James Edwin Crandall

James (Ed) is preceded in death by his parents Kenneth & Wilma Crandall and his brother Kenneth (Wayne) Crandall. He is survived by his brothers Richard (Rick) Crandall, Ronald (Ron) Crandall and his sister Cheryl (Crandall) Dusso. His son Joshua Crandall, several grandchildren and his beloved cat Thor.

He attended Merritt Hutton High School in Thornton, Colorado (Thornton High School), where he excelled in many sports and graduated in 1964. He went on to attend college at Western Wyoming Community College in Rock Springs, Wyoming. He then joined the Air Force where he served from 1966-1971.

James loved all the Colorado sports teams, but the BRONCOS were his #1 favorite. He was also a big fan of NASCAR, Indy & Formula One racing. He was thrilled to say he went to both the Denver Gran Prix and the Phoenix Grand Prix. He also had a passion for playing Xbox, and had many years of experience, joy and frustration.

He loved to tell stories and never left a single detail out, which led to a very long lengthy story. He also had a great sense of humor and ended most of his long stories with something funny.

James never met a stranger and not only did he live, but he lived life!

A graveside service will be held on Wednesday, August 4, 2021 at 9:00AM at Fort Logan National Cemetery.
