Devin Crockran
Devin Keion Crockran, son of Evalyn Clark and Brian Crockran, was born on April 21, 2001, and passed on Tuesday, April 20, 2021, at the young age of 19.
Devin was a 2020 graduate of Central High School, in Chattanooga, Tennessee. While in high school, he played football. His favorite football team was the Louisiana State University Tigers. Devin was best known for his sense of humor and love of pranks. Making people smile was his passion. He was also passionate about spending time with family. Devin loved to see his mom and brother Alan happy. Despite their age difference, Devin loved spending time with Alan and spent many days after school playing basketball and video games with him. During Devin’s free time, he enjoyed frequent visits to his great-grandmothers’ houses and spent time with cousins and close friends. His cousin Brayden joined him in his pranks and grew to become more of a brother than a cousin. Devin was keenly interested in the world around him and enjoyed trips to the beach with his mom, brother, grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins. Devin’s big hugs and handsome smile will be missed by all who knew him.
Devin is now reunited in heaven, with his grandmother, Linda Yvette Franklin; great-grandfather, William Davis, Sr.; stepfather, Timothy Shropshire, Sr.
He is survived by his parents, Evalyn Clark and Brian Crockran; siblings, Alan Shropshire, J’len Crockran, Timothy Shropshire, II, Timia Shropshire, and Tanesha Townsend.
