Anthony Tadd Crebs, age 41, ended his battle between life and death on May 9th, 2014. Although death appears to have the upper hand, our father, son, husband, grandfather, brother, and friend had too much meaning and love in his life to simply admit defeat. His impact and memory will live forever.
Tadd was an avid reader and writer, enjoyed intellectual conversations, heavy metal, and cats. He worked in the computer industry for 20 years. He loved visiting historic Savannah, Georgia as well as Tybee Island where he dreamed of spending his silver years alongside his companion of 13 years, Rochelle.
Tadd was born on March 4th, 1973 to Ben Crebs and Susan Rowsell in Salt Lake City, Utah. He attended St. Ann's Catholic School as a boy. He married and had a daughter, Kara Crebs and step daughter Jalisa, later divorced. In 2001, Tadd got a second chance at love and reunited with his soul mate, Rochelle Lee. They moved to Georgia, built a life, and together they raised her two children, Jessica and Braiden Lee, and he raised them as his own. Tadd became a grandfather to a little girl Zariah Crebs, which gave him immense joy.
He is survived by his love, Rochelle; children Kara, Jessica, Braiden; and special Daughter, Kelly; Granddaughter Zariah Crebs; His parents Ben (Connie) and Susan (Al); In-laws Garry and Jane Lancaster; Brothers Nathan Crebs (Jen), Chris Kirsling; Sister Whitney Perez (Rob); A Special Aunt Lorri Neff (Terry); and countless other family members and friends that loved him dearly.
