Mark James Crawford, 63, of Fife Lake went Home to his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on December 28, 2021 after a short illness.

Mark was born on September 6, 1958 to Albert and Carol Crawford.

Mark graduated in June of 1977 from Benzie Central High School through which he had the opportunity to train in the machine shop at TBA Career Tech Center in Traverse City.  Mark got a job in a machine shop in Traverse City right out of high school and worked in a couple of different machine shops over his 44 year career.

Mark loved his family and spent as much time with them as he could.   He shared his mechanical and hunting skills – encouraging his children and grandchildren not to be afraid to take an engine apart or take up a new way of hunting.   He loved hunting, or just watching the critters he was fortunate enough to catch on one of his trail cams.

Mark is survived by his two children whom he loved very much: Brian (Jess) Crawford and Jessica (Mike) Twiss; and five equally beloved grandchildren, Marcus, Gianna, Kayla, Hayden, and Memphis.  Also surviving are his siblings: Alan Crawford, Lodena (Ed) Benak, Ken (Terry) Crawford, and Lori (George) Thomason, and many beloved nieces and nephews.

Mark is preceded in death by his father, Albert.

Memorial services will be conducted at 12:00 PM, Friday, December 31, 2021, at Eden Bible Church in Beulah.

Beacon Cremation & Funeral Service, Covell-Kingsley Chapel, is in charge of arrangements.
