Shawn Crose

Shawn Crose, 56, of Springfield, Ohio, passed away on September 3, 2025, in the comfort of his home with his wife by his side. Born on November 10, 1968, in Morehead, Kentucky, Shawn lived a life marked by generosity, kindness, and a deep love for his family.

Shawn dedicated much of his professional life to his role as an Inspector at A1 Sprinkler & Systems Integration, A Pye-Barker Fire & Safety Company. His commitment to excellence and mentorship left a lasting impression on many colleagues who became friends over the years. Known for his hard work and reliability, Shawn took pride in training others and helping them succeed.

Outside of work, Shawn found joy in the outdoors and was always eager to embrace adventure. He enjoyed disc golf, fishing, camping, golfing, biking, swimming, and playing games. Whether it was casting a line or hitting the trails on a bike ride, he relished every opportunity to be active—especially when it meant spending time with his son. His enthusiasm for life extended to supporting his daughter’s musical accomplishments with pride and excitement. A devoted fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Shawn never missed a chance to cheer on his team.

Later in life, Shawn began studying the Bible and became one of Jehovah's Witnesses. In this spiritual journey, he found not only faith but also a loving brotherhood that brought him immense joy and hope for the future. He cherished the congregation deeply and considered its members an extension of his family.

Shawn will be lovingly remembered by his wife Christina (Tucker) Crose; daughter Leah Crose; son Tucker Crose; sister Traci (Dave) Faulkner; brother Kevin Crose; mother-in-law Laura Tucker; brother-in-law David (Racheal) Tucker; sisters-in-law Patricia Curtis and Joanna Perkins; and many special nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his father Calbert Crose and his mother Janet (Ullom) Wray.

Shawn’s warmth, generosity, and ability to make others feel welcome left an indelible mark on those who knew him. May his memory bring comfort to all whose lives he touched. A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, October 4, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses located at 1601 Innisfallen Avenue, Springfield, Ohio, 45506.
