Captain Michael Don Crawford: Mission Complete
Born January 3, 1964, at Mercy Hospital in Oklahoma City, Earth Sector 405, to Don and Patsy Crawford, Michael Don Crawford spent 61 years charting adventures across this blue planet before beginning his next great mission among the stars.
On February 10, 1990, he joined forces with his co-pilot and love of his life, Tammy Stacey, and together they blazed through life's galaxies-fueling their ship with laughter, love, and a little danger. Their chosen profession? A thrilling, turbo-charged pursuit of justice known to Earthlings as the repossession business-where Mike proved you can steal cars legally if you're quick, clever, and unafraid of adventure.
Mike was a man of many talents-a jack of all trades, master of none, but better than a master of one. Whether tinkering on home base, upgrading his backyard terrain, firing up the grill like a cosmic chef, or conquering video game worlds, he did it all with a grin and a rock 'n' roll soundtrack humming through his soul.
He loved fiercely-his family, his animals, and especially his grandsons, Aidyn and Trevor Kirn, who inherited his spirit for mischief and wonder. His laughter was the kind that filled a room, the kind you could still hear long after he'd left it.
At 1:25 a.m. on October 15, Captain Mike received final clearance for launch. The mothership arrived silently, engines glowing with starlight, and he boarded without hesitation-destination: a galaxy far, far away.
We imagine he's now exploring new worlds, trading stories with those who departed before him, and tuning the radio to his favorite rock 'n' roll frequencies that echo across the cosmos.
Left to carry his mission forward are his beloved wife Tammy Crawford of Oklahoma City, daughter TaCoy Kirn and grandsons Aidyn and Trevor Kirn of Choctaw Oklahoma, brothers Billy Barnes and John (and wife Julie Barnes), sister-in-law Gail Hull, Robin and husband Mike Perry, and a constellation of nieces and nephews who will forever keep his legacy orbiting in their hearts.
Mike's departure leaves the crew with an empty seat-but his light continues to guide us. As we look to the night sky, we'll search for that bright, rebellious star with the sound of a distant guitar riff knowing Captain Crawford made it safely home.
The family of Mike Crawford would like to extend their deepest gratitude to Dr. Johnson, and the Cardiovascular Surgery Team, and the dedicated staff of the ICU at Baptist Integris Medical Center. Your tireless efforts, skill, and compassionate care meant the world to us during such a difficult time. We are forever thankful for the kindness, comfort, and professionalism you showed to Mike and our family.
Mission complete. Warp speed, Mike
