Robert Thomas "Bob" Crowe

Robert Thomas “Bob” Crowe, 75, of Lakewood, Colorado, passed away on June 3, 2026.

Born on April 5, 1951, in Flint, Michigan, to John Cecil Crowe and Eliza Amelia Ott, Bob built a life defined by hard work, generosity, and a remarkable ability to connect with others. After leaving Michigan, he moved to Kansas, where he began his paint career. He later settled in Colorado Springs where he proudly owned his own paint store. When he moved to Lakewood, he opened Smart Painting, a paint and construction business that reflected his dedication and craftsmanship.

After stepping away from the paint industry, Bob found new purpose working for Jefferson County Schools Transportation, where he compassionately transported special needs children. His kindness and patience made a lasting impact on the students and families he served.

Bob will be remembered for his love of family and friends, his sharp wit, and his gift for conversation. He often said he “knew a little bit about a lot of things,” and he delighted in sharing stories and laughter. A passionate cook, Bob always made enough food to send visitors home with something warm and homemade. His warmth, humor, and generosity will be forever missed and always held in our hearts.

Bob is survived by his wife, Susan; his sons, Jon (Christy) and Alan; his grandsons, Thomas and Michael; along with extended family and friends who loved him dearly.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

Ruthanne Weaver

Ruthanne was an amazing woman. She left Lincoln, Nebraska with John Weaver (1941-2006) upon graduating from college and never looked back. They lived all over the country for John’s medical education, having children in Philadelphia (Judson, 1967-2023) and New Orleans (Amanda 1971-). “Ruthie”, as she was known to the Weaver family, was the only child of Ralph and Nadine Read. While she grew up in many places between Arkansas and Nebraska, she always called Colorado home as the family had a summer cabin in Eldora,CO throughout her childhood.

After settling in Brainerd, MN for her husband’s practice in 1972, she went about making her own mark with her passions. With a major in art history, she was a gifted artist (ceramics) and had a passion for arts education. She helped to start and maintain several organizations over the years: The Morning Star Gallery (Nisswa, MN), the Brainerd Area Arts Alliance (BAAA), and in recent years, the Crossing Arts Alliance in Brainerd, MN.

She was also a great friend. From her early years in Brainerd, she was not only a passionate artist and advocate, but also committed to her second loves, food and travel. She and John were part of the “Gourmet Group”, a group of friends who met for over 30 years. They cooked recipes from all over the world, taking a break from family and professional duties to come together over food. She also traveled all over the world with family and friends throughout her life- appreciating art, culture, and food everywhere she went.

When John was diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer’s in 1996, Ruthanne changed her career to caregiving. For several years, she cared for John, moving him to Minneapolis where a few organizations were offering bourgeoning memory services at the time. Then in 2004, she returned to the Brainerd area with John as he was in the last stages of the disease.

After John’s death in 2006, she refocused on her artistic passions, joining a ceramicist studio at the Crossing Arts Alliance. In 2015, she moved “back” to her home state of Colorado where she lived in Golden (close to her daughter and her beloved mountains) and continued to create pottery at local arts centers until her death.

Ruthanne was a fearless advocate, a courageous adventurer, a creative wizard, and a great friend. She was also a dedicated wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, and mother-in-law. She is still here in the hearts of Amanda (daughter), Carol (daughter-in-law), Jackson, Calvin, & Tessa (grandchildren), and all her many friends. Memorials will be held at future dates to be announced. To honor her, please give to your local arts advocacy group and/or public radio station.

Frank James Schafer

FRANK JAMES SCHAFER

Frank James Schafer passed away on July 18, 2026 at the age of 82 at his home in Littleton, Colorado with family by his side. Frank was born May 1, 1944 to Frederick and Katherine Elizabeth (Prester) Schafer in Ft. Collins, Colorado.

Frank met his forever wife, Jeanie McLaughin, in November of 1966 in Denver, Colorado while home on leave from the army. They were married on September 2, 1967 in Denver, Colorado. Frank and Jeanie were together 59 years. To this union they were blessed with two children, Heather Dawn, 1973, and Brandon Eli Schafer, 1980.

Frank was one of nine children and the youngest boy. He grew up in Ft. Collins and graduated from Ft Collins High School in 1962 and later took some college courses. Frank started work at an early age. As a child, he would do yard work outside while his mother cleaned the house inside. He was only 8 years old. He pulled his wagon across town to the newspaper office, loaded it up with newspapers, and then would sell them for a nickel a piece to local businesses and bars in town. He got to keep three cents per paper and was thrilled. Later he would load bales of hay onto trucks for local farmers and finally he went to work for the local GW Sugar Factory.

In December of 1962, Frank enlisted in the United States Army. He was stationed at Ft. Meyers, Virginia and was based out of the Pentagon. He was a top secret courier and often would help guard President Lyndon Johnson when he would land at the army bases. Another duty Frank performed was delivering to the White House, the weekly casualty report of our fallen soldiers in Vietnam.

Frank was a humble man and a hard worker. After an honorable discharge from the United States Army, he worked as a mail carrier for 32 years. Following his retirement from the US Postal Service in 2002, Frank worked another 13 years with Denver Regional Transportation District (RTD).

Frank could be a moody German or a kindhearted soul. He loved classical, country, Hawaiian and John Denver music. He loved gardening and puttering around the yard. He enjoyed his model train hobby and doing Sudoku puzzles. Frank loved the beauty of the Poudre Canyon and his family was very important to him.

Frank and Jeanie enjoyed taking trips together as a family and in later years they became Snowbirds in Yuma, Arizona.

Frank was preceded in death by his parents, Frederick and Katherine Schafer; daughter, Heather Dawn (1973); daughter-in-law, Brenda (2020); brothers - Bob, Jerry, Don and Jesse; sisters - infant girl, Virginia and Barbara. He is survived by his wife, Jeanie, of the home; son, Brandon and his wife, Bryn of Ohio; grandson, Gavin, of Ohio; bonus grandson, David, and bonus great grandson, Killian, of Ohio; sister, Kathy of Ft. Collins; and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.

A Celebration of Life will be held Friday, August 7, 2026 at Olinger Funeral Home, 7777 West 29th Avenue at Wadsworth Blvd, Wheat Ridge, Colorado, in the Serenity Pointe building at 1 p.m. with reception to follow.

Jeanie and family would like to thank Steven and Ann Schaeffer, friends Karen and Janette, and the Southwest Denver Davita Dialysis Center technicians and nurses for all the love and support they showed Frank during his illness and his passing. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the American SIDS Institute, 528 Raven Way, Naples, Florida 34110, in memory of Frank and Jeanie's daughter, Heather Dawn.
