Obituary: Adam Tyler Hendrickson Crouch

August 8, 2000 – November 1, 2024

Adam Tyler Hendrickson Crouch, 24, of Bedford, IN, passed away on Friday, November 1, 2024.

He was born on August 8, 2000, in Bloomington. Adam was a light in many people’s lives. He took pride in many of his aspirations. He enjoyed spending time outdoors, welding, online gaming, and spending time with friends and family. Adam worked in Florida as an environmental spray technician, where he spent time with iguanas, alligators, snakes, and ducks, operated airboats, tractors, and pulled heavy equipment. He worked in Bloomington as a tech at a mental health hospital, wanting to help others fight the same battles he fought so hard. These two jobs described Adam very well. His passion for these jobs was
admirable. He had more sad times than most will ever know, and he stayed conscientious, caring, moral, and strong for many years. He was outgoing and enjoyed exploring, but he also cared about the well-being of others and was always sticking up for people anytime he saw they needed it.

If you met Adam, you were guaranteed to learn something interesting. He was a person who carried a heavy interest in learning and devotion to understanding. His ability to learn every detail was beyond astonishing. Most people know Adam for his selfless behavior. He didn’t need a reason, benefit, or desire to provide you with his company. Adam had the personality to fill a room with laughter and was an avid protector of his mother and two siblings.

Saying goodbye so soon isn’t something we had planned. The memories, laughter, and love Adam has given us can bring us joy as we remember him. In every memory, we find and hold onto a part of him. His smile, laughter, selflessness, and charismatic soul echo deep into our hearts.

Adam is survived by his mother, December Hendrickson; his sister, Kristin Mullis; his brother, Axl Smedley; his brother, Joshua Crouch; his sister, Lydia Smith; his brother, Ashton Crouch; his sister, Kya Crouch; his aunt, Jennifer Duncan; his uncle, Brandon Duncan; and his cousin Miah Duncan who was also his second family: his best friend, Brady (Hailey) Bowers, and Adam’s niece, who brought him so much joy, Ellie Bowers; his Grandad Bruce (Jennifer) Crouch; as well as many other aunts uncles cousins and friends who loved him.

He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Carol and Michael Hendrickson; his Grandmother, Inez Duncan; his Grandad and Granny, Rolla (Christine) Hendrickson Sr.; and his Grandparents, Joyce and Roger Croy.
