Gerald "Jerry" L. Crump's Obituary
Gerald "Jerry" L. Crump passed away at his residence in Lake Mary, Florida on Tuesday, August 4, 2020 at the age of 87. He departed this earth peacefully in his sleep to be with the Lord in Heaven.
Jerry was born on January 13, 1933 in Lenoir, North Carolina. He met and fell in love with his wife, Judy, while attending high school in Asheville, North Carolina. After graduating high school, he joined the United States Air Force. Judy and Jerry were married a short time later in Gaffney, South Carolina on January 10, 1953. Judy traveled with him during his tour in the Air Force to Mississippi, Washington, and Alaska. Upon completion of his service, the couple moved to Florida and started their family. Jerry owned a TV sales and service business in South Florida and later continued to work as a TV repairman in Ocala, Florida until he retired. After retiring they split their time between homes on the east coast of Florida and the North Georgia mountains. They also spent time traveling around the country in their RV.
Jerry was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. He adored his wife and loved his family deeply. He liked cars, playing golf, and watching football. But most of all he enjoyed spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren. In his last conversation with his daughters he said he wanted more than anything for his family to be together. He will always be remembered by his family, friends, and others that knew him as a sweet, thoughtful, and caring man.
Jerry is survived by his wife of 67 years, Judith "Judy" (Roberts) Crump of Lake Mary, Florida; three children David F. Crump, Carole E. Edstrom (Filip) of Apopka, Florida and Leigh E. Crump of Lakeland, Florida; four grandchildren Courtney Salcedo (Juan), Tiffany Crump, Nicole Crump and Robert Edstrom; one great-grandchild Marcus Salcedo. He was preceded in death by his parents Harvey L. Crump and Gladys (Hood) Crump, and his sister Sarah (Crump) Kilbey.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, a celebration of life gathering will be held for friends and family at a later time.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions be made in Jerry's honor to the Alzheimer's Association at:
