Crafton was born on January 25, 1931 in Grayson, LA and passed away peacefully at his home February 23, 2016. He was a member of Cypress Baptist Church. Crafton proudly served in the United States Air Force. After many years, Crafton “Dooley” retired from Manville Paper Mill then went to work for Pinecrest Elementary School as the maintenance man where he was loved by all. You could always find Crafton piddling in his garden, feeding his catfish, working in his greenhouse, or cruising with Mrs. Yvonne in their golf cart. Crafton adored his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, especially joking around with them and riding them around. We will always miss those big bear hugs and his mayhaw “papaw's” jelly.

He is preceded in death by his wife, Yvonne Marie May; parents, William T. and Irene May; siblings, Waylon May, Mervin “Buck” May, Doris Aulds, and Mavis Weeks; grandson, Will May.
