Pat Crowley, who worked for 27 years as a journalist before founding public relations firm Strategic Advisers in 2009, died Saturday at the age of 63, according to a statement from his family.
“He was well known in the Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati community for his intelligence, humor and wit, compassion, work ethic, and abundant love of his dear family as well as the many cats and dogs that he and Pam rescued and cared for over the years,” the statement said.
Crowley is survived by his wife, Pam; daughter, Shayna; son, Connor, twin grandsons and a granddaughter.
Most of Crowley’s time as a journalist was spent at the Cincinnati Enquirer, where he covered Northern Kentucky and Frankfort.
In 2007, The Kentucky Press Association named him the state’s top columnist and his 2004 series on casino gambling earned state and national awards, according to the family statement. The Washington Post selected him as one of the country’s top political reporters and political bloggers.
“He touched many lives during his brilliant lifetime and he made those lives better because of his kindness, thoughtfulness, and friendship,” his family said in the statement.
Services have not yet been scheduled.
