Ken Dwayne Crowe

After graduating from high school, Ken made the decision to defend his country proudly by enlisting in the United States Marine Corp. He served from 1979-1983, completed a tour in Iraq and retired an E8. After retirement Mr. Crowe completed two years of college. When one thinks of Ken the first thought that comes to mind is his life full of service. He was a humble, kind, good man. From serving in the military to working 29 years on the police force and two years on boarder control, he lived to serve those around him.

He was a devout Catholic attending church whenever possible and was a fourth degree Knight with the Knights of Columbus.

In March of 2014 he married the one woman that truly was meant for him. He and his wife Kenda Lawson built a life together that most dream of. Ken’s most important hobby was his family, and he dedicated every minute he could to making memories with them. They all enjoyed family game nights with cards, movies, and laughter. One thing his family loved most about him was his kind and gentle heart. Ken would often pick the most unique Christmas trees because he feared it would be left behind or take in any stray that wondered to him.

In addition to his loving wife, he is survived by his children Christopher Crowe, Sarah (Jimmy) Gibbs, Samantha McCallister Crowe, Zech “Zack” (Brenda) McCallister, Hannah (Cole) Parks, and Trevor Crowe; grandchildren Kylee Crowe, Chloe Crowe, Noah Alkire, Josie Alkire, Cannon Milikan, Nolan Milikan, Colt Milikan, Isaiah McCallister, Sophia McCallister, and Baby Eliza Jane Gibbs. He also leaves behind his sisters Judy Swope and Vicki McCullough Mebraw, ten nieces and ten nephews.

Visitation with family and friends will be in the chapel of Adair Funeral & Cremation services on Tuesday February 28, 2023, from 5:00-9:00 pm. Funeral services will be Wednesday March 1, 2023, at 10:30 am with burial to follow at Swiss Cemetery.
