Crystal Ann Dawe Pickard, 40, of Taylor, Michigan, passed away on October 3, 2025. Born in Fremont, Michigan, on November 12, 1984, Crystal lived her life with spirit, strength, and an unstoppable spark that touched everyone who knew her. Crystal was a force of nature—spunky, wild, and always smiling. She had a heart as big as her laugh and a personality that lit up every room she walked into. She was caring, incredibly smart, funny, a little hard-headed, and fiercely loyal to those she loved.

Crystal's radiant smile and vibrant spirit lit up every room she entered. She had a way of making people feel seen, loved, and welcomed—just by being herself. Her presence was magnetic, and her energy unforgettable. One of Crystal's greatest joys in life was riding motorcycles—she found freedom on the open road and a deep sense of connection to the world around her. But above all else, she was most proud of her children. Her biggest accomplishment, as she would proudly say, was raising her beautiful children and watching them grow. She is survived by her children, Raif Vanover and Nevyn Pickard; her beloved grandchild, Espn Garland; her brother, Adam Dawe and loving husband Thomas Riedel. Her love for her family was boundless and unconditional, and she carried them in her heart every moment of every day. Crystal's spirit, laughter, and love will live on through the lives she touched. She will be deeply missed but never forgotten. Details for a memorial service will be shared with family and friends.
