Paul Wilson Crawford

PAUL WILSON CRAWFORD Paul Wilson Crawford was born in Houston, Texas on August 28, 1964 to Harry and Norma Jean Crawford. He passed away on July 19, 2023 at his home in Magnolia, Texas surrounded by family after a courageous battle with cancer. Paul graduated from Hargrave High School and soon thereafter joined the Army where he was stationed in Germany. Paul was a hard worker just like his father. He took a lot of pride in whatever he did to make a living. At the time of his death, Paul owned All American Lawn Service where he served each client with pride. Paul was a character from an early age. He refused to accept the standards and insisted on proudly proceeding through life "his" way. He was thoughtfully creative and enjoyed helping family, friends and strangers with anything he could. Paul enjoyed fishing, camping, canoeing, get-togethers, music, hot rods and he loved animals. He was always looking for an adventure and when he couldn't find one, he would describe whatever he was doing as a great one. He entertained us often and we all looked forward to hearing his stories. Family and friends were very important to him. Those who knew him knew his heart was huge and made of gold. He was a man of his word and was fearless when it came to protecting what he loved. He liked being called "Brotha Paul". Paul was preceded in death by his father Harry Crawford, brother Mark Crawford, Aunt LaNielle Johns, Uncle David Johns, Uncle Larry Loring, cousin Wendell Johns, father-in-law Billy Hyman, brother-in-law Alan Hyman, niece Jennifer Kelley and his beloved pet dog Rocky. He is survived by his loving wife of 18 years Kimberly Ann Crawford, mother Norma Jean Craig, sister Teresa Ann Parker and husband David, brother Matthew Curt Crawford, mother-in-law Shirley Hyman, sister-in-law Debbie Nordstrom and husband Rick, sister-in-law Cathy Phillips and husband Mark, nephews Jonathan Horton and Justin Phillips, nieces Angela Tillman and Amanda Cook, and many more extended family members and beloved friends. The condolences of the Addison family and staff are with his family and friends.
