Gregory Lynn Crooks

     Gregory Lynn Crooks, son of Stuart and Muriel (Smith) Crooks, of Ithaca, Michigan passed away in his home on November 19, 2025, after a long battle with cancer.
     A cremation has taken place and a memorial service will be held at a later date.
     Greg lived life his way. He loved welding; in fact he was a master welder and a certified inspector for the pipeline. He was continually creating amazing pieces for the yard, like his 5 foot dragon fly guarding his garden.
     He was a master gardener and always had a beautiful garden. He would delight his mom with the fruits and vegetables. He was so attentive to his mom and always could put a smile on her face!
     In 2020, during covid, he started having his friends come to his "man cave bar". They would share life, stories and drinks. It was almost a daily afternoon routine.
     Greg leaves a big hole. He was loved and admired by so many, but none as much as his sister and brother. We will miss our "Greggo". He loved unconditionally and was loved unconditionally back.
     Greg leaves behind his sister Barbara (Crooks) VanAtten of Ithaca, MI; and brothers: Mark (Linda) Crooks of Warsaw, IN; and Steve Crooks of Florida. He was preceded in death by his parents and sister Elladyne (Crooks) MacNabb.
