Darrell Crane Obituary

1943 ~ 2013
Beloved father, grandfather, brother, and Friend passed away unexpectedly on Nov. 5, 2013. He was born March 9, 1943. Rex was an avid NHRA fan who went to numerous races with his son. The week before Rex passed away he saw his favorite NHRA driver, John Force, win his 16th championship in Las Vegas. Rex also held many drag racing records and won numerous trophies in his youth. He enjoyed racing with his brother Brent, who died young. Rex was a good friend with Larry H Miller and was part of the Larry H Miller team. We will miss our racing and fishing buddy and so will his spoiled rotten dogs.
There will be a celebration of life on Sunday, December 8th 2013 from 3 pm to 6 pm at 3058 west Don Francisco Drive, Taylorsville.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Published by The Salt Lake Tribune from Dec. 4 to Dec. 5, 2013.
