David "Dave" "Davey" M. Crookston

David (Dave/Davey) MacIsaac Crookston, 51, beloved husband, father, brother, family, and

friend, unexpectedly passed away on Monday, April 17, 2023, in Massillon, Ohio. He was born

on January 13, 1972 to the late David John and Sally Ann (MacIsaac) Crookston in Canton,

Ohio. He was a 1990 graduate of Massillon Washington High School and earned his Bachelor's

degree in Exercise Medicine from Kent State University. On July 4, 2022, after 25 years as an

Exercise Physiologist, he started a new venture as the proud owner of Crookston Handyman

Services.

Dave is survived by his loving wife, Christa; his children Jordan (Sophia Sponseller), Camdyn

(Hayden Wheeler), Jaidan (Dyson Clapier), Braden, Adelyn, and Aidyn; father-in-law Richard

Thompson; mother-in-law Mary (Kelly) McMurty; sisters Holly (Kelly) Herron and Beth (Corey)

Williams and sister-in-law April (Vince) Rike; niece Kearsi (Anthony) Ruffin; nephews Curtis

Williams and Jordan Collins; and a dedicated extended family of cousins, aunts, uncles, and

friends.

A devoted family man, Dave used selfless love, genuine care, and goofy humor to deeply affect

and create lasting impressions and relationships with everyone who knew him. His dedication to

the church and ministry of love and spirit reverberated through every aspect of his life - from his

loving marriage and parenting to his unending willingness to help.

A celebration of Dave's life will be held at the Faith Family Church Freedom Campus, Chapel

Entrance B, on Wednesday, April 26, from 11am-12pm. The family will receive family and friends

there from 10-11am before the service.
