Crites; his children, Cody (Lindsay) Crites, Cassie (companion, Matthew Whitman) Crites, and Colt Crites; grandchildren, Gage, Gracie, Gabbie, Kaedin, Jillian, Neco, Garrett, Braelyn, Ryker, Bethany, and Hades; siblings, Joseph (companion, Betsy) Crites and William (companion, Amy) Crites; his sister-in-law, Terri; and numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews.
