This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Karl Crenshaw, 59, born on June 19, 1953 and passed away on June 15, 2013. We will remember him forever.

In Our Hearts

WE thought of YOU with Love today,

But that is nothing new.

WE thought about you yesterday.

And days before that too.

WE think of you in silence.

WE often speak your name.

Now all we have is Memories.

And your picture in a frame.

Your memory is our keepsake.

With which we'll Never Part.

God has you in his keeping.

WE have YOU in Our HEARTS.

 

Love You Daddy,

ALWAYS & FOREVER MORE!!!

10yrs.10 whole years. And its still freshly embedded in my mind. The worst day of my life. Fighting back the tears as I type.. Memories of you cross my mind constantly. Tears of happiness still come down even after 10yrs. Often reminiscing about your old sayings and the man you raised us to be. Your memory and legacy will always live on. Your granddaughter & grandson know about you as if you were still here. I remind Bradlee constantly that he was named after you and he is walking in some big shoes. On days likes this. Daddy I miss you like crazy...I love you...and I'm forever grateful for everything you taught me. The game you gave me is still relevant even in 2023. I will continue you to mourn you til I join you. Love, Your favorite son. You are missed. Rest peacefully in Heaven. ✊

8 years later and the wound is still fresh. Still painful. But overall I'm thankful. This week I laughed...I cried...I smiled. This week is by far the toughest week of the year for me. The Crenshaws are still carrying your Legacy on and I'm still carrying the torch making sure you are never forgotten. If we don't see each other all at once for no more than 3 times a year just know this week is one of them. No matter where we at or what we're going through, we will always come together and put on for you Pops!! I love you and I miss you!! Happy Birthday!! Happy Father's Day!! Thank you for everything!! I'm going to forever mourn you til I join you!! ✊

Daddy we miss you like crazy down here. Can't believe it's been a whole 7yrs since you were called home. They said with time that it was supposed to get easier. But in this case I miss you more and more every year. Some days seem harder than others without you. You were my bestfriend, my idol, my everything. You left a huge impact on my life and I'm still trying to put on for you in everything that I do. Love you pop!!

Happy Birthday to the most amazing father a kid could have. It's so hard to believe that it's been 6yrs since GOD called you home. Selfishly I wish that you were here with us to celebrate this day; but I'm at peace knowing that you are with our Lord and savior. I can't even imagine how much fun you must be having partying and dancing with the stars. Daddy I love you more than you'll ever know. Hope you enjoyed the sight of us coming together as we do every year in honor of this day....and like I always say; I'm going to mourn you til I join you. Love you Pops!! Your favorite son, Brandon Crenshaw

Happy Father's Day Pops!! Words can't express how hard it still is to live life without you. People say with time it gets easier; but the truth is days like this hurt just as much as it did in 2013. 6yrs later and I still find myself breaking down in tears of joy over the precious memories you left us with. I hope you know that the legacy you left behind has only grown and strengthened since you departed. The Crenshaw family is BIGGER, BETTER, and STRONGER than ever. If you were still here on earth you would be so amazed how many grandchildren you have now. Especially how many grandsons you have now. We have each named your grandson in your honor and Your blood will forever run through our veins. We will never let your legacy or name die. Hope you know what you meant to this family. We still lean on your strength and wisdom to get by. Missing you like crazy. I LOVE YOU POPS!! And as I've always told you, I will mourn you til i join you!! Pix coming soon.

Daddy I know you are smiling down on us glad that your Crenshaw bunch is holding strong. Today was a sad day of course but so joyful at the same time. We threw down like we was supposed too and all the family got together in your remembrance. It’s truly special what Mommy O and you made Daddy O. We haven’t forgot what you instilled in us about family. As you know, them Crenshaw boys are in the house and I know they know you. GOD is good praise his name. Thanks for teaching your sons how to be men. We will hold you down and mourn you till we join you. Love you Papa Bear.

Wassup pops...these 4yrs have flew by but the wound of you not being here is still fresh and still hurts deeply. I know its been awhile since I been on your website. I used to log on here faithfully every morning at work but the devil has been trying to distract me and knock me down but I'm still standing because the man up above. The way you raised me to keep my head up even when I'm down, stand tall and firm on my own two feet even when I'm weak, and stick my chest out like a man and handle it. I miss you dearly and severely and I apologize if it ever seem like you are forgotten but I know you know thats not the case. I hope that you know that you are always on my mind and I try constantly to make you proud and I always try to become the man you want me to be. I love you pop...still mourning you until I join you. Forever in my heart forever more..RIP POPS.

