Lauren Denee Middleton

Lauren Denee Middleton (our Shoogie) was our beautiful daughter. She was the youngest sibling to Stephanie and David (DJ). She was crazy about her two dogs- Blue and Lucas (Luke). Lauren was blessed to find her soulmate and the love of her life- Wade Crocker, 5 years ago. These last 5 years were the happiest of her life. Shoogie and Wade enjoyed traveling and made their way to their favorite destinations in the Bahamas and Las Vegas, each and every year. With Wade, Lauren became a big fan of UFC Fights and almost all sports- especially the Tampa Bay Lightning and country music. She loved spending time with her family and sitting outside by fire drinking her favorite Malibu and diet. Shoogie worked for College Hunks Hauling Junk Movers and was in charge of cultivating the outstanding culture they now enjoy. Our beautiful daughter was loved by everyone she met or came across, including people that only had the pleasure of meeting her once. Her laugh was infectious. Her sense of humor was so unique. She was always known as “the voice of reason” to her sister, brother and parents- for her intellect and unmatched sense of responsibility. She was the guiding light in all of her loved ones lives. No matter the obstacle, Shoogie always offered the best advice on how to overcome it. In these painful times, Shoogies presence is what we will lean on to help carry us through the remainder of our lives. To say she will be missed will be an understatement- and to those who knew Shoogie- you know exactly what we mean. Our lives will never be the same without her- but the memory of her smile and of her laugh is what we will keep with us for the rest of our lives. We love you Lauren. Always and Forever.
