Edward Arnold Crider, of Taylor, Michigan, passed away May 1st, 2018 in the care of his loving family.

Beloved husband to Carol for 69 enchanting years.
Proud father of Corbett (Gerry), Gail (Bill) Holbrook, Paul, Christy (John) Glenn, and Joseph.
Dearest grandfather of 17, great-grandfather of 18, and great-great-grandfather to 2.

Edward was a dedicated man to his family, his community, and his religion. He served as pastor at Taylor Emmanuel Baptist Church for 54 meaningful years. He always found time to spread spirituality to those in need at nursing homes and to teach the good word at schools. An avid fisherman, he'd often take trips to Algonac and other local rivers to cast out his line and relax. Edward was never one to hold a grudge and became easy friends with those he met. His heart was so big with love for his family, friends, and community. He will surely be missed by so many.

Services will be held privately.
