James Allen Crawley, age 64, passed away at his home on Thursday, September 22, 2022 in Georgetown, IL. James will be remembered as a loving husband, son, father, grandfather, brother and friend.
James is survived by his wife, Rhonda, of 43 years, two children: Shawn (Hayley) Crawley & Jeremy (Lindsey) Crawley, five grandchildren: Mikaela, Wrangler, Korbyn, Caroline & Lillyan and two brothers: Brad Crawley & Chris (Brandi) Crawley and several nieces and nephews.
James was preceded in death by his parents, Charles (Mick) and Nancy (Weidenburner) Crawley, infant sister Amy, brother Willy and his best dog friend, Captain.
Born May 10, 1958 , James was raised in Danville, IL and was a 1976 graduate of DHS. He married Rhonda Morrison on March 2, 1979 and raised his family in Georgetown, IL. James was an employee of PepsiCo for over 30 years until retirement. His hobbies were boating, vacationing with friends to various destinations and watching Westerns on television. James volunteered as a baseball coach for his own two sons and was proud to attend his grandchildren’s events as often as he could. He was an avid Cubs, Bears and Illini fan. After retirement, James not only loaned himself but his tools to his sons and their home improvement projects. He could often be seen rearranging his garage time and again, having one of everything that only he could find.
He was an active member of the Sons of American Legion Post 203 at the time of his death. Instead of flowers, the family requests that donations be directed to Georgetown American Legion’s Post 203 Mission K9 Warrior Program or the Sons of the American Legion organization.
Those who wish to gather in memory of James are welcome to raise a glass with friends at the Georgetown American Legion on Saturday, October 1, 2022. The Celebration of Life will begin at 2pm CST.
