Gale Crabill Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Aspen Mortuaries - Lakewood on Jan. 12, 2026.
Gale Tracy Crabill, born September 9, 1957, in Denver, Colorado, passed away peacefully on January 6, 2026, at the age of 68. To those who cherished him, he was simply known as Tracy-a devoted husband, loving father, and proud grandfather whose kindness and warmth touched everyone fortunate enough to know him.

Tracy was the beloved son of Jack Crabill and Marjorie McBee Crabill, who instilled in him the enduring values of hard work and familial devotion that guided him throughout his life. He leaves behind his cherished wife of 48 years, Joyce Elaine (Price) Crabill, and his children: Chad Crabill, Jessica Cole and her husband Steve, and Kelley Morehead. He was also a proud grandfather to Chloe Cole and Preston Cole who were central to his joy and happiness.

Tracy dedicated his professional life as a skilled mechanic and later became a respected Snap-on Tool Dealer, earning admiration from both colleagues and customers with his dedication and expertise. His unwavering love for family, generous spirit, and the countless memories he crafted with those closest to him will be his lasting legacy.

A celebration of Tracy's remarkable life will be held in April, with details to follow. Family and friends will come together to honor his memory and share stories of a life well lived.

Though he will be deeply missed, Tracy will forever remain in the hearts of those who loved him
