Master JaRon Karlos Crawford “Bugg”

JaRon Karlos Crawford “Bugg” was the son of Mercedes Beck and LaRon Crawford of St. Louis, MO. Now I’m going to take you thru the lifetime journey of JaRon Crawford.

JaRon arrived in this world on July 21, 2011 at 8:13 a.m., weighing 5lbs 14 oz, but that isn’t the only thing that was great and amazing on July 21, 2011 – JaRon also had a twin sister to accompany his arrival into the world. That was such a beautiful, joyous, glorious day when they both arrived in this world. JaRon was only 4 years old, but he had put such a great, deep impact in our hearts, minds and lives. He was so full of energy, joy and fun. When JaRon got caught doing something he wasn’t supposed to be doing, he would hurry up and run under tables, beds or another room. That would always bring a smile to our faces. One thing for sure with JaRon having a twin sister – Justice, they worked right together and always looked out for each other. That really and truly always brought happiness to us. JaRon “Bugg” is truly going to be missed and loved and his loss will weigh heavy on our hearts and minds for a lifetime. January 11, 2016 was supposed to be JaRon’s first day of preschool, but God had another plan and route for JaRon to take. God chose JaRon to be one of his angels that day. Now JaRon “Bugg” Karlos Crawford has his wings and he’s watching over us from Heaven.

He leaves his love and memories to his mother Mercedes Beck and his father LaRon Crawford, his twin sister, Justice Crawford, his grandmother, Renita Beck, two uncles- Joshua Dawson and McArthur Hull, and one aunt, Shanita Crawford, all of whom reside in St. Louis, Missouri as well as a host of uncles and aunts, greats-aunts and great-uncles, cousins and friends. JaRon is preceded in death by one grandmother, Carol W. Crawford, one grandfather, Lewis Crawford, two great-grandmothers, Margunte Sheets-Anderson, Barbara Wagner, two great-grandfathers, Gene Tosten and Samuel Beck, one great-great-grandmother and grandfather, George and Mary Sheets, one aunt, Tayia Beck and one uncle, Karlos Reid.

The family of JaRon “Bugg” Karlos Crawford appreciates your expressions of love, your prayers, calls of strength, support and words of encouragement. We thank you for your presence today and for your thoughts for us at our time of bereavement.

-The Family

A Child Never Forgotten

Our hearts were broken without a warning.

No words spoken when you were taken away,

Someone said you could not stay.

Empty and lonely is what we are.

We lost a precious shining star,

Our family torn apart.

Your world began with a promising start.

Life is unfair in this difficult time.

We must find and bear strength and courage.

We will find our special child always in our hearts and minds.

A place in heaven is where you sit looking.

The star you lit in our hearts, minds

And thoughts forever you will be,

Never knowing why someone set you free.

JaRon “Bugg” you will be dearly and highly missed and loved by me always and forever,

Love you “Bugg”,

-Your great-aunt Rita Malone

The Cord

We are connected, my child and I, by an invisible cord not seen by the eye.

It’s not the cord that connects us til birth, this cord can’t be seen by anyone of Earth.

This cord does its work, right from the start.

It binds us together, attached to my heart.

I know that it’s there though no one can see,

The invisible cord from my child to me.

The strength of this cord is hard to describe

It can’t be destroyed, it can’t be denied.

It’s stronger than any cord man could create-

It withstands the test and can hold any weight.

Though you are gone, though you are not here with me,

The cord is still there but no one can see

It pulls at my heart, I am bruised, I am sore

But this cord is my life line as never before

I am thankful that God connects us this way

A mother and child, something death can’t take away.

JaRon, you will forever always be in my heart, mind and soul, until the end of time

Love you always and forever,

-Mom
