Publish in a newspaper

Jesse Earl Crews, 67, of Yakima, WA, was born December 17, 1957, and entered his eternal home on August 18, 2025, passing peacefully at MultiCare Yakima Memorial Hospital.

Remembered as simple, friendly, and caring, Jesse graduated from Eisenhower High School in 1977 and later worked many plumbing and hardware store jobs, followed by many years at Lowe's before retiring. He enjoyed fishing the Yakima River, restoring older vehicles, bowling in a league, visiting Legends Casino, and, later on, monthly lunches with high school friends.

Jesse deeply loved his family and took much pride in his children and grandchildren.

He is survived by his daughters, Megan Crews (granddaughter Skylar Sanchez) of Summerville, SC, and Kaitlin Crews (granddaughter London Davidson) of Virginia Beach, VA, his sister, Robbie (Randy) Johnson of Yakima, WA, nephew, Chad (Brynn) Johnson of Yakima, WA, and niece, Chanda (Kevin) Anderson of Bend, OR.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Wednesday, September 3, 2025, from 2-4:30pm at the Eagles Auxiliary Room.

Shaw & Sons Funeral Home is caring for the family. Memories and condolences may be shared at shawandsons.com.
