Obituary
Maddox Lee Crabtree was born in Wichita
on June 14, 2006, to Nancy Jo Mueller and Jeremy Crabtree. He died in
McPherson County Wednesday (June 1, 2016). He had been a student at
Sunset Elementary in Newton through the third grade and completed his
fourth grade year at Northridge Elementary. He was an avid soccer and
baseball player and was a member of the Juventus U10 soccer team. He
loved to read, especially Harry Potter and Calvin and Hobbes, and he
loved nature, whether fishing and watching out for frogs and turtles,
hiking trails or going on bird walks, where he could identify many
birds. He had started learning woodworking skills from his grandpa
and had made wooden mice toys for this year's MCC sale.
Maddox attended Bethel College
Mennonite Church, North Newton, where he was a member of the fourth
and fifth grade Sunday school class and an "ex-officio"
member of the church's high school youth group.
Maddox is survived by his mother, Nancy
Mueller; his stepdad, Jacob Schrag; father Jeremy Crabtree of Corpus
Christi, Texas; grandparents Jim and Melanie Mueller; grandmother
Charmaine Zerger; aunt Becky Mueller; great-grandmother Ruth Boese;
numerous family members and friends; his cat Khaleesi; and his dog
Monroe. Maddox brought great joy wherever he went.
