Obituary for Steven Broyles Crocker
Steven Broyles Crocker, age 66
Steven (Steve) was born October 29, 1954, in Pawnee,
Oklahoma. He lost his battle with COVID 19 on August 30, 2021, in Bartlett,
Tennessee. Steve always knew he wanted to be a pilot. After graduating from
OSU, he worked his way into aviation by obtaining a flight instructor rating
that allowed his to build up flight hours by instruction at various flights
schools. During his career, he flew for *Republic, Northwest and Delta
Airlines, based in Detroit, Michigan. Steve retired in October 2019 after a
35-year flying career. He stopped counting accumulated flight hours after
30,000+. A fellow pilot said, “There isn’t an airplane that Steve could not
fly.” He was most proud of his Twin Comanche and riding his Harley Davidson
motorcycle. At the time of his retirement, he was flying international flights
as captain of the Airbus 330. He was well loved by the general aviation
community in the Memphis area and throughout the country.
Steve is preceded by his parents, Leslie and Carmen. He
leaves behind his loving wife, Paola, stepson Milo Jr. (Megan) and
step-granddaughter Olivia and step-daughter Gina. He has twin daughters living
in Kansas, Heather (Shawn) and granddaughter Brenda, Jennifer (Jason) and
grandson Denver and granddaughter Dakota. He leaves behind his brother from
Pawnee, Oklahoma, Ted (Alesa), nephews Leslie, Rolen (Malica) and Corbin. Also
his brother Fred, residing in Mississippi. He leaves his Aunt Mary Lou
Richardson and cousin, Tracy Richardson, (Clara) of Cushing, Oklahoma. Steve
was the happiest when he was surrounded by his family and friends. He passed
away a very happy man.
A graveside service will be held on Thursday, September 16
at 10:00 a.m. at the Highland Cemetery in Pawnee, Oklahoma.
The date for the local service here in Memphis is pending
