Michael Crew

Michael Crew, of Baton Rouge and Hammond, passed away Friday, January 23, in the loving arms of his mother, Adele Noonan, who devoted her life to the care of our special angel. Born August, 6, 1961 to the late Carroll Gordon Crew and Adele Crew Noonan, Michael is also survived by his second Dad and his best buddy, Bill Noonan.

Michael had Down Syndrome but that did not stop him from embracing life and living it to the fullest. He was passionate about his family and friends, always ready to greet them with his special hug and letting them know how much he missed them. He loved music and singing along with his favorite musician, Mickey Gilley, he knew every word to the movie, The Wizard of Oz, and was always ready to hit the road in the motorhome with his Momma and his Buddy. Michael will be missed dearly by all that knew him and celebrated with him on his birthdays and holidays.
