David A. Crothers

So terribly sorry for your losses. The Keehn family will be praying for all of you. I am sure God is with you all.

I could never have asked for a better brother in law. Dave is one of the most hardworking men that I have ever met. He did absolutely everything in his power to provide the best possible life for his wife & his children. He made my sister the happiest woman on earth and was an amazing father to my nieces & nephews. We lost an amazing individual on May 29th. The only comfort is that he is joining his sister & will be watching over his parents, wife, children, family d friends. You will be forever missed, Dave. I love you always.

Shannon, how do I say how sorry I am. You know that Dave loved you and his family with all he had. You were his life. You gave him life. Hold on to that love and remember the happy times. Love to you all

Dad im am going to miss you so much i love you and im gonna miss all the fun times we had together rest easy big guy il never forget you

Dave. We were not close. But I went to your house a few times and you were so funny. I remember doing karaoke. And laughing. You were so fun to be around. Watch over your family. I know it's a rough time. My prayers are with Shannon and your kids. Rest in paradise.

There are no words that could make this any easier or make any understanding of why,but our Lord does have a plan for all of us. Shannon I cannot imagine losing your soulmate but you are a strong woman and I am truly sorry for your loss. C-ya on tuesday.

To my friend Shannon: I don't want to say anything stupid, because although I've lost loved ones very close to me, I know there isn't much that can be said to make you feel better. I do know one thing... It's a process, you do what's best for you and the children. Try to remember that there are people who love you that are willing to help. Know that you are loved and God has not forgotten you. It's okay to be angry, hurt, questioning the purpose of all this... The only thing I ask is that you don't give up or give in. You can do this. Sending love and hugs to you and the children. My heart aches for you...

To the family: I can't imagine how hard it's been this past month and the pain that you all must feel. I just pray that God surrounds you, gives you strength and peace. That you are able to remember all of Dave's greatest qualities, the laughter he brought to your lives, his love and dedication to his lovely wife and children, his work ethic, his strength and his infectious smile.

Dave, you will be MORE than missed. Gone physically, but never in spirit and never forgotten.

Submitted with love,

Qiana Treadwell & Jadyn Brown (my daughter that attended Graystone with the children)

To the Crothers family, I am so sorry for your loss. I still cannot believe things happened like this. Dave was an amazing guy. He was very fun to be around, and he could always make you laugh. He was such a family man, and would do anything for them. It's ashame that he had to go so soon. He made such a huge impact in peoples lives, and we will never forget it. I will forever cherish all the good times I barbecued with him and his family. May you all find comfort and peace at your own rate!! Shannon, if you need anything please let me know. David, Ethan, Alyssa and Brooke.. May you all stay strong and be there for your mother. I love you all!!

Sorry for your loss. We are thinking about the whole family. We knew Dave and his family thru Donnie. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

I didn't know Dave well but my husband Kyle ream knew him, in fact they were cousins. when I think about you and your family new years eve the past 3 years is what always come to mind. You and your wife being so friendly and always trying to make me feel comfortable. You were such an awesome, humorous, loving person. You were taken away from everyone way to soon. please watch over your wife, children, parents, and family and fly high. keep them safe and let them know your there when they go through tough times. You and your sister Jessica are probably partying hard in heaven together and I'm sure having a blast doing the things y'all did together here on earth in heaven. Rip big guy. Xoxo

My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time. Although I did not know Dave personally, I do know many of the Crothers family. I cannot imagine the pain this family has had in the last month. May God wrap his arms around you and give you peace. RIP Dave and fly high with the Angels and your sister Jessica.

Shannon, Honey I know that I text you or message you on FB just about everyday. This is very hard for all of us to grasp. Like I said before this is very heart wrenching and sad. I have known Dave for years and there isn't anything that he wouldn't do to help someone out. He had a heart of gold and was a wonderful guy. With saying this, I hope that you and the kids can find comfort knowing that Dave is at peace and is no longer in pain!!! Love you guys very much!!!!!!!!!

Although I knew Dave and Shannon by going to school with both of them I am truly sorry for the loss. Shannon you and the family are well loved and You both were perfect for each other! If you ever need to vent you know where to find me hun! again I am truly sorry for the loss to the whole family. you shouldnt have to be doing this. First Jess and now him. Why does the good have to die young? Will never get it!

Sannnon and family:
We are very saddened by the loss of such a nice man who did so much for his community. He will be sorely missed.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and know that Dave will watch over them from heaven.

Dave was such a nice guy. He will be missed. I still cannot comprehend that I will never see him again getting his smokes or coffee at Turkey Hill but I know that we will meet again someday. Shannon, Alyssa, Brooke, Ethan and David you are all in my prayers! I love you all!!!

I want to start off with Shannon: 15 years with your 'Soul-Mate' just to have them taken away WAY to soon like Dave has been taken from you, I couldn't even imagine. But, I know how it is to be robbed of that bond of loving someone so close to you especially when it came to me losing my sister, my best friend. If you ever need anything, even just a shoulder to just cry on, I'll ALWAYS be here for you b/c you and Dave opened up your home to me at one point in time and made me feel sooooo welcome... It was truly appreciated!!!! Keep your head held high, b/c you KNOW &&I KNOW Dave would have want that &&want you to stay strong for your children..
Now for David JR., Ethan, Alyssa, &&Brooke: You might not remember me to well but, I've been there and watched how your daddy looked at you guys and had a look in his eyes of how much he loved each and everyone of you, unconditionally.. You will always have a part of him in your hearts <3 and carry that around with you everyday!! So, when you get sad or miss him, Please think of that and remember the good times, the fun times!! Your daddy would have wanted that for you guys as well!!!
I'm thinking of each and everyone one of you guys and praying for you everyday.. XoXo ~Erin <3

We have the entire family in our prayers!

Rest in peace Dave It's very difficult to have someone that means so much to you pass try to remember all the great times you had together with him and know you will be together again bless Donnie Linda Shannon & Kids and all his family and friends.

My heart goes out to Shannon,the kids and to the parents. I can't imagine how difficult it is to go through the pain that you are going through. I will continue to pray for each of you and hope that god gives you the strength to get through this. Just rememeber that Dave and Jess are looking over all of you. May god bless you. I know your pain after losing my mom and two uncles in a matter of three months. The pain never goes away just gets a little better over time. I hope I didn't say anything wrong cause you really never know what to say at a time like this.

Rest in peace, Dave. You were a good man, a wonderful husband, an amazing father, and a great friend. I'm sorry I didn't know you better...but we sure did have some fun times together.
Shannon, David, Ethan, Alyssa, Brooke, Dave's parents, Shannon's parents, Eryn, and all of Dave's family & friends: My heart goes out to you and I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Just know you will forever have an angel on your shoulder. <3

My heart my prayers go out to the Crothers family. God only knows that family really needs it. David was a funny guy. Matter of fact me and my brothers grew up with Dave and jesse in Modena. We had some good times. God has plans for him and Jesse. Dave say hi to my Pop while ur up their enjoying good life. God bless

We are so sorry for your loss. Please let us know if you need anything and we will be there. You are in our hearts and in our prayers. It is at times like these that I cannot comprehend the reason behind taking a loving husband and father away so young. I can only imagine it was because he was such a great person- God needed an Angel.
