Lowell Dean Crumley, 89, passed away on May 17, 2026, born December 18, 1936. He will be remembered as a beloved and devoted husband, father, and family man whose steady loyalty and faithful spirit shaped the lives of those who knew him. His courage was evident not only in what he did, but in the quiet constancy with which he met life’s responsibilities and cared for others.
Lowell served in the U.S. Navy aboard the aircraft carrier USS Bon Homme Richard, a chapter of his life that reflected both bravery and duty. He later built a distinguished career with 3M Company that spanned 37 years, retiring as a district service manager responsible for 17 states—work that spoke to his dedication, dependability, and steadfast commitment to doing things well.
