Thomas Henry Crabb

(December 24, 1941 – August 10, 2024)

Thomas Henry Crabb made his final journey into the Kingdom of Heaven on August 10, 2024, passing peacefully at 12:37 PM in Glen Rose, Texas. He was surrounded by two of his stepdaughters, Machelle Fuller and Melissa Willis, his sister Clara Weaver Earp, and his great-niece Brailey Swanson.

Thomas was born on December 24, 1941, in Tahoka, Texas, to Walter Henry Crabb and Grace Elizabeth Crabb. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Marsha Gayle Crabb, with whom he shared 27 wonderful years of marriage. Though she passed just six months and 23 days before him, Thomas managed to hold on until they could be reunited in the presence of the Lord.

He was also preceded in death by his parents, Walter and Grace Crabb, and siblings: Juanita Wilson, Louise Perry, Elizabeth Shed, Arthur Crabb, Virginia Cox, and Patricia Hibbert. He is survived by his stepdaughters, Machelle Fuller of Hico, Texas, Melissa Willis of Glen Rose, Texas, and M’Layne Willis of Ironton, Missouri, his sister Clara Weaver Earp of Abilene, Texas, and his brother Clarence Crabb of Ballinger, Texas, 10 grandchildren and 23 great grandchildren and another on the way.

Thomas had a remarkable ability to win people over with his witty charm. He was a regular at his local coffee shop, where his frequent visits and playful banter were well-known. His humor was so sharp that it often left people unsure whether he was pulling their leg or not.

For many years, Thomas and Marsha were inseparable; where one went, the other followed. Now, they are together once more, united for eternity.
