Michael Crookham Obituary
Mike was born in 1958 in Washington D.C., the son of the late Perry and Dorothy Crookham. He was a graduate of Robert E. Lee High School and retired as a baker for Giant Food Markets. Mike was a member of the Buick Club of America and the Moose Lodge in Front Royal. He enjoyed being a vanner, working on his Buicks, music, playing drums and his motorcycles. Mike could always find a way to bring people together, he loved socializing and was always up for a good debate.
He is survived by his wife, Mari Louise whom he married on May 6, 2000, his sister, Lynn King of Pittsburgh, PA; nephew, Seth; and nieces Ellen & Jane.
There will be a Celebration of Mike's Life that will be announced at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in memory of Mike Crookham to Warren County Humane Society, 1245 Progress Dr., Front Royal, VA 22630.

May you rest in perpetual light and peace. My prayers and thoughts are with friends and family. Mike was part of my childhood and young life, lighting up the stage in high school and our neighborhood with his presence and humor.

I´m so sorry for your loss. I lost touch with Michael back in the late 80s when I moved out of the area I remember him well as my friend . He was one of the good ones. I hadn´t seen him in probably 30 years and I ran into he and Mary at Martin´s in Front Royal driving his deuce and a quarter. He will be missed and may his rest be peaceful.
