"Pastor Crabtree married Debbie and me on August 25, 1979, while we were members of Bethel Church in San Jose, CA. He was our pastor both before and after we were married and he always remembered us and our children when he went to Boise, Idaho some years later to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Assembly of God in Idaho. Debbie and I have been married for 42+ years, and we had two children and now have five grandchildren. We both appreciated his leadership and his role as our pastor. Ramona you will be in our prayers."

"I will never forget those times as a teacher when Charles Crabtree would come to Oregon Old Fashioned Camp Meeting. I loved how he brought theWord to life in a way that made sense even to a young person. He will be forever tied toCamp Meeting in my heart, thinking of one time in particular when he took time to pal around with me and showed me a knuckle grab that could bring anyone to their knees. I thought he was so cool to hang out with teenagers such as myself! Now I've been in the ministry 35 years and I attribute it to great men and women of God such as Charles Crabtree. My sincerest condolences to the family."

"I am deeply saddened by the passing of this wonderful man of God. Practically every General Council meetings, I have sought to greet him, and he would, with much love, embrace me and encourage me to move forward. I will truly treasure and miss his friendship, wisdom, and love for the lost. Until we meet again, my friend! Pastor Joe Mendez"

"Dear Ramona and family God bless you all as God carries you through this great loss. Pastor Crabtree was such an inspiration to me since I started attending Bethel Church in 1981. I loved his preaching and the way he criss crossed the platform as the thunder of his voice carried him. He touched my heart and my spirit.
I was so happy to see him at Bethel a few years ago. We will all see him again in Glory land.
God Bless you, Alma Guillot"
