Robert Dean Crutchfield, age 85, passed away on May 27, 2018, at the Murray Calloway County Hospital in Murray, Kentucky. He was born October 5, 1932, in Fulton, Kentucky. He was a member of the Green Plain Church of Christ. Dean preached and served Churches of Christ in Alaska, Maine, Kentucky and Tennessee. His preaching for churches in gospel meetings and at lectureships took him to 24 states and 18 foreign countries.

For many years, he was the regular speaker on radio programs in Kentucky and Tennessee. He was instrumental in starting and was also moderator for seven years for a weekly television program, “Searching the Scriptures,” telecast over stations in three states and seen in parts of eight states.

From 1967 to 1982 his time was divided between work in Asia, and local work with churches in Kentucky and Tennessee. Since 1983, he was engaged full time in foreign evangelism. His work was primarily in India but also included Nepal, Myanmar, and Sri Lanka.
