Tommy Crotzer Obituary

Published by Legacy on Jul. 20, 2023.
Tommy Eugene Crotzer, 76, of Fort Smith, Arkansas passed away on July 19, 2023. He was born in Clarksville, Tennessee on March 31, 1947 to the late Marshall and Pauline Crotzer. He was a devoted father and GP to his two grandchildren. In his youth, Tommy was a skilled basketball player, and at one point, was selected as one of the best basketball athletes in Midstate while living in Clarksville, Tennessee. Tommy enjoyed golfing and visiting Gulf Shores, Alabama. He worked as a Supervisor for Trane Heating and Air for 36 years until his retirement in 2004.
He is preceded in death by his wife, Gloria Crotzer. He is survived by his two daughters, Shasta Young and husband Brent of Fort Smith, Arkansas, Brittany Shea Griffith and husband Tyler of Biloxi, Mississippi; two grandchildren, Gracie and Tyler Colt, along with his companion Vickie Rogers of Alma, Arkansas.
We will always cherish the memories we had with him. We can always look back on our trips to Gulf Shores with joy and play a golf game in his memory. A celebration of his life will be planned at a later date in Gulf Shores, Alabama. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Arkansas Heart Hospital, 10802 Executive Center Drive, Little Rock, AR 72211.
