Michael Dean Crawford, age 77, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loving family, on December 19th, 2022. Michael was born on January 2nd, 1945 in Columbus, GA to Irene and Marvin Crawford. He met his wife Dianne in high school-among the bouffants, shift dresses, poodle skirts, and pomade, their love story began. They married on September 14th, 1963 in Miami, OK and recently celebrated their 59th wedding anniversary. Together they had three children: David, Brian, and Drew. Mike graduated in 1969 from the University of Tulsa with a Bachelor's in business. In 1995, Michael and Dianne started Factory Tile Outlet in Tulsa, OK. For 27 years, Factory Tile served the Tulsa community until they sold it in 2022-leaving a massive rolodex of vendors, contractors, and customers who knew of Mike's professionalism, charm, and wit. When he wasn't a committed father and husband, Mike enjoyed Bud Light, fishing, boating, grilling, and singing semi-incorrect lyrics to songs of his choosing.

He is survived by his wife, Dianne Crawford, and his sons, Brian Crawford and wife Pamela, Drew Crawford and wife, Jen, grandchildren: Taylor Rainwater and Husband, Nick, Alex Crawford, Preston Crawford, Jacob Crawford, Sydney Crawford and great-grandchildren: Jase and Crew Rainwater. He was preceded in death by his son David, brother Ed, and his parents, Irene and Marvin.

He was a beloved husband, son, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend.

He will be profoundly missed.

A ceremony will be held 10:00 A.M., Wednesday, December 28th at Moore's Southlawn Chapel, 9350 E 51st, Tulsa, OK 74145.
