Eric Crandall Obituary
Memphis, TN - Funeral services celebrating the life of Frederick (Eric) Robert Crandall, IV, 40, of Memphis, Tennessee, will be held at 2:00 P.M. on Tuesday, May 25, 2021, in the chapel of Mulhearn Funeral Home in West Monroe, Louisiana, with Brother Rick Crandall officiating. Interment will follow in Mulhearn Memorial Park Cemetery in Monroe, Louisiana.
Visitation will be held on Tuesday, May 25, 2021, from 1:00 P.M. until the time of the service.
Pallbearers are Wesley Bonnette, Doyle Bonnette, Lyn Meredith, Robert Lamb, Toby Sutherlin, and Gregg Wilbanks.
Eric Crandall was born on May 3, 1981, to Rick and Mary Crandall in Macon, Georgia. After a brief, severe illness, Eric went home to Heaven on May 21, 2021. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Fred and Elaine Crandall and Harry and Virginia Radcliffe.
Eric is survived by his parents, Rick and Mary Crandall and by his sisters, Becky Crandall and Katie Bonnette (Wesley). He is also survived by his beloved nephew and niece, John Luke Bonnette and Mary Katherine Bonnette, his uncles, Harry Radcliffe and Bill Crandall (Cecilia), his aunt, Leslie Crabtree (Jack), many cousins, and many good friends.
Our family has special appreciation for Eric's best friend, Laida Dawa, as well as his other work friends at the Holiday Inn and Suites Memphis Southeast-Germantown. We will never forget your love for Eric and the gracious kindness you showed our family.
Eric's entire life was a testimony of God's grace and his healing power. In July 1992, he was diagnosed with what should have been a terminal brain tumor; yet, God said "no." In what could only be described as a miracle, the Lord gave him nearly thirty more years to pour into his friends and family. Two years ago, Eric became an even clearer picture of God's ability to restore broken vessels when he rededicated his life to Christ. The past two years have been filled with laughter, love, and even more importantly, a legacy of faith. Soli Deo gloria!

Brother Rick and Miss Mary, I just wanted to let you know that I am praying for you and your family as you grieve the loss of your beloved son.

Rick and Mary, our hearts are grieving with yours. But, praise His Name, we can rest well in knowing where Eric is today. I’ll never ever forget the beautiful little boy who prayed that I would someday have a baby. My life was forever changed by God’s answer to Eric’s prayer. And then when he got sick, I don’t think I had ever stormed the gates of heaven like I did for him. The LORD is good. And now my prayers are for both of you, dear friends, that He will fill every empty place in your hearts with Himself.
Love,
Mary Kiethley
