Vincent Lee Crandall's Obituary
Vincent Lee Crandall, age 35, passed away unexpectedly after a motorcycle accident on May 14, 2024. He was born September 19, 1988, to Matthew and Anjela (Crites) Crandall in Muskegon, MI. He graduated from Oakridge High School in 2007 and worked as a machine operator for ProFab in Muskegon, MI. On September 8, 2023, he married the love of his life, Laura (Hunni), in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee and they welcomed their first child, Caribou, on May 12, 2024. Vincent and Laura had a one-of-a-kind love. They were crazy, adventurous, outgoing, comical, and carefree; the perfect combination that let their love grow wild. He always stood behind every idea Laura wanted to do, including getting chicks, planning a homestead, and doing a homebirth for Caribou. They enjoyed going to new restaurants and trying new foods together. Vincent and Laura loved riding the Harley together, traveling all over to play music bingo. Vincent was a family man and was so excited to meet Caribou. He loved feeling her kicks, especially when riding.
Vincent was a Harley enthusiast and loved riding his Harley Davidson Road Glide. He was also a proud member of the Avengers Motorcycle Club and enjoyed riding with Man, Little Man, Gunny, and his fellow brothers. He enjoyed working on vehicles, cooking out and hanging out with his childhood best friend, Lee Dulinsky. He also valued his relationship with close friend, Allen Guy. Vincent loved spending time with his son, King. They enjoyed golfing, bowling, playing with RC cars, Legos, painting, monster trucks, making snowmen and having snowball fights and nothing beat making Wesco snack trips. Recently, they had the opportunity to see Disney on Ice and Monster Jam. Vincent loved his ramen noodles, Mt. Dew and was an avid Michigan State Fan.
