Louis lived his life in Clarkridge and was the self-proclaimed ''Mayor of Clarkridge''. He was referred to as Mayor by almost all who knew him. He was a lifelong avid Cardinals baseball fan and even convinced one of his nieces that he had played for them.
Louis is survived by his brother: Barney (Debbie) Crawford of Strafford, Missouri; brother-in-law: Gerald Farris of Clarkridge; four nieces: Amy, Misty, Amber, and Beth, and nephew: Nathan. He was preceded in death by his parents and sister, Kathy Farris.

The position, of Mayor of Clarkridge, likely will remain unfilled. Who could ever fill that honorary post as well as 'Mayor'; whose qualifications were- friendship, humility, humor, and love of his roots
