It was my pleasure to work with Michael for the past year. His dedication and compassion were his greatest assets. I did not meet his family, but I felt like I knew them because he spoke of them often and with affection. I know his co workers will miss him terribly, but I can only imagine the sadness within his family. Wishing his wife and family peace and comfort through this difficult time. RIP Mr. Crabtree!

The Crabtree Family have been a big part of my life for many years. Michael was the type of man you very seldom see or meet anymore, his family always came first in his life. He loved his family especially his wife Anita. God bless this family and see them through this sad time. Fly high Michael Crabtree, we will miss you deeply, until we all meet in Heaven one day soon.
