Cleophus was the cornerstone of his family and dedicated his entire life to taking great care of his family, he led with a gentle yet firm hand. Rarely did he raise his voice. But he always spoke the truth, and doing what was right as well as what was required was second nature to him. Loved to share stories of his childhood. He was known as the candy man of the family and had many treats and sweets to give out to anyone who’d asked. He spent many afternoons enjoying old movies like westerns in black & white & listening to his favorite genre of music jazz as well as playing with his grand & great grandchildren. He also had a love for classic cars, his favorite being the 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air. Our Loving Father, Grandfather and Uncle Cleophus “Foxx” Crawford was truly loved and will be greatly missed!
