David Wayne Crispen's Obituary
David Wayne Crispen, age 70, of Blanchard, Michigan, passed away peacefully on July 10, 2026, with his dear friend, Sam, by his side.
David was born on December 17, 1955, to Donald and Daisy Crispen. He lived life on his own terms and found joy in the things he loved most. Whether he was out fishing, spending time on the water boating, riding his quads, or working on them in the garage, David was happiest when he was outdoors or tinkering with something he enjoyed.
A true fan of classic rock, David could never get enough of his favorite music. Pink Floyd’s Another Brick in the Wall and Heart’s Barracuda were among his favorite songs and could often be heard playing wherever he was. He was also a devoted WWF wrestling fan and rarely missed the opportunity to watch his favorite matches.
More than anything, David will be remembered as a loyal friend whose presence brought comfort and laughter to those who knew him. He leaves behind memories that will forever be cherished by those fortunate enough to have shared in his life.
David is survived by his special friend, Samantha Rafferty, and her children, Ashley, Caleb, Hannah, Emily, and Dylan, all of whom held a special place in his heart.
In keeping with David’s wishes, no services are planned at this time
Cremation arrangements have been entrusted to Janowicz Family Funeral Home.
