SMART-TD is mourning the tragic loss of Brother Steven “Baby Crowe” Crowe II, who was killed on the job on December 3. Because the situation is an active National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigation, our ability to comment on the circumstances is limited.
We can share that Steven was a beloved member of Local 1422 (Los Angeles, CA) who hired on with Union Pacific in 2014. He was proud to follow in the railroading footsteps of his father, Steven Crowe, Sr. (Local 1846, West Colton, CA).
Whether you knew him as “Baby Crowe,” “Birdie,” or “Brother Steve,” Steven touched many lives and embodied what it means to be a true union brother. If you are able to help his family navigate his sudden passing, please consider donating to his GoFundMe by clicking the link below or scanning the QR code.

A “Clamper” with Diverse Interests and Passions
“Steven was a wonderful union brother and friend to many in the crew rooms of Southern California, Yermo, California, and Yuma, Arizona,” reflected LCA 887B Local Chairperson Anthony Ray. “He will be missed dearly.”
A warm and magnetic soul with a gift for storytelling (even if some of those stories went on a little too long), Steven also loved punk music, spending time in nature and fellowship with those who were most important to him.
He was especially proud to be a “Clamper” with the Honorable Order of E Clampus Vitus (ECV), a historic fraternity whose unique blend of absurdist fun and deep commitment to brotherhood spoke to Steven on a deeper level.
Steven is survived by his wife, Theresa, three children (Dylan, Braden, and Makensie), his father, Steve Crow, Sr., his stepmother, Elizabeth “Beth” Crowe, his mother Joni, his sisters and extended family.
Please Help if You Can
SMART news will share details about Steven’s Celebration of Life that’s planned for after the holidays when they become available.
Thank you for honoring Steven’s family with the same kindness that he showed toward his union family.
