Shadale Crosby was born on October 16, 1969 in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, to proud parents, Sanford Crosby, Jr. and Josie Crosby. Shadale was the youngest son of five children. He, and his siblings, Teresa, Wendy, Milton, Sanford I l l and Danny, all grew up together as one big happy family, in Milwaukee.

At the age of eight years old, Shadale, and his family, relocated to Louisville, Kentucky. He received his education in the Jefferson County Public School System.

Shadale began his Christian journey at a young age, and gave his life to Christ. He was baptized at Forest Tabernacle Baptist Church, under the leadership of Rev. Shelby.

Dale, as he was often affectionately called, was employed at several companies. He was a dependable and responsible driver for Kendall Lawn Care and Shell Oil Service.

It wasn't all work and no play for Dale, because in his leisure time, as a young man, he enjoyed riding his moped, entertaining himself with music installations, all types of electronics, and engaging in competitive video games. Shadale also loved his "adrenaline rising" wrestling shows, and basketball games.

Shadale's most cherished and favorite moments, were spending time with his children and playing his music loud enough that everyone could enjoy what he was listening to.

Shadale Crosby transitioned in the early morning of May 24, 2025, from his earthly home to his heavenly home, to be with the Lord. He leaves to cherish his memories, his siblings, Wendy, Milton, Sanford III and
Danny; his children, Dalenisha, Lenette, Shanira, Shadale, LeMonte, and George; grandchildren, Damauri and Michail; and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends.
