Bryan Crispell Obituary
Jan. 4, 1957 - May 19, 2021
Scotts Valley, California
Services will be held in Santa Cruz on Wednesday June 2nd for Bryan Crispell who passed away at his residence unexpectedly. He was 64 years old. Bryan was affectionately known to his loved ones and companions as "BEBE", and was born in Poughkeepsie, New York. He moved to California as a teenager and graduated from Aragon High School in San Mateo in 1975. For more than 47 years, Bryan worked in the health care industry. At the time of his death, he was the facilities operations manager with Sutter Maternity and Surgery Center in Santa Cruz. He leaves countless friends and co-workers who were the benefactors of his knowledge and leadership, especially during this past year. Bebe was instrumental in the vaccination distribution procedure in parking lot adjacent to the hospital.
His family was of paramount importance in his life, and he quietly dedicated most of his free time supporting his six children in all of their scholastic and athletic endeavors. Bebe coached soccer. He also enjoyed volunteering and videotaping the football games that the coaches used for instruction. He will forever be remembered as the consummate "team dad" to all the parents and schoolmates of Santa Cruz and Scotts Valley Schools.
Many fond memories will also continue to be cherished by his family of Bebe's love for music. He possessed a wonderful singing voice and enjoyed all genres of music. He was left-handed and played a 12 string guitar. Bebe had a passion for motorcycles and vintage scooters, and enjoyed working on them and riding with his friends.
He is survived by his wife, Aileen of Scotts Valley; his son and daughter-in-law, Jason and Sherrell Lee of Los Gatos; sons Andrew of San Antonio, TX; and Brendyn of San Mateo; his daughter and son-in-law, Bryanna and David of San Mateo and his daughter and son Danyelle and Austyn both of Scotts Valley. Bebe also leaves his beloved grandchildren: Damiyin, Ezra, and Kali along with his two sisters, Sue of San Mateo and Kendra of Sacramento.
Family and friends will gather on June 2nd, for a celebration of life at Benito and Azzaro Pacific Gardens Chapel beginning at 12:00 pm.

I remember him as the boisterous and always laughing younger brother of my best friend when I was a child in San Mateo. I send live to his family.

Brian had a dry sense of humor and when I retired he gave me a plaque that had a gold painted hammer with a short extension cord, he called my trust power tool!

Bryan was an amazing co-worker and will be greatly missed. He was full of energy and always had a smile, even at 5 in the morning! My condolences to the family, it was apparent he was very loved.

Sad to see someone so full of service to his family, community and job to leave us. I had the pleasure to work with Bryan at SMSC and PAMF SC over many construction projects and emergency situations. Bryan always had a pure sense of responsibility and willingness to get it done for patients, staff and physicians. Bryan will truly be missed.
