He graduated from Oklahoma Military school and attended University of New Mexico. Tommy was an accomplished Rodeo participant and in his later years excelled at Team Roping ,mostly as a Header. He participated at the top USTRC and World Series Ropings, winning the World Championship Senior roping with Walt Woodard.He was an extremely generous man with a wit about him compared to none. No one was more dedicated to rodeo then Tommy. Tommy is survived by his life partner Renate Daniels of San Tan Valley, AZ; daughter Jaree Freeman and her family of Austin, TX; his son T.J. (Kretice) Crowson and grandchildren: Reed, Brady, and Jett. of Highlands Ranch, CO; His brother Freeland Crowson and his family. Top Cat Tommy would like us all to remember: I've ridden many a trail in my life & regrets I have few for. I lived the life I chose & to the Cowboy way stayed true. I will not ask for a mansion when I stand before God's throne. I'll be happy with a bedroll, a good herd & a sturdy roan. A cowboy's dream is what I lived for so many happy years I had my spread & family, made a good living from the calves & steers So do not cry when you think of me, for I would rather see you smile. Rest easy in the knowing that because of you, my life was not a trial. Do not stand around & spea...

Rest easy in the knowing that because of you, my life was not a trial. Do not stand around & speak in hushed & hallowed tones for there is nothing in this casket, except for husk & bones. My Spirit saddled up & hit the trail, heeding the Master's call And though I ride for him now, I'll miss you one & all In the creak of saddle leather & the jinglebobs you hear. I hope you think of me & know that I am ever near. I ride a range that knows no end, no stampede or rain and I'll keep one saddled for you until we meet again.
