Kenneth Wayne Crawford Jr. entered into rest on Wednesday, May 25th, 2022. He was born in Maryland but grew up in Worthington, Ohio. He was preceded in death by his parents, Kenneth Wayne Crawford Sr. and Roselind Yvonne Crawford (Aldridge) as well as his niece Brittany Rose Bagwell.

He graduated from Ohio State University with a masters degree in anesthesia. He served as a Certified Nurse Anesthetist for over 30 years, caring for patients as they were in surgery or giving birth. He enjoyed easing the pain of others in and out of the hospital and was loved and appreciated by his patients and peers.

He enjoyed travel and adventure as he held both a scuba diving license and a pilot's license. He minored in History and owned dozens of Presidential photos and visited every one of their historical homes.

His faith was very important to him and he was re-baptised along side his granddaughter Adrienne at the Kirbyville Seventh Day Adventist church. He served as a Deacon there and opened a health food store called Ark's Pantry.

Ken is survived by his three children, Ashley Brooke Crawford, Kimberly Regan Howard (husband Kris Howard) and Kenneth Wayne Crawford III, their mother and former spouse of 18 years, Katlyn Crawford. His brother Kevin Crawford (wife Trina Crawford) and sister Karen Bagwell (husband Jeff Bagwell). His four grandchildren, Adrienne Crawford, Chase Howard, Justin Howard and Zoey Howard. His many nieces and nephews: Kevin Crawford Jr.(Dasha Crawford), Caleb Crawford (Hannah Crawford), Cambrie Ray (Zackary Ray), and Carissa Hamby.
