Amberly Dawn Crowford Doubt, 46 yrs. old, passed away Sunday, June 22, 2025 from a sudden and untimely health issue. She was taken from us far too soon. Amberly was born in Murray, Utah on January 20, 1979. She was a born leader and always took charge. As a teenager she excelled in school and was a determined and hard worker. These attributes quickly qualified her as the manager of Arctic Circle at a particularly young age. She enjoyed martial arts and took an active interest in Karate. At the age of 3 she started Suzuki method piano lessons and continued to play for personal enjoyment in her adult years. She began playing the violin at age 10 and continued through high school.
Amberly met and married Blane Crabtree who later passed away in 2011. Through that union, she found her greatest calling and joy in becoming a mother to her wonderful and accomplished daughter Kaedyn who in recent years graduated with a bachelor’s degree from the University of Utah. Amberly was so proud of her achievements in life and has arduously and thoroughly kept every last piece of school work, art, and accolade Kaedyn has ever attained in her 27 yrs. She loved and adored her.
Amberly’s work interests led her into an impressive, longstanding career in the Salt City Police Department. This is also where she met her husband Tim Doubt, former Assistant Chief of Police. Amberly was the former director of the CompStat and Analysis Unit of the SLCPD.
Amberly served 22 years in the Salt Lake City Police Department beginning in the Records Division. Over her 15-year tenure there, she played a key role in solving several cold cases with Detective Hilary Gordon. Their work locating next of kin for unresolved deaths and missing-person cases earned them the Police Distinguished Service Medal.
Amberly later led the former CompStat and Analysis Unit, providing critical assistance on high-profile cases, including the Mackenzie Lueck homicide. She compiled and delivered regular COVID-19 data to Utah Legislature, City Council and the County Criminal Justice Advisory Council. She had expertise in police data, records and archives, online records, and analytical tools improving and serving the community. Additionally, Amberly helped establish and run the SLCPD Police Civilian Explorer Post - an outreach program for youth with an interest in the justice system. After leaving the department in 2022, she stayed in touch and remained proud of the work accomplished at the SLCPD.
Amberly had a gift for taking care of young children. They gravitated to her natural ability to nurture them so kindly and lovingly. She has grandchildren and many nieces and nephews that love her so much and will miss her dearly.
Amberly was a force to be reckoned with. She had a certain feistiness, and things generally had a way of working out the way she wanted them to. She loved the color pink and some black sprinkled into the mix. Dr. Pepper was on tap and ketchup and ranch were her condiments of choice. Grey’s Anatomy was her all-time favorite TV drama. Amberly always knew how to throw a great theme party and had a knack for home decor, always decorating for every season and holiday. Family traditions were very important to her. In her early 20’s she was an excellent pool player. Treasure hunting and antiquing were other avid interests. She also adored all things Disney! Disneyland and the beach were her top vacation locations. In fact, she was even married on the beach in Southern California after later meeting her soul mate and true love of her life, Tim Doubt. They married in 2018. Their deep love for each other has always been a hallmark of their marriage. They loved each other beyond expression.
Amberly will be sorely missed as she has left an unforgettable mark in this world. Memory of her will always live in our hearts. We love and miss you so much Amberly!

Due to Amberly & my brother Blane getting divorced. We didn't get to see much of Amberly. But when my brother passed away. Amberly tried to be as present as she could in our lives and attended a lot of our family functions to support us and it meant a lot to us. We loved being able to see Kaedyn & Amberly more often. I imagine it may have felt really awkward and uncomfortable for Amberly. But she put her feelings to the side and truly showed up for us in an emotionally supportive way.
I personally don't know how many divorced wives would show so much support to a family that they felt estranged from. But I think it says a lot about Amberly's character and what was in her heart.
Amberly found a way to not just collectively reach out to our family. But also found a way to individually reach out to us.
Amberly was also willing to speak up and say something when most of us lack such courage and choose to take the safe path and remain silent.
Kaedyn, I’m sorry for your loss of your Mother.
