Cullen Crowley, the 25-year-old son of former New York Congressman Joe Crowley, passed away from desmoplastic small round cell tumors, a rare cancer. Diagnosed shortly after graduating from the Naval Academy, Cullen, a Marine, showed great resilience during his fight with cancer, which included extensive surgery. Joe Crowley shared heartfelt memories of his son, emphasizing Cullen's infectious spirit and strength throughout his illness. Despite his diagnosis, Cullen put his military service first and retired from the Marines last year as a first lieutenant. His passing leaves a profound impact on his family and community.
"When we think of Cullen, we can't help but smile. He radiated an infectious and genuine love of life - one that lifted the spirits of everyone around him."
"He stayed strong throughout - just as he has since his diagnosis. He's a Marine after all."
