Thomas CROSSAN Obituary

(1937-2025)

Thomas (Tom) Rennie Crossan of Spokane Valley passed away peacefully on the evening of July 27, 2025.

Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Tom later immigrated to the United States after meeting the love of his life, Colleen, in Southern California. Together they eventually made Spokane their home, building a life filled with joy, laughter, and a large, loving family. Together they raised a beautiful family of five children, nine grandchildren, and 18 great-grandchildren.

A devoted husband, father, and grandfather, Tom was also a faithful Catholic and a pillar of his community. He lived his life guided by humor, faith and kindness, and known for his warm smile, quick wit, and signature Glaswegian patter.

A celebration of Tom's life will be held at:

St. John Vianney Catholic Church

Saturday, September 6, 2025, at 10:00 a.m.

503 N. Walnut Rd., Spokane Valley, WA 99206

Tom will forever be remembered in the hearts of those who loved him - for his laughter, his wisdom, his faith, and his enduring spirit. Lang may yer lum reek!
