Michael William Crowe, 73 of Ocala, FL, passed away peacefully on August 8, 2025 surrounded by his family.

He was born on July 20,1952 to the late John and Elizabeth Crowe. He was raised in New York and attended Tappan Zee High School where he met his future wife, Judith. He had two daughters and shortly after relocated to the suburbs of Chicago with Xerox where he worked for about 5 years. It is there where his love for the game of soccer grew, and he became an owner and operator of an indoor soccer sports facility. He spent many years coaching soccer at the youth and collegiate levels helping hundreds of young athletes. During this time, he also developed an interest in thoroughbred horse racing and eventually retired and became an owner of a horse farm in Ocala. He was a strong, funny, loyal man who loved his family and influenced so many lives.

Michael is survived by his wife Judith Crowe; his two daughters Kim Crowe and Kristine Walker, and son-in-law James Walker; his grandson Ante Michael Cop; his brother Paul Crowe and wife Carla Crowe; his sister Elizabeth Falco and her husband Louis Falco; his brother Thomas Crowe and his wife Fran Crowe; his sister-in-law Kathleen Crowe (wife of his late brother John Crowe); his nieces and nephews: John Michael Crowe, Brian Crowe, Jean Crowe, Marie Heinimann, Jenette Crowe, Louls Falco, Lyndsay Falco, Christina Nilson and Cara Constantinides.
