Tom was born on May 22, 1963 in the Panama Canal Zone to the late Thomas Calvin Crebbs and Virginia Page Chichester.  He was an Air Force Veteran and worked as a truck driver.  He loved his animals, going to auctions and yard saling looking for "stuff", volunteered for Bike MS: Gateway Getaway Ride where everyone knew him as "Our Gatorade Making Man" and Hartz Second Chance, especially with the cats.  He enjoyed hunting, was a proud Paw Paw, never met a stranger, and would help anyone that needed it.

He is survived by his mother, Virginia Chichester; fiancé, Michelle Brockman; four children:  Tyler (Jason Madsen) Crebbs, Andrew (Valerie) Brockman, Taylor (Brooklyn Dietz) Brockman and Andrea (Eric) Klumpp; six grandchildren:  Lucy, Everett, Abram, Irelyn, Emmy and Wyatt; two brothers:  Peyton and Archer Crebbs; a sister, Virginia (Dan) Newton; numerous nieces and nephews.

Upon his request, Tom was cremated and a Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, November 5, 2022 in Caseyville, IL.  More details will follow later on Facebook or contact a family member.

Memorials are suggested to Hartz Second Chance and will be received at or can be mailed to Barry Wilson Funeral Home, 2800 N. Center Street, Maryville, IL 62062.
