Paul Cranick Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Baxter Funeral & Cremation Service on Aug. 6, 2024.
Paul "P.J." Lee Cranick Jr., 13, unexpectedly passed away on Saturday, August 3, 2024. P.J. was born on September 17, 2010, in Battle Creek, MI, the son of Ashley Fox and Paul Cranick.
P.J. was one of a kind with his big eyes and contagious smile. P.J. was a fighter from day one, fighting just to be normal, fighting to make it through another seizure and so much more in between. He loved to play outside, play on his phone and ride or watch motorcycles. P.J. loved his family very much and touched many people in his short time on earth.
P.J. is survived by his mother, Ashley A. Fox (George Clawson); father, Paul Cranick; bonus dad, Tony Rice; god-mother, Christina (Neil) Perry; brothers, Logan Fox, Noah Cranick; step-sister, Madlyne Albright; grandfather, Bruce Cranick; grandmother, Janet Cranick; uncles, Donnie (Morgan Shepard) Funk, Butch (Rebecca Denton) Williams, Timothy (Christen Klein) Flansburg, James (Angel) Cantrell; Aunts, Nicole (Josh) Burns, Brooke Lewis, Mandi (Shayne Kritzman) Williams, Breanna Meehan; and many cousins.
P.J. was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents; all great grandparents; his aunt and a couple great uncles.
