Barry J. Crowley

Barry J. Crowley, 64, of Concord Twp., died September 26, 2023 after suffering a heart attack while socializing with friends. He was born August 16, 1959 in Roseville, Michigan. Barry worked as a police officer for the City of Painesville, Ohio. He studied at Lakeland Community College to start his over 40-year career as a police officer, beginning with the City of Mentor-on-the-Lake. He also served on the police forces in Willowick and North Perry, Ohio. As a long-time boat owner and an avid fisherman, Barry enjoyed being on Lake Erie or even just relaxing on the boat when docked on the Chagrin River. He was also instrumental in helping his sister establish Emerita Winery in Madison, Ohio, frequently being the go-to person to complete odd jobs that would arise unexpectedly and need attention. He enjoyed playing euchre with family and friends, mastering the six-handed version. His later years allowed him to spend more quality time socializing with friends and family. He always enjoyed sharing a good meal (especially a Ribeye steak dinner) to help make for a memorable event. Survivors include his daughter, Kristina (David Rancourt) Crowley; sisters, Kathleen (Ann Moore) Crowley, and Kristina (Harry Dennison) Crowley; and his brother, Vincent (Julie) Crowley, nieces, Kelly (Craig) Scott, Maisie Crowley, Delaney Crowley, and nephew, Jeff (Dawn) Stancavage. He was preceded in death by his parents, Vincent and Lola Crowley; and his sister, Joanne (Ziggy) Stancavage. The family will receive friends to celebrate Barry’s life from 3pm to 7pm Friday, October 6, 2023 at the Brunner Sanden Deitrick Funeral Home & Cremation Center, 8466 Mentor Ave., Mentor, OH 44060. The family will again celebrate Barry’s life on Saturday, October 7, 2023 from Noon to 4pm at AmVets Post 109, 7847 Lakeshore Blvd., Mentor-on-the-Lake, OH 44060. In lieu of flowers, the family requests contributions be made to the Lake Humane Society and Adoption Center. Barry had many pet dogs over the years and would be happy to know that other pets in need may receive better care because of him. Please offer condolences at www.brunners.com.
