James Crow Obituary
James Paul Dale Crow, 38 of Houston, Delaware passed away at home on Sunday, November 23, 2025. He was the son of David and Jodi Crow.
James was a 2006 graduate of Milford High School where he was a member of the FFA. During that time, he also attended youth group at Avenue United Methodist Church. He enjoyed building things and worked in the construction industry. In his spare time, he enjoyed fishing, listening to music, driving his truck on back roads, and watching his big TV. He was inquisitive about the universe and enjoyed learning about Egyptian history. James loved helping people, and would give them the shirt off his back if they needed it. But, his biggest joy in life was being married to Samantha who he knew since kindergarten, and being a dad to his daughters Hillary and Heavenly.
In addition to his parents, David and Jodi Crow, James is survived by his loving wife, Samantha; daughters, Hillary and Heavenly; siblings, Michael Crow, Zackary Crow, Stefani Becker, Shannon Sollenberger, Nicole Murphy; and numerous other extended family members.
