Dannie Mitchell Crawford, age 85, of Wyoming Road, Hillsboro, passed away peacefully Monday, February 16, 2026, at UK Medical Center in Lexington.

Born March 4, 1940, in Fleming County, Dannie was the son of the late Tilton Crawford and Grace Moore Crawford. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by one sister, Nadine Barker.

He is also survived by one who was as close as a child, his beloved Australian Shepherd, Joanie, along with extended family and many dear friends.

Dannie was a lifelong farmer and a member of Grange City Christian Church. He also worked at the Maysville, KY King Tobacco Warehouse and Eastern KY Tobacco Warehouse. He enjoyed coon hunting, riding horses, and fishing, and he loved an ice-cold Diet Coke. His greatest joy was spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren.
