Albert Lee Crenshaw

Albert Lee Crenshaw lived his life in Cleveland and was 44 years old when he died on April 10, 2019. Public records and reporting about him are limited in scope, but what is clear is that Albert was a real person with ties to his city and a web of relationships that extended beyond what formal records record. He was part of a neighborhood and a community; those local connections are part of the human story left behind.

Because no family-published obituary or funeral-home notice was located in reliable public sources that matches his full name and the exact date of death, there is little publicly available detail about Albert’s work, family, or personal interests to draw on without risking error. That scarcity of published personal information does not diminish the reality of his life: friends, family, neighbors, and others who knew him would have experienced his personality, his daily routines, and the small acts that make up a life. The facts that are publicly documented — his name, age, hometown of Cleveland, and date of passing — anchor this remembrance, while acknowledging that the deeper contours of his life remain with those who knew him personally.

It is appropriate here to honor Albert by recognizing him first as a person who lived and belonged to a place. Those who loved him will remember the everyday details that made him who he was — the stories, voices, and presence that cannot be fully captured in news reports or court records. This memorial page is offered with restraint and respect, to acknowledge Albert’s life and the loss felt by those close to him, and to provide a quiet place to recognize his humanity rather than reduce him to the circumstances of his death.
