Joe LaCrue Passed Away from COVID-19 Complications

It is with great sadness that we report the loss of a good friend, longtime CRA Member and colleague in the roofing industry. 

Our deepest sympathy & condolences to his family, friends and former associates and co-workers. Joe LaCrue (46) Passed Away from COVID-19 Complications on November 29, 2020.

Joe was a longtime CRA member and a friend and associate to many of you in the roofing industry. He was an avid supporter of the association and all we do. Over the years he helped with our education efforts and rarely missed the trade show, awards dinner or golf and sporting clay tournament. Joe was always cheerful and ready to greet you with a friendly hello and smile.

Joe started in the industry in the early 2000's at Weather Guard Building Products, later moved to Drexel Metals in 2009 and since March 2012 he was with Sheffield Metals, most recently serving as the National Accounts Manager. He enjoyed developing strong relationships with contractors and wholesalers in the Roofing industry. Many of you have enjoyed golfing, traveling and good food with him.

Joe graduated from Lutheran High School and also enjoyed camping, the Denver Broncos, fly fishing, boating and riding his ATV’s.

Most importantly, Joe was a great and devoted father and was heavily involved with his children’s activities including school, baseball and football. He leaves behind three wonderful boys, Cole (16), Ty (14) and Zane (8) and his new fiancé, Susan Sanchez.

Joe’s smile, laugh and sense of humor will be missed by all that knew him. May he rest in peace.
