My friend and colleague Jaime Crowley has passed away. I cannot express how much I admired his leadership, his passion for his profession, and his compassion for kids in need. The world has lost a spirit that can never be replaced. May he RIP. @RIASPleads

Crowley received a blood marrow transfusion after finding a matching donor at a drive in 2016.
Donald Rebello, Executive Director of the Rhode Island Association of School Principals, said in a tweet, “I cannot express how much I admired his leadership, his passion for his profession, and his compassion for kids in need”.
Rebello said “The world has lost a spirit that can never be replaced.”
Friends of the Crowley Family said funeral services will be held Wednesday at St. Mary’s Church in Newport.
