Lavell Crawford’s father, Daryl Crawford, left his family when the comic was a little child. At the time, Annita Crawford, his mother, raised him and his sisters by herself.
The 52-year-old comedian gave a detailed explanation of his father’s reasons for leaving his family in an interview with DJ Vlad in April 2017. He admitted that his father was gay, and because of his fear of coming out, he made the decision to leave.
I’m gay, my father is gay,” he admitted. “He emerged from the closet, or more accurately, he fled. We hadn’t seen him in a good 20 or so years. When he came home after more than twenty years, he said that his family only discovered his father’s homosexuality.
Lavell laughed during the open discussion about how he didn’t know what to do after learning the truth. He also found it puzzling that his father had left just for that reason. The native of St. Louis questioned his father after his return if it was “the reason you stayed away?” He continued by claiming that his wife DeShawn had convinced him to accept the reality, saying:
When the family got back in touch with Daryl, he was married to a white man. However, the family gathering was brief because he passed away in 2015. Before his passing, he participated in a number of bodybuilding events, including the 2011 NPC Masters Nationals.
Because he was reared by his mother, Annita, Lavell has a special place in his heart for her. On social media, he routinely shares photos of her and describes himself as a “momma’s kid.”
In one instance, he wrote a piece in her honor on her birthday, August 20, 2020. She received a birthday greeting from him, and he thanked her for never abandoning him. Furthermore, he praised Jesus for giving him a “mother” like her.
