Wilfred Lucius "Butch" Crooks
August 1956 – March 26, 2025
With profound sadness, we say goodbye to Wilfred Lucius Crooks, affectionately known as “Butch,” who passed away suddenly on March 26, 2025, at the age of 68. Born in Montreal, Quebec, Butch's vibrant energy and warm heart left a lasting impact on all who knew him.
He was predeceased by his grandparents Wilfred Adolphus Crooks and Mertie Jessica Crooks (Smith), his beloved Grandma Johnny Bee Hall, and his parents Loucious Burks and June Winifred Crooks.
Butch is survived by his ex-wife, Brenda Moses; his sons, Cori Marshall, Tevan Crooks (Cy), and Keenyn-Chae Crooks (Emily); and grandchildren Owynn and Catherine Marshall. He also leaves behind his siblings, Merle Roberts, Anthony Burks (Miriam), Mertie Jones (Chris), and Linda Roberts (Michel); and his loving girlfriend, Mauricia Ambrose.
As we bid farewell, let us not mourn Butch’s absence, but celebrate the radiant essence of his spirit—forever dancing among the stars, intertwined with the fabric of heaven. His laughter, compassion, and boundless presence will be remembered always.
