CLINTON CROCKER
1944 ~ CLINTON CROCKER ~ 2023
It is with great sorrow, that the family of Clinton James “Chip” Crocker announce his passing at his home in Medicine Hat on Thursday, April 6th, 2023 at the age of 78 years. Clinton leaves to cherish his memory his loving wife of 56 years, Bonnie; son, Clarence Crocker; daughter, Sherry (Justin) Dyck; grandchildren, Avery Crocker (James), Sean Crocker (Tanya), Stran (Erin) Dyck and Trey Dyck; brother, Allen (Ruth) Crocker; as well as cousins, Chuck, Rill, Roseanne, and especially close to Chip’s heart, his cousin, Linda Fowlie. Clinton was predeceased by his father, Bradley Crocker; mother, Edith MacGregor (Crocker); and brother, Clarence Crocker. Clinton was born on April 8th, 1944 in Empress, AB and grew up on the family ranch in Bindloss, AB. Tragically, early in Chip’s life, he was the sole survivor of a motor vehicle accident, which claimed the lives of both his father and his brother, Clarence. In the face of this life changing tragedy, Chip purchased the Barnes farm, and this was the beginning of his lifelong passion for farming. As the years rolled by, the farming operation grew and evolved into a family operation, as he worked with his son, Clarence by his side. Although his true love was always the farm, he was also an active member of the Bindloss community. He volunteered as a member of the Bindloss Hall Board, the Fire Department, and numerous other community activities and events. Chip’s world revolved around his family, especially his grandchildren, his farm, and his community. While Chip certainly knew how to work hard, he also knew how to play hard. There were countless late night (or early morning) cocktails with his many friends. In 1996, Chip and Bonnie purchased a home in Medicine Hat and began their retirement. Active as ever, this meant many rounds of golf, card games, poker tournaments, travelling, garage-saling, and many more cocktails with his friends. Chip’s spirit and love of life and laughter will be deeply missed by all those who knew and loved him. Family and friends are invited to celebrate Chip’s life at the CYPRESS CENTRE, 2055 – 21 Avenue SE, Medicine Hat, AB, on Wednesday, April 12th, 2023 at 3:00 pm with Dr. Shane Andrus officiating. A lunch “party” will follow for his family and friends as per his wish. A family interment will take place at a later date in Empress, AB. Memorial gifts in Clinton’s memory may be made to HALO Air Ambulance, 557 18 St SW, Medicine Hat, AB T1A 8C4.
