Jerry "Joe" Crowe, 50, of Thornton, Colorado formerly of Bushnell, Illinois passed away surrounded by family at his mothers home. He was born July 10, 1974 in Canton, IL to Jerry Mac and Mary Ellen (Crook) Crowe.

He was preceded in death by his father Jerry Mac Crowe.
Joes world was full of new things to try and places to see. He especially loved the Colorado mountains, but was always delighted to return home to Illinois. He loved spending time with family, board game nights with friends, sweet iced tea with mamas vegetable soup, and never turning down a good adventure. His face always lit up when his kids came by.
