Michael "Mike" Crawford, 67, of Bradenton, Florida, and formerly of Cumberland, Rhode Island, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, November 26, 2025, at Blake Memorial Hospital in Bradenton. He was the beloved husband of Sharon Sullivan.

Born in Pawtucket, he was the son of Irene (Hogan) Crawford Scoullar and the late Kenneth Crawford. Mike was a graduate of Cumberland High School and spent his career working in the trucking industry. He had resided in Florida in recent years while always maintaining strong ties to his Rhode Island roots.

Mike was loved by countless people throughout his life. His outgoing, energetic personality made him a natural "local" wherever he went, forming instant connections and leaving memorable impressions. His warmth, humor, and genuine care for others made him someone people gravitated toward. He will be deeply missed and forever held in the hearts of all who knew him.

He leaves three loving daughters: Shannon Thistle of Greenbrier, TN; Lauren Anderson of Greenville, RI; and Erin Coughlin of Greenbrier, TN. He also leaves his sons-in-law, whom he welcomed and loved as his own: Kevin Thistle, Eric Anderson, and Matthew Coughlin.

Mike was the proud grandfather of Jameson, Addison, and Emerson Thistle; Charlotte, Michael, and Benjamin Anderson, with two more Anderson grandchildren expected in the coming weeks; and Liam and Murphy Coughlin. His grandchildren were the light of his life, and he cherished every moment spent with them.

He is survived by his siblings Mark Crawford of Cumberland; Sheila Burns of Cumberland; Philip Crawford of Henderson, NV; and Peter Crawford of North Kingstown. He was predeceased by his siblings Kenneth J. Crawford, Janice Miller, and Danny Crawford.
