Gerald Irl Croshaw passed away on his 79th birthday, Wednesday February 26, 2025. He celebrated his birthday in Heaven with his Lord and Savior. He was born in Grand Rapids to the late Nicholas and Lucille Croshaw on February 26, 1946. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 54 years Sharon Croshaw, sons Nick and Joshua Croshaw and one sister Maureen Chamberlain. He was preceded in death by his brothers Nick and Richard and one sister Marilyn.
Gerald was an absolute work horse. He served in the Army during Vietnam. After his service, he spent his career as a roofer. When he wasn't busy working, he enjoyed cutting wood, hunting, fishing, spending time at his pond, doing scratch offs and watching his grand dogs. He was a loving husband, father and brother who will be greatly missed. According to his wishes cremation has taken place, and no services will be held.
