ALLEN BRIAN CROW

Allan Brian Crow passed away at his home in Decatur, Georgia on Friday,
March 8th after a ten-year struggle with neuroendocrine cancer. He was
born on February 17, 1953, and was 66 years old.
A graveside service will be held at Greenwood Cemetery in Ruston,
Louisiana on March 23rd at 11:00 am. A reception will follow at the Temple
Baptist Church Life Center, 1515 S. Service Road W, Ruston, Louisiana,
71270.
Allan attended Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge and graduated
with a Bachelor of Science in communications in 1976 (Geaux Tigers).
After graduating, he was the Assistant Public Information Officer for the
Louisiana Department of Education, Public Relations Director for a local
business association, and Executive Director of the Louisiana Democratic
Party. In 1983, he established a political media consulting firm, Allan Crow
and Associates, in Baton Rouge, and served during an election cycle as
Southern Political Director with the Democratic Congressional Campaign
Committee. Allan moved his business to Atlanta in 1998 and maintained an
office in Washington, D.C., continuing his work to help elect candidates
throughout the country. He was nationally recognized by multiple media
organizations as one of the country’s most effective political consultants
and for his talents in writing, designing, and producing clever and effective
campaign ads. He retired from his life’s work in 2018.
Allan was a member of Peachtree Road United Methodist Church. His
dedication to his faith strongly influenced his actions in all aspects of his
personal and professional life. He believed in the power of the human spirit
and that, with God’s help, there was nothing he could not do. He lived his
beliefs every day, and will be remembered for his intelligence, integrity, 
wit,
and humor, and for his compassion and empathy toward all people. Allan
will also be remembered for his incredible attention to and knowledge of
details and ability to hold intelligent and meaningful discussions related to
many topics, especially sports, music, and politics. He was a loving and
devoted husband, a loyal brother, an encouraging and supportive uncle,
and a true friend. His creative and generous spirit will continue to be an
inspiration to all who knew him.
Allan is preceded in death by his parents Dr. William Miles Crow and Betty
Hanna Crow. He is survived by his wife Teresa Frances Tucker; sister,
Brenda Benthul (James) of Prairieville, Louisiana; brother, Grady Crow
(Susan) of Houston, Texas; step-mother Shirley Drake Crow of Monroe,
