Mr. Charles Addison Crumlett of Streamwood

Charles Addison Crumlett, of Streamwood, Illinois. Charles Addison Crumlett - (April 4, 1998 - March 15, 2024) - was born the day after the Chicago Cubs season opener in 1998, and his middle name is a Cubs reference. He was named Charles, after his uncle Chuck. Charlie graduated from Streamwood High School as a 12 sport athlete in 2016. In elementary and middle school, he played baseball in Streamwood Little League, and he was active with the Boy Scouts, because his friend’s family was active and invited him to join them. He ran cross country, wrestled, and ran track, but wrestling was always his favorite sport. That was the season we all looked forward to, because he was so fun to watch. From a very early age, dinosaurs were his favorite. In his quirky way, Charlie used to call his mom “The Mother of Dinosaurs.” He loved getting into all sorts of trouble with his friends and brothers and sister. Charles Addison Crumlett was always making things—often out of odds and ends. When he was young he used legos, and he made things out of duct tape. His mom once found a little book in his room that he made out of paper, bound together, and titled, “Charlie’s Secret War Plans.” When he was older he loved making knives with his dad and working on his truck—and he still made things out of duct tape. He loved his job for the same reason, it involved working on things and fixing things. He was also very close with the guys he worked with. It was clear they were family for each other. Charlie joined the Air Force after high school in 2016, completed his 6 years, and extended for another 4 years. He served at Seymour Johnson AFB in North Carolina, working on the F-15 Strike Eagle, Osan Air Base in Korea, working on the A-10 Thunderbolt II, and Joint Base Elmendor-Richardson (JBER) in Alaska, working on the F-22 Raptor. His parents hugged and kissed him goodbye in Goldsboro, NC on April 3, 2019, and he spent his 21st birthday traveling to Jordan for his first deployment. Loving son of Michael and Tami Crumlett; devoted brother of Collin (Alison) Crumlett, Shannon Crumlett, Joseph Crumlett and Bob Crumlett; cherished uncle of Amelia; beloved grandson of Mary and the late Bob Crumlett.

Charles Addison Crumlett also loved dogs. His own dog, Freyja, was so important to him. Charlie really struggled with leaving her behind when he went to Korea, and all he was talking about recently was bringing her to Alaska as soon as possible. Because of his love of dogs, in lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to Almost Home Foundation.
