Henry Crowson

Henry Murrel "Curley" Crowson, a longtime resident of Boyd, Texas, went home to be with the Lord on November 11, 2012, Veterans Day, at the age of 81. A memorial service will be held at Jones Family Funeral Home in Bridgeport on Monday, November 19 at 11:00 am. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to The Alzheimer's Association or the charity of your choice. Curley was born August 17, 1931 in Birthright, Texas, and was a veteran of the US Army and proudly served during the Korean war. Curley was a retired barber and carpenter. As a younger man, his passion was country music, playing on stage at a backyard BBQ or fish fry. He loved and lived life on his own terms, never met a stranger, and in spite of his handicaps, never lost his faith or spirit for life. Curley made lasting friendships during his years as a member of the Fort Worth Anglers Club. He passed on his love of the lake and fishing to his children and grandchildren. In later life, he and his wife, Noble, embraced the simple life of organic gardening, especially growing tomatoes and sharing the bounty with friends. And, you would not find a more avid baseball and Texas Ranger fan. Curley was preceded in death by his wife Noble, sister Ruby and brothers Alvis, Thurman, Clifford, Wilson, Sam, Alfred, Herschel, Richard and John. Curley is survived by his sons, Rodney Crowson, Marty Crowson, Casey Crowson; daughter Beki Huckabee, step daughters Linda Cole and Didra Lee; grandchildren Shelby Crowson, Adam Huckabee, Jason Huckabee and Micah Huckabee; great grandson Aiden Huckabee; brothers Billy Crowson and wife Nell, Joe Crowson and wife Jeanette; sister Edna and husband Charles Arnold, JoNell Willis; and many beloved nieces and nephews. He also left behind so many wonderful friends within his community. We, his family, appreciate all the love and support they gave him.
