Beloved father, brother, cousin, and friend passed away from this life on September 7, 2023 at age 47 after a life long battle with depression.  He is survived by his daughter, Patience Crow; brother, Jack Wright; girlfriend, April Springer; her daughter, Faith Springer, and many more family and friends.

Mark loved his daughter, Patience, more than anything in this world.  I know all he ever wanted to be was a good father.

Mark was always known for his quick wit and love of word play. He also loved to watch videos on cooking and would spend all of his food stamps at the store on one meal. He spent countless hours with Patience and Faith watching scary movies. He loved our dog, Baby, and would take her to work with him every day. He was so proud of her, he truly had incredible connection with animals. Mark had his last vacation in July when we went to the lake and camped out for five days. He was so happy and at peace I am so glad we had that time to spend together. He was strong willed and stubborn at times, but he also had an enormous heart and wonderful sense of humor. He was generous, loyal, and brave. He was clever and full to the brim with knowledge gained through all of his life experiences: electrician, plumber and contractor- he could fix or build anything. I don't know if Mark ever made it to Russia but I know he spoke fluent Russian which was quiet amazing.

There are no words adequate enough to honor the beautiful soul that is Mark Allen Crow.  You were a bright light to me and you brought so much joy to so many people.  You were kind, compassionate, you regularly made me cry with laughter, and you showered me with a love like one I'll never forget. I'll spend a lifetime remembering you.

To honor Marks memory, we are holding a Celebration of Life on September 23, 2023 at Wintersmith Lodge (East Wing) 1621 Wintersmith Dr.  Ada, OK from 6 – 11 pm.  We invite anyone who knew and loved Mark to attend.
