Clement Norvan Crawford, a beloved son, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend, was born on July 21, 1954, in Tyler, Texas, to Willie Crawford Jr. and Winnie Ruth Crawford (Dorsey). Clement was the fourth child in the family and was raised in Tyler, where he spent most of his life. He briefly lived in California before returning home to Tyler, the place he always considered home.

Clement attended John Tyler High School and, after graduation, proudly served in the United States Marine Corps. Following his military service, he built a hardworking life as a heavy-duty equipment operator and farmer. He took great pride in working with his hands and providing for those he loved.

As a child, Clement attended Hopewell Valley Baptist Church, where his faith and early church experiences became part of the foundation of his life.

Clement was a man who deeply loved and protected his family. He was known for being very protective of those he cared about and for standing by his loved ones whenever they needed him. He had a special love for farming, particularly growing fruits and vegetables. He also adored his beloved dog, Junior, who brought him great companionship and joy.
