Calven was the youngest of 4 children, growing up as the only boy in the family. He would attend school in Brock and Weatherford, before graduating from Weatherford High School. Calven had a heart for God. He was always active in his local church. He spent time in ministry in Weatherford, Kingsland and Grand Prairie (Gateway Grand Prairie, formerly Shady Grove) where he was part of the leadership team. He lead a home group and was available to assist wherever requested. He was a true "family man". Time spent hiking, attending Ranger baseball games and worshiping with family were all important to him. His sense of humor was unique, and telling "dad" jokes could easily describe him. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a sister, Audrey Park and his first wife, Jeanne Marie McKay McCrary.
