Jeffrey Crandall

Jeffrey Crandall, 57, of Mondovi, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, July 1, 2016, at Gundersen Lutheran Hospital, La Crosse.
He was born on July 10, 1958, in Mondovi, the second of two children born to the late Sanford and Aggie (Mengelt) Crandall.
Jeff was a 1977 graduate of Mondovi High School and went on to earn an Associates Degree at CVTC in Eau Claire. Jeff was employed with various companies, most notably were Eleva Auto Salvage, Hanson Silo in Wilmar, Minn., Hutchinson Technology and, most recently, at Ashley Furniture in Arcadia.
He loved hunting and fishing. He always had one more spot in his boat for a friend or family member to join him on a fishing adventure. Jeff would always like to share a fishing story and say, “I almost had it,” or “really, it was that big.” Jeff also enjoyed cars and trucks, helping others in time of need and he always loved a good meal.
Jeff is survived by his nephew, Zach and Lacey Ashwell, and their children, Brody and soon to be Brock of Chippewa Falls; niece, Ashley and Cody LaDuke and their children, Reid and Sutton of Mondovi; siblings, Ray Schlegel of Columbus, Neb., Robin (Tom) Tjecka of Edison, Neb., Ron (Shelley) Brougham of Omaha, Neb., Karen (Tim) Trones, of Mondovi; mom, Marlean of Mondovi; brother-in-law, Chuck Ashwell of Mondovi; aunts, uncles, many cousins and dear friends.
Besides his parents, Jeff was preceded in death by his sister, Penny Ashwell.
