CRANMORE, Richard George, 67, a resident of Prattville, AL, passed away peacefully from this world and is now ALIVE in the kingdom of Heaven. There are no words to express how blessed he was to be surrounded by so much love as he took his last breath in his home on Friday, November 22, 2024. It was one of the most powerful and magnificent moments our family has ever experienced in life. A Celebration of Life will be held on Tuesday, November 26, 2024 at 2:00 pm from White Pond Baptist Church, 1155 County Road 49, Marbury, AL, 36051 with Randy McDaniel officiating. He was born on January 5, 1957 in Newburgh, New York. He was the son of Jackie Eldewey Cranmore and the late Ruth Mildred Palmer Cranmore. He was a wonderful father, son, brother, uncle and friend who always cared about the feelings of others above himself and finding the positive in all things. Mr. Cranmore was preceded in death by his mother, Ruth Mildred Palmer Cranmore; sister-in-love, Cindy McCain Cranmore; and his partner, Debbie Burleson. He is survived by daughter, Celeste Cranmore Byrne (aka Rosemarie) (Patrick); two sisters, Rhonda Stange (Larry Bruce) and Debbie Bush (Curtis); three brothers, James Cranmore (Sandra), Wesley Cranmore (Bonnie) and Gary Cranmore (Cindy); his best friend, Kay Mosley; aunt, Karen Cargill; host of nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews; extended family and friends; furry friend, Dexter Cranmore; grand dogs, Cajun and Charlie Byrne. We would also like to acknowledge the God Speed biker ministries and all other biker associations with which he was affiliated. We will miss the Infamous White Wide Glide (Harley Davidson). He loved deeply and was loved by all.
