It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Michael Stead Crawford on June 8th, 2024, at age 46, after a brief but courageous fight with cancer. He was predeceased by father-in-law Rhodie Mercer; and uncles Gerard Murphy and Donald Murphy.
Leaving to mourn are his wife, Adrienne Mercer and daughter, his princess, Claire Crawford; parents Stead and Elizabeth; mother-in-law Wendy Mercer; sister Andrea (Lee Boswell); brother-in-law Aaron Mercer (Vanessa); nieces Ellie Mercer and Haylee Boswell; aunts Marie Armstrong (Frank), Carmelita Porter (Stuart), Clare Murphy, and Tina Murphy; uncles Ted Murphy (Doris) and Harry Crawford (Lillian); and a large circle of cousins, family, colleagues and friends.
Always in search of knowledge and information, Michael completed a B. Sc at Memorial University in 1999, an M. Ed at the University of New Brunswick in 2006, and an MBA at the Royal Military College of Canada in 2018. He worked in information technology and project management with several organizations during his career, and particularly enjoyed business travel, if only for the airline status. Michael never shied away from helping out, and often volunteered his time to assist any community organization in which he was involved – there are too many to list.
His sense of dedication and loyalty was fostered through his involvement with Air Cadets and the Cadet movement. Major Crawford was initially involved as an air cadet with 880 and rose through ranks holding various positions, including Commanding Officer of 510 Lions RCACS. He continued his involvement most recently with the Newfoundland and Labrador Area Office. He was appointed as an Aide-de-Camp serving the past three Lieutenant Governors of Newfoundland and Labrador, a role in which he took great pride and enjoyment.
Special thanks are extended to Dr. Dawn Armstrong and the nurses and staff of 4NorthB at the Health Sciences Centre for their compassion and care.
Visitation will take place at Carnell’s Funeral Home, 329 Freshwater Road on Tuesday, June 11th from noon to 9pm. Funeral Service will be held at the Basilica of St. John the Baptist, Military Road, on Wednesday June 12th at 11am. Cremation has taken place and inurnment to follow at Forest Road Anglican Cemetery following the service.

The family would like to invite people to a reception following the service/inurnment at Bally Haly Country Club, Golf Course Road.
