He was born on July 13, 1953, in Comanche, Texas, to William Arthur and Ruby Lee (Duram) Crews. Carl Wayne loved his family and was a hoot to be around. He was a man with many interests – he loved camping, fishing, any kind of traveling, playing his harmonica, old country music, playing cards and dominos, watching wrestling on TV, skating, mowing and especially riding his lawnmower around town. He loved all animals. Carl Wayne was an active member of East Side Baptist Church and was always involved in church activities, including a trip to Nashville, Tennessee and mission trips to Colorado and Haiti. In 2011 the Church held a Carl Wayne Crews Appreciation Day and presented him with a Bible, a Certificate of Appreciation and a jacket.
