Publish in a newspaper
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.
