December 28, 1991 – July 20, 2021
Chad Crawford passed away in Lloydminster Alberta on Tuesday July 20, 2021 at the age of 29. Chad was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan on December 28, 1991. He attended school in Dalmeny other than his later high school years when he moved to Prince Albert to play AAA Midget hockey and then Lloydminster for his 1st year of junior hockey. After graduation he continued his junior hockey career in Lloydminster and Bonnyville Alberta. Chad attended Lakeland College in Lloydminster and obtained his Journeymen’s Certificate in Gas Fitting. He was presently employed by the County of Vermilion. Chad loved playing a variety of sports but hockey was his first love. He spent hours playing on the rink in the backyard and helped his Dad flood and scrape the outdoor rink all winter long in Dalmeny. He became a solid Colorado Avalanche fan at an early age and was sure they could go all the way this past season. Chad also was an assistant coach with an AAA Bantam Team in Lloydminster for three years. Chad was also an avid dog lover and was thrilled when his billet homes had pets. He was so pleased when he got his little pup Bauer and every yard he entered to check on a gas meter he made friends with their dogs. Chad was a genuine friend to so many and will be deeply missed.
Chad is survived by his parents, Glenn and Barb Crawford, his sister Allyce Brown (Lance) nephews, Tate, Amos and Nash Brown, partner Larissa Scott and grandmother Phyllis Crawford. He is also survived by many aunts, uncles and cousins. He was predeceased by his grandparents Bill and Marge Braun and Jim Crawford, uncle Dale Crawford, and cousin Chris Bourque.
Interment will take place at Woodlawn Cemetery on Tuesday, July 27, 2021 at 10:45am, all are welcome to meet at the front gates and drive in procession to the graveside. A Celebration of Chad’s Life will be held on Tuesday, July 27, 2021, 2:00 p.m. at Dalmeny Community Church, 121 4th St, Dalmeny, SK.
Arrangements entrusted to Dalmeny Funeral Home. 306-254-2022.

My heart breaks for all who loved Chad. He touched many with his giant smile and genuine care. I had the honour of being his hairdresser out of my home for 10 years.

I am so sorry to hear the news of Chad’s passing. My heart aches for you. I can’t imagine what you’re going through. I just wanted to let you know I am praying for the whole family during this difficult time. Sending much love.
There can be no anguish greater than a parent losing their child, and it is hard to grasp that Chad is gone. Knowing him since he was a toddler, we remember his big smile, with a hockey stick in his hand, and a kind heart that extended to everyone. Chad was a dear friend to our son from day care days to adulthood and his beautiful soul will be kept in our memories forever.
So sorry to hear of Chads passing. Our condolences to your family.
RIP Chad <3

Dear Glenn, Barb, Alysse and Family,
We were heart broken to hear of Chad’s passing. I fondly remember our boys growing up together, usually on the ice in one hockey rink or another. We pray God brings peace to your hearts in these difficult times.
With deepest sympathies,

Glenn, Barb and family – we are deeply saddened by the loss of Chad . We have fond memories of him – loving and gentle young man. We wish there were words to ease your suffering but we know there are not. Just know that you are all in our hearts as is Chad. The word has lost a beautiful soul. ♥️
Glenn, Barb, Allyce and Family; We are so very heart broken for you in your loss of a precious son Chad. Although we never got to know Chad as much as we would have liked to, we will remember your son with his wonderful smile as the young man that was so caring. Wished there was some way to take away your pain and suffering but sadly know there is not. We are holding you close in our prayers and thoughts. Our world may have lost a young man in Chad but Heaven has gained a wonderful young man for their hockey team.
Glenn, Barb, Allyce, Lance and Sons; I was so sorry to hear of Chad’s passing. Our children are so very special to us no matter how old they become. Those that we love are never really gone but away. Keeping you close in thoughts during these tough days and all that follow.
It is an extremely sad day when a young person passes away. I remember Chad as a bright student with a terrific personality and a warm, friendly smile. For all those who met him they were very fortunate. He will be missed by all. To the family May his memories live with you forever. Take care in this time of need.
Chayce, Greg and I were extremely saddened to hear of Chad’s passing. We share your grief. Please accept our deepest sympathies during this unthinkably difficult time. God bless you all 🙏🏻
We are so sorry to hear of Chad’s passing. We know you will carry him in your hearts and cherish the many memories of your time with him forever. Although we are far away, know that you are close to us in our thoughts and prayers. All our love, David, Joanne, Jordan, Riley, Jacob and Harper xoxo
Our condolences to you at this difficult time
Chad played for the Bobcats when I worked for the team. He was always super happy, had a genuine smile on his face and an infectious personality. He will be missed, he did a lot for our community.
Keep comfort in the memories, and I am very sorry for your loss.
I’m so sorry Glen, Barb and Alyssa. I will never forget Chady. I will always remember babysitting Chad and Alyssa. Chad’s adorable cheeks and the day Barb told me about Chad asking if he’d ever have cheeks like other people, him barking at our dog Gypsy whenever she barked (which we all know was annoying lol) or the countless hours I’d hear him out on the ice shooting the puck. He was such a wonderful boy and although I never knew him as an adult, I know he was also a wonderful man. I have always found such solace in this quote. I hope you do as well. “Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give but cannot. All of that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go”.
My deepest sympathies to your families. Praying for you at this difficult time.
Dear Barbie, Glenn, Allyce and Family

I didn’t get to meet your beautiful, big, handsome Boy but Uncle Bill and Aunt Marg spoke of him with warm hearts and pride. I share in your grief, as I too, had to grieve after loosing my 28 year son Sean suddenly.
Shock and disbelief are overwhelming. Take comfort in those the love and care about you.
