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!!!

There were so many things we had plan to do together. I'm doing my best to get what I can done. I was cleaning under our bed and saw all the Christmas wrapping and cards we had bought. I guess the color this year is red. We will be sure to do things just like you would have us. Thanksgiving I'm hoping to get the family together. Larry and Irene may get a chance to join us. Love Always!!!!

Hey Daddy, Sorry I been M.I.A.for awhile. A whole lots been going on since I posted well let's start. Alexus and I started school, finally I'm a step closer to my dreams, but there is still more to just opening the door it's the first step though. I still have many more steps and obstacles to cross,1st day of school I was nervous as heck, but with 5wks down now I'm getting the hang of it

I have been pretty much hanging on to a A average in my Psychology class. Today I had my 1st test so thats going to shifts things a bit. I studied and pretty much did my best, pretty sure you was watching over me. Switching things off me for a minute, Jakayla and Madison also started their 1st day of school in Kinder, I know you was there for that. Woo.. I had a tear drop moment leaving
September 25, 2013
September 25, 2013
her there, but Jakayla pretty much held her own. Mama got a little sensitive w/me but we pulled it together before Jalaizha start looking crazy at us and J see our face and start getting nervous. As you may have know already J had a blast, and she loves school and learning new things. Now Jalaizha is ready to leave me and start school because she is seeing how much fun J is having.

She continuously begs me everyday to go, but someone got to wait 2 more yrs before she leaves me. She just use to being everywhere with J and now she's the only kid with mama, while the kids are at school. So its just a little different for her. Well not for long..... drum roll please you are going to be a Papa again. I'm pretty sure you knew about this too. I wanted to call you so bad,

when I found out, but I'm sure nothing's a secret to you now. You have 1st dibs on every information going around in this family. Now, just cross fingers for a Boy. Mines are wrapped tightly, nonetheless a healthy baby is the only thing that really matters. I Love and Miss you soooooooooo much daddy, and me and the girls think and talk about you everyday. Especially J, she reminds kids at
September 25, 2013
September 25, 2013
school when they mess with her, she has a big papa that likes to give little kids spankings that mess with his baby. That girl is really something else, as you already know. She knows she can still call on you as you would always be there for us no matter what form. Some say this baby will be more like you than me or Kenyotta. I really hope so because you are, One Helluva Man.

We all can use some of those qualities, you possess. Oh yeah, almost forgot we joined a church as a family. Not just any church, Sold out for Christ Ministry. Archie's church and may I say every Sunday we are promised a good word and that's a Guarantee. I am so proud we are receiving the word of God as a family. It joins us closer than we already are. Every Sunday is a new family tradition
September 25, 2013
September 25, 2013
There's nothing better than family as you have taught us. Nothing will break that bond. As Archie say, "Devil you can't have my word!" The Devil may hit us with biggest storms by taking the ones we love but we will not let him have our Happiness. You will Live on Always and Forever!! Crenshaw's we all we got!!!!!! Loving you and your legacy more and more until my dying days!!! @};----

Oh, how I long for your words of encouragement letting me know its gone be ok. Like they say , "The Good Die Young." And you were the Best of the Best. Rest in Paradise Pa.

Hey Daddy, nothing seems the same with you gone. We all miss you so very much. Wish I can just turn back the hands of time, just to hear your voice, your laugh, see your smile, one more hug, or just to see you. I'm not greedy I just want the simple things, because those are the things that matter most to me. My love runs deep for you my #1 man until my dying days. Love you so much daddy!!!

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!!!!

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.

October 9, 2013

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.