Tears of laughter and joy is all you bring to our faces...you were an incredible man, father, and true inspiration. This day 4yrs ago we almost fell and crumbled like the dirt beneath us but fast forward to today 4yrs later with the advice and life lessons you gave us in your short time here and mamas strength has held us together and we are now stronger than ever. We are carrying the Crenshaw name with pride and I will never let the fire burn out nor let the torch you gave me fall.....Sincerely your twin, your favorite son, the heir to your throne, Brandon L. Crenshaw

Wassup pops!!!! Words can't even describe how much and how bad I'm missing you. I can't believe it has been 3yrs since GOD called you home. I still think about you everyday. You are still my idol, my hero, my role model, and my best friend. That will never change. Know that I'm trying to be the man you would want me to be. Mama is doing great and has been doing her best holding the family up and holding us together. I know you are proud of her. Even though me and Lance don't play dominoes as much as we used to every now then we get a chance to sit at the kitchen table and reminisce on the good ol days. I miss those days with a passion. Even though its been 3yrs it still feels like yesterday...Hope you enjoy the show tonight. We will be putting on for you in your honor. Love you POPS. Mourning you til i join you...

It seems like dreams are finally coming to past with the fire department I'm almost there. I know gran is happy and smiling. I miss you as much as the first day and pray for strength daily. It's hard to hold back the tears of joy you brought me being my father. I will be queuing it up this weekend trying to mimic you. I will be smoking a brisket and some ribs

Good morning Pops. Just stopping by to check on you. I hope your not mad at me in any way as i been so busy that i haven't been honoring all my promises.

I will be back on top of everything i told you i would in due time. Please ask GOD to give me strength. Love you daddy. I will mourn you til i join you...!!!!

Happy Anniversary "Big Poppa Pump" we and Brandon took care as you would have wanted. We went to church and then to Cheddars and ordered her a ribeye steak. It wasn't as good as when you made it but had to keep the tradition going. Next year GOD willing I will make it myself. Played bingo in the evening but no cigar. Love you forever and always as mama would say.

Daddy it's your two year anniversary and you are still so deeply missed.
What a man what a man. We will never be able to fill your shoes but we are getting stronger daily. Time doesn't heal everything because the pain still cuts so deep. I know if it were your choice you would still be here. The family is finally at peace knowing you are with the KING.

Missing You!!!!

June 15, 2019

My Love it is always so difficult coming to say how much you are missed. Today makes six years that you have been gone. Time seems to stand still. It feels like only yesterday you were here. Our time is marked by our new grand children that have been born since you’ve been gone. We finally have nothing but boys since August 2018. Genyea, Lance, Alexus and Brandon have blessed us with boys. They each seem to share your spirit. I feel in my heart that you have visited everyone just to see how we are. We love you sweetheart and always will. You will always be my better half.

Good morning daddy woke up this morning and you were heavy on my mind I've been so reluctante to write on this site as I always felt like deep down you knew my thoughts, prayers, and most haunting fears.  But you said no fear is too big for you are with me always and you can still help me through it all so I'm here. Daddy there are times I still can't believe this is now my reality it's been almost four months since God called you home and although I know your in a better place, is it still selfish of me to want you here.  There are times when the car is acting up, I'm having problems with the girls, at home, or at work, I just want and need to  talk to you and I can't hear back from you.  I stayed angry with you for so long some things I later found out was my fault bacause I didn't know the whole truth and didn't understand.  If I could tell anyone in the world now that could hear me my most intimate word of expression is to forgive and forgive often.  Although I loved you deeply God called you home with my unforgiven heart. I later understood that you forgave me as did God it was me that had to forgive myself.  So I'm here today with a changed heart and a renewed outlook on life.  Doesn't always mean that I want go backwards just means that I now have a better understanding on what it takes to go forward.  Daddy as your picture hangs over my desk at work and those tough times come I often times find myself looking up at you smiling I get that "WWDD" and things always seem to get just a little better. Daddy you are still my rock that unwavering force that has always been there through my ups, downs, good, and bad.  My stuborn times and all the times in between.  I love you daddy and NO amount of time or distance can ever take that away.
