>> Larry "Joe" J. Crandall <<
>> April 23, 1939 - November 11, 2025 <<

With profound love and heavy hearts, the family of Larry "Joe" J.
Crandall announces his passing on November 11, 2025, at the age of 86 in
Lake Havasu City, Arizona. Born on April 23, 1939, in Southgate,
California, Joe lived a long, full, and joyful life devoted to family,
adventure, and the simple wonders of the world around him.

Joe was married for 65 beautiful years to the love of his life, Marlene
Crandall, who preceded him in death. He was also preceded by his
parents, Kenneth and Vinora Crandall, and his siblings Robert Crandall,
Carl Crandall, and Mary Laney.

He is survived by his daughter, Joyce Crandall, and his brother, Dan
Crandall, his grandchildren: Rhiannon Fernandez, Keioni Melton, and Sara
Ramirez and his great-grandchildren: Steven, Tyler, Selena, and
Christian Fernandez; Alessa Melton; Hailey Knighton; Emily Melton; and
Leo Ramirez.

He loved camping, traveling, boating, and restoring & admiring old cars.
One of his greatest passions was stargazing, often spending evenings
with his telescope scanning the night sky. He loved teaching his
grandchildren about the stars, planets, and constellations, sharing with
them a sense of wonder that will live on in their hearts. Joe cherished
his family. His grandchildren and great-grandchildren brought him
immense joy, and he loved each of them deeply and unconditionally.

Larry "Joe" Crandall will be remembered for his no b.s. spirit, his
curiosity about the world, and his devotion to family. His presence will
be greatly missed, but his love and the memories he created will
continue to shine-much like the stars he loved to explore.

May he rest in peace, reunited with Marlene, and forever watching over
the family he treasured so dearly.
