Donald Crow Obituary
Don was a man of many talents and a generous mentor to those around him. Whether he was tending to his bees-a passion he held for 30 years-or operating his custom sawmill, he found joy in hard work and nature. His mechanical brilliance was best seen in his restoration of vintage cars, including a 1968 Ford Mustang and an award-winning 1939 Ford Deluxe Coupe that graced both the silver screen and auto shows. Between his Lionel train collections and his ability to build complex machinery from scratch, Don's legacy is one of creativity, precision, and kindness.
He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all those whose lives he touched with his wisdom and craftsmanship.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend the funeral service at The Chapel at First Baptist Church of Covington, 16054 Murphy Road, Covington, LA 70433 on Thursday, January 22, 2026 at 11:00 AM with visitation beginning at 10:00 AM until service time.

I loved spending time with Uncle Don in his workshop, whether working on the lathe or being introduced to beekeeping and falconry. He also loved sharing his train room with our boys. We will all miss him.
Love, Kristen, Tracy, Oliver and Isaac
