David Crawford Obituary

Published by Judkins Colonial Home - Plainfield on Sep. 11, 2012.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 "To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven: " David was a wonderful son. He was born on July 13, 1984, to Vivian and George. He will be remembered as a quiet, unassuming and thoughtful young man. David was caring and sharing. He always considered others first. He was a graduate of Middletown High School South in Lincroft, New Jersey. After graduating, he attended Baran Institute of Technology in Windsor, Connecticut. Of all the sports, skateboarding and cars was his passion. September 11, 2001 was a pivotal point in his life which helped to make David more aware of the uncertainties of life. David will always be missed and loved. He was a living expression of the poem, "If" written by Rudyard Kipling. "If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowances for their doubting too: If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or being hated don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;" Service: Monday, September 17, 10 AM Judkins Colonial Home, 428 W.4th Street, Plainfield, NJ, friends may visit 9 AM until time of service at the funeral home.

Today it the 4 year anniversary of daves passing. I think of him almost everyday. Dave and I were new friends, I started hanging out with his group of friend in stl and I spent almost every weekend and most weekdays with them on Main Street. Dave and I had some amazing conversations during that time. He was such a great guy, he was quiet but had so much to contribute. He really made me think about things in a totally different perspective. When he passed it really shook me. It shook me because i was just starting to really make a good friendship and it ended in an instant. Joey called me later in the day to tell me what happened and I just broke down. I was supposed to be with them that night but for some reason I decided to stay home because I had work the next day. I went to the crash site when I got off work and just totally lost it. I ended up finding a piece of his car and took it home with me. That little piece of plastic has been sitting on my dashboard for 4 years. I see it every time I get in my car. It reminds me to wear my seatbelt and that we could be taken at any moment and that's all we get. He is a constant reminder of how short life can be and that we need to make an impact on the ppl we care about. He was a good man that was taken too soon. But he will never be forgotten. I will never forget my short time with him. Dave, I love you and I'll see ya soon ❤
