Joseph Dean Crouse

God took our precious angel, on borrowed time, home. Joseph Dean Crouse, age 33, of Benton, lost his courageous battle with brain cancer on Thursday, Sept. 17, 2010, in which he constantly had faith in the Lord above. He was born on July 29, 1977 in California to his parents Jewel and Reina Crouse. He worked at Pepsi Americas and considered the people he worked with for 12 years like family. Joseph was attending college and had completed Dale Carnegie courses and various other things. Joseph had the kindest of hearts, human or animal and was always there to lend a helping hand, with a smile that could light the world. He will forever be missed and our loss is Heaven's gain. This dedicated husband, father and son leaves behind a wife, Sabrina Crouse and two children: Kaleb A. A. Crouse and Joshua P. D. Crouse. His parents Jewel and Reina Crouse, two brothers, Michael Crouse and wife Sandra and David Crouse. He also leaves behind his sister, Candi Robinett and a host of other family and friends that is far to extended to mention. A celebration of life will be held at 11:30 a.m., Monday, Sept. 20, 2010 in the chapel of Dial & Dudley Funeral Home in Bryant, 501-847-9099, with Pastor Roy Willis officiating. Visitation will take place from 2-4 p.m. on Sunday at the funeral home. Pallbearers will be Gene Hill, Nathan Hobby, Bill Willmot, Chad Hause, Mike Sanders and Will Osborne. Joseph's wish was to pass away at home and that wish was so granted. Thanks go out to Arkansas Hospice and all the people that helped make that happen. A special thanks goes out to Michelle Hause, Noah Gibson, Marisol Avash, Karen Cathy, Sandra Crouse, Joan Doolen, Will and Melissa Osborne and all the numerous friends who stayed by my side day and night.
