In Loving Memory of Carl Leon Crider
February 8, 1958 – May 24, 2025
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved father, husband, and friend, Carl Crider, who left us on May 24th, 2025. He was a devoted husband to Debbie, proud father to Jeffery, Gregory, Rachel, Jessica, Matthew, and Logan and loving grandfather to several grandchildren.
Carl was a man of strength and unwavering kindness. An avid fisherman, he found peace and joy on the water, rod in hand, surrounded by the beauty of nature. He was also a tireless worker who led by example, never hesitant to lend a hand to anyone in need. His legacy lives on in the values he instilled in his children and the lives he touched with his generosity and work ethic.
He will be deeply missed and forever remembered for his big heart, strong hands, and enduring love.
Graveside services will begin at 11:30 AM on Wednesday, May 28, 2025 at Fooks Cemetery in Possum Trot, KY with Earl Minson officiating.
Visitation will be held from 10:30 AM to 11:00 AM on Wednesday at Hughes Funeral Home in Paducah.
You may leave a message of sympathy or light a memorial candle at www.hughesfuneral.com.
