Douglas Lowell Crowl
Nov 28, 1936 to March 4, 2024

Doug was born November 28, 1936 at home on Williams Creek near Ferndale. He attended a one-room school there and later graduated from Ferndale High School.

He worked most of his life as a carpenter. He built his home in Fortuna in the early 1960s and resided there for the rest of his life. He was a proud veteran of the US Army and a loyal 49er fan.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Edgar Crow Sr. and Mildred Crowl, and his brothers and sisters Thelma Dickson, Evelyn Lee, Edgar Crowl Jr., Earl Crowl, Daniel Crowl, Wendall Crowl, and Orin Crowl

He survived by his brothers and sisters, Margie Wilson, Clifford Crowl, Gary Crowl, Kathleen Crowl, and by very special longtime friend Glenda Ward. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews.

The family would also like to thank Kathy for helping to take care of him in his final years, a graveside service will be held March 14 at 1 p.m. at the old Pioneer Cemetery on Kenmar Road, Fortuna. A gathering to honor Doug’s life will be held at a later date.
