Cecil Crawford Obituary

The heart is never ready, the time is never right to say goodbye. Cecil Crawford fought the good fight and on December 17, 2024, joined his Heavenly Father, his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and his Heavenly Family. Cecil was a Loving Son, Husband, Son-in-law, Brother-in-law, Uncle, Grand Uncle, Cousin and Friend.
Cecil was an excellent cook and loved to BBQ. He enjoyed cooking for family holidays, birthdays and spontaneous gatherings. He was known for "Uncle Cecil's Ribs," "Uncle Cecil's Bean Dip," "Beer Pancakes," at Walker Lake and Cecil's Deli when he would fix lunches for Britt's Diesel, where his wife worked. No one went away hungry and he always sent "travelers" with everyone. Cecil's generosity knew no bounds. He deeply loved his family and friends. Our heartfelt thanks for the compassionate care Cecil received during his many Doctor appointments, tests, blood draws, infusions, radiation treatments, and emergency visits, to Carson-Tahoe Cancer Center Dr. Dina K. Tack, M.D., McKenzie Comba, PA-C and Staff, Terrie Bybee RN, BSN, Brie Serfoss, and Klanci Madieros. Carson-Tahoe Radiation Oncology Associates Gary E Campbell, MD and Staff. Northern Inyo Rural Healthcare Clinic, Dr. Tom Boo and Staff. Northern Inyo Healthcare District Emergency Staff, Imaging Staff, Lab Technicians, Oncology Navigator Chrissy and the entire Infusion Center, the Receptionists, all who made his journey more bearable.
A Celebration of Life will be held on March 22, 2025, at the Bishop First United Methodist Church, Fellowship Hall at 1:00 p.m. The Family is truly blessed with the amazing out pour of love during this difficult time. Donations in Cecil's memory can be made to; Carson Tahoe Cancer Center, for either Merriner Cottages or the Gas Card fund for cancer patients that live out of the area, Post Office Box 2168 Carson City, NV. 89702-2168, Eastern Sierra Cancer Alliance, P.O.Box 1523, Bishop, CA. 93515 or the charity of one's choice. Cecil was deeply loved and is forever in our hearts. Sleep in heavenly peace, my Love.

So sad to hear of Ricky's passing. We were very close families when we lived on van loon road. Ricky would always beat us to the bus stop so he could be first in line. Sad our family drifted apart. Georgena Crawford Rennick - Cortez Colorado.
