Daddy, it's been two years and you are forever in Our hearts. Loved you then, love you still, Always have and Always will!!! Rest in Paradise Daddy! MUAH!
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!!!

Wassup Pops? Idk where to begin but 1st and foremost i want you to know how much we all miss you. Its still hard not having you around.

I feel you with me all the time. Tell GOD thank you for me. I love you Pops...and i will forever mourn you til i join you. Also let Gran know i miss her dearly too...from her funny faces and her voice to her red cakes and peach cobbler nobody can do it lk her.

Wassup pops? Its so much i want to say but i still get choked up coming to your site. The family is doing great. Still scrambling to step up and trying to fill the huge void u left us. With GOD leading our steps we r getting better and stronger as a family. Mama is doing all she can do and picking up where u left off. Thank u for laying the foundation and raising us to b the best we can b. I know im real good but i know u expect greatness. i fall short everyday trying to b the man u want me to b but dont worry im striving to get smarter, better, stronger, and go harder everyday n my strive for perfection. i will do my part to b more like u in 2015 and hold the family down the way u expected me to. I love u POPS!!!! Mourning u til i join u.....til then keep watching over us and keep putting n good words for us n The Lords house....Love u

Hey sweetheart I know your spirit is always with us. I've been sick the last few days just now feeling good enough post my comments. The holidays are just not the same without you and momma. Having the doves which we affectionately named after you has helped tremendously. They seem to chime in at the right time. I will always love you baby no amount of time or distance will ever change that. I feel your presence in everything I do. Thank you for always being there. Hold it down until we see one another again. BTW: Your kids are doing great we made some terrific kids/grands

I Love you Daddy Always&Forever More, and I will always be continuously thankful for having you in our lives. Sending Kisses Long Distance. Muah!!!!

Hey my love it's been awhile. There's not a day I don't think about you. Every Sunday after church we come by to give our regards. I promised Chan'nel I will replace your flowers this week. God Bless it will be done when I see you on Sunday. I feel your spirit is forever near. Our love for one another will be Always and Forever my love. Until God blesses me to see you again. I'm playing dominoes with my mom. Holding my own after being married to a pro. Thank you for all the lessons you taught me over the years. There will never be another you. God claimed one of the best. I feel so blessed to have had you in my life. Our children are doing their best keeping things together. Thank you and God again for all of my blessings. I see you in each one of them.

Fathers Day only comes once a year but one day is far from enough to celebrate what a wonderful father you were to all of us...The PERFECT FATHER is an understatement. u meant so much to us words can never justify how much. you gave your all in everything u did and showed us what unconditional love felt like. Some mornings my stomach hurts my heart aches and im overcome with emotions as i try to keep the tears from pouring out. Some days im confused. Some days im lost. Some days i still ask why? But i know your n a better place pops....but man do i miss u. Even though u wasnt with us n the flesh i no u was sitting right there with us while we was laughing crying and enjoying each other and watching da spurs beat the heat as a family. How i wish i could turn back the hands of time. I love u pop lk none other. Until we meet again im going to mourn u til i join u....

Honey there are no words that can express how much you continue to mean to all of us. The love you gave me will last a life time. It's so hard to believe it has already been a year. We shared a lifetime together and I will always cherish each and every year we had. You are one in a million!!!! Love you always and forever.

Happy Daddy's Day to the greatest man I've known. ... Daddy words could never express the way I feel inside I love u so much. This past year has been challenging in more ways then one and as sad as it is that you're gone you've taught us so much so your memory forever lives on. I light this candle for you daddy because I know even in my darkest hour your still with us guiding us through the rough times. I lay this flower for you for always being someone I can count on through good and bad. And I leave this note for you to say thank you for being the first man to show me what a real man is and for not just being just a father but a real DADDY. Missing you much and loving you always. Happy DADDY'S DAY! !!!!

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!! ✊

Missing You!!!!

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.
