- Reverend Paul “Henry” Norman Crowe went to be with the Lord on Thursday, March 24th, 2022, at the age of 83 years. He fought a good fight, he finished the race, he kept the faith.
The Lord truly blessed us with Paul. Born in Johnson City, TN, Paul spent his time on earth being the very best son, brother, husband, father, uncle, grandfather, great-grandfather, friend, mentor, & brother in Christ. Throughout his life, Paul enjoyed spending time with friends & family (especially “his sweetheart, Helen” & his little dog Banjo), fishing, hunting, collecting old coins, and trading cars. He dedicated his life to bringing hearts to the Lord, pastoring over his flock at Piney Grove FWB for 53 years. Our hearts ache with his passing, but we celebrate knowing that he is now shouting the victory with Jesus, family, and friends “where the roses never fade.”
Paul was preceded in death by his father, Rev. Dennis R. Crowe, mother, Ruby Crowe, brothers, Kenneth “Bud” Crowe & Dennis “Doodle” Crowe, step brother, Ron Crowe, & mother-in-law, Ruth Arnett.
Left to cherish his memory, Paul is survived by his wife of 65 years, Helen Crowe; son, Robert “Robby” Paul Crowe (Robin); daughters, Dinah “Diane” “Dandy” Crowe Garland Lyle (Steve) & Sonya Hesenius (Justin); grandchildren, Megan Cornett (Bryan), Jessie Musselman (Kody), David Paul Garland (Jessica) & Gunnar Paul Crowe (Josie); great grandchildren, London Cornett & Leon Paul Musselman; sister, Jean Driskell (Jimmy); brother, Jerry Crowe; step-brother, JR. Cardwell; several cherished nieces, nephews, & cousins.
Special thanks to Dr. Michael Grosserode, Megan Long, Ashley Rossom, Michelle Taylor, Steven Spell, Peggy Buck, and Michelle McGlamary for their loving care of Paul and his family.
