friends that played for him because of how they speak of his name and all the great memories they have of him. My condolences to Megan and to the rest of the Crow families. God bless and may his legacy live on!!
