November 1, 1994 - August 21, 2015
On the afternoon of August 21, 2015, Dakota passed away at his home in Little Rock, AR. He was 20 years old.
Dakota Crow was born in Little Rock, AR on November 1, 1994, the first child of Terri Crow and Jeff Crow. He is survived by his parents; brother, Jacob Thomas Crow; grandparents, Relton and Merl Spann; uncle Steve and Debi Spann all of Little Rock and aunt Sharon and Jim Wells of Springdale, AR, cousins, friends, and a very special friend.
Dakota attended Estem Charter School in Little Rock where he graduated in 2013. He was attending the University of Arkansas and would have been a junior majoring in chemical engineering.
Dakota was a beautiful, loving boy but a demon known as depression consumed him. Although he struggled daily to find happiness and freedom, it defeated him and took his life. To anyone finding themselves in a similar situation there are many depression treatment centers in the area that can help.
Funeral arrangements are being provided by Roller-Chenal Funeral Home, 13801 Chenal Pkwy., Little Rock, AR (501) 224-8300. The Celebration of his life will be held Thursday at 6:00 P.M. at Trinity Assembly of God Church, 11120 Cantrell Rd., Little Rock, AR. The service will be officiated by Irene Mitchell and Rev. Dwayne Maynard.
Honorary pallbearers are Jacob Crow, Ike Ferrell, Hayden Ferrell, Nathan Traub, Anthony Hughes, Addie Smith, Kasi Kready, Claire Vogelgesang, Courtney Gough, Ashleigh Chaney, Tara Sheikha, and Sammye Kagy.
The family asks that any memorial donations be made to a depression treatment center or organization of your choice such as NAMI, National Alliance of Mental Illness at 1012 Autumn Rd # 1, Little Rock, AR 72211, (501) 661-1548.

dakota was very close to my brother morgan and as he was close to morgan he was also close to me when he attended
estem.

he will be dearly missed and i hope he has found the peace
he was searching for.

We remember Dakota so fondly from the days when he and our son, Grant, were on the eStem Quiz Bowl team together. We enjoyed getting to know him -- and teasing him about his Iron Maiden sneakers. Our hearts go out to you. His death is being sincerely mourned by people you didn't even know that he touched.

I am very sorry for your loss. I have been dealing with depression for 30 years, I can honestly say I understand the emotional roller coaster your son was going through. I hope you don't mind me sharing these scriptures that help me to deal with my pain and anxiety to get me through. Our Heavenly Father holds our dear loved ones in his loving memory and he longs to reunites us with them again, in a world without sickness, pain and even death! (John 5:28, 29; Psalm 37:29; Isaiah 25:14; Revelation 21:3-5)
