Larry Adam Crump, beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, passed away on June 9, 2024, in New Plymouth, ID, after a courageous battle with Multiple Myeloma Bone Cancer. He was born on December 3, 1939, in Bridgeport, IL, to Otto Vester Sr. Crump and Hattie Alice (Croman) Crump.
Larry was a devoted husband to his late wife, Elizabeth Crump, whom he married on November 29, 1957. They shared 55 beautiful years together until her passing in 2013. Larry was a loving and dedicated father to his children: Joseph and Tina (Elias) Crump of Seward, AK, Cora (Crump) and Tony Kurth of New Plymouth, ID, and Ronald Crump and David Lilya of Boise, ID.
He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by his grandchildren: Jacob and Kara Kurth of Richmond, UT, Justin Kurth and Buzz of Caldwell, ID, Joshua Kurth of New Plymouth, ID, Harley, Baron, and Terry Crump of Seward, AK, as well as his great-grandchildren, Avery and Weston Kurth of Richmond, UT. And his last remaining sibling LuaAnn Bulter of Lewiston, ID.
Larry had a fulfilling career, working as a Sawyer at Boise Cascade for 21 years and later as a Mechanical Engineer at Ore-Ida Foods for 25 years. He was a proud member of the NRA, a lifetime member of the Rocky Mountain Elk Federation and enjoyed hobbies such as camping, hunting, attending gun shows, gambling, eating pancakes and starting his day with a cup of coffee with a heavy pour of Baileys Irish Cream and later in the day, Crown Royal Black Whiskey, a cigar, and a dip of chew.
Known for his signature cowboy attire, Larry always dressed in his cowboy boots, hat, belt, buckle, leather suspenders, wrangler jeans, and a crisp button-down shirt. He was a friendly and caring man who loved meeting new people at the local coffee shop. Larry will be remembered as a loving father and a loyal friend to many.
Larry was preceded in death by his parents, Otto Vester Sr. Crump and Hattie Alice (Croman) Crump, as well as his siblings: Otto Jr. Crump, Betty Wolfe, Rudy Crump, Barbara Raichart, Juanita Pepple, Winona Alspach, Roy Robert Crump, William Paul Crump, and Alice Eberhart.
In his memory, donations can be made to the Angel Wings Network, Inc., based in Weiser, ID. A special thank you goes out to the amazing Doctors and Nurses at St. Alphonsus Cancer Care unit in Ontario, Oregon, for their compassionate care and support.
A funeral service to honor Larry’s life will be held at 1pm on June 17, 2024, at Bowman Funeral Chapel in Garden City, ID. A public viewing will be held starting at 12pm. His legacy of love and kindness will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew him.
