News Hiking Accident Claims Joe Crawford
posted by on April 11 at 12:03 PM
According to a post on Kerri Harrop’s MySpace and a corroborating story in the Times, Joe Crawford, guitarist for defunct math-rockers the New Mexicans, died in a hiking accident over the weekend. He was 28.
Harrop’s obituary is far more intimate than anything I can write; I’m just reporting the news. Kathleen Wilson also wrote extensively about the New Mexicans in her column in The Stranger. They were a well-liked band and Crawford was, apparently, a well-loved member of the Seattle music community.
Condolences to Crawford’s family and friends.
As a good friend of Joe Crawford, I want to express my deep sorrow for the loss of one of the nicest and most sincere people I am sure I will ever meet.
I have been at a loss for words since this happened and and I still don't know what to say except that I loved Joe and will miss him everyday for the rest of my life.

My condolences to his family and friends...
Even though I never met him, I know from my son Michael who worked with him at Staging, that Joe was a dreamer and a doer. Joe encouraged my son to follow his dreams and to make them happen. I am glad he was a contributor to my sons' life. I am sure that everyone who was fortunate enough to know Joe is better for it; he was a dynamic, energetic and a positive force wherever he went.
He was a strong, humble and wonderful man.
