Joe is in my personal "Encouragers Hall of Fame"! What a flood of memories have come back to us. We love the Crabtree family and will continue to pray for you.

I knew your Dad and Mom, many years ago.  My daughter, Kathy King Brimberry went to school with Joe's brother, Doug Crabtree.  My Mom and Dad were good friends of the Crabtree family years ago......Leonard & Ida Lang...Brownfield.  A great family. Deepest Sympathy to all the family.  Fay Marie King

Joe was always a pleasant, friendly man. I always enjoyed visiting with him and Mary Sue at our family reunions. I lost touch with them as I have many of my family but they have always been in my heart. He's in Heaven now with all the family who have gone on ahead. We'll see him again one day. Mary Sue and Randal, may God hold you close and give you comfort. It's never, ever easy to lose someone we love but God is always beside us and our loved ones are healthy and happy and we will see them again.

Joe was my friend. He was always there for me when I needed anything.
Joe loved his Lord Jesus Christ and his walk was a  witness to his faith.
Heaven has gained a Saint but a hole has been left on this old earth which cannot be filled.

You were a great father to me. I learned so much from you growing up and even as an adult. I don't know how you did everything, from teaching bible studies in your care group, building and fixing everything from houses to cars, mission work in India and Cambodia, teaching at One Hope Church, Torah Club, men's breakfast group, & taking care of mom and the house, and so much more. I'm so proud that you are my dad! I'll see you on the other side.

Joe was a great man with a servant's heart.  I am so proud to be able to call him "friend."  I know he is in a better place, but I will miss him and his kind words and support.

A good godly man. Joe was always hospitable and a praying man. God bless Mary Sue and the family.

For an "older" guy :) Joe had some of the freshest cutting edge ideas to help us in the mission work in Cambodia. He is going to be greatly missed.

Rest in Peace Joe.....I appreciated your friendship while you were a RLO with TDEM.  You were always there when we needed you.

So sorry to hear this.  Joe was such a sweet, kind, caring young man when we were in school. When I was new to Brownfield High School, he was one of the first to say hello and make me feel more secure.  So sorry for you, the family.  Joe will be spending Christmas in Heaven with Jesus.  That is a wonderful thing, for him. You are in my prayers.
