Dr. James Crenshaw
October 15, 1947 - November 14, 2018
Birth: 10/15/1947, Deleon, TX. Death: 11/14/2018, Tyler, TX
After completing high school in Jal, New Mexico, Jim went on to study at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. As a newly minted graduate, "Doc" Crenshaw moved to East Texas and built the famous "Alamo" building on Highway 69 N, where he offered chiropractic care for over 40 years. "Doc" Crenshaw was instrumental in founding the Tyler Unity Center of Practical Christianity. He also shared a lifelong interest in music, playing numerous instruments and recording across several genres. Dr. Crenshaw had a certain interest in leather-working, hand-tooling several saddles from scratch. He had a keen interest in Native American culture and was an avid reader of fiction centering on the "Old West." He had a love of the outdoors, whether it was a good game of golf or paddling around the lake with his best friend, Carol, this past summer in a stunningly beautiful hand-hewn cedar strip canoe he crafted. A man of many talents, from painting to poetry, he will be missed by his friends and family.
Dr. Crenshaw was preceded in death by his father, James Eugene Crenshaw, and his beloved son, Frank Ramon Crenshaw. He is survived by long-time companion, Carol Herring of Tyler, TX. As well, he is survived by three children: Paul N. Crenshaw of San Antonio, TX, James Benjamin Crenshaw of Yantis, TX and Darryl Crenshaw of Oklahoma; his mother, Reta Crenshaw and sister, Sheila Frank - both of Plano, TX; and many grandchildren.
Honorary Pallbearers are: Arcenio Ramirez, Bill Ferguson, Mel Edstrum, Dazion Goodsky, and Jerry Whiddon.
