Brian Crump's Obituary
Brian Crump, 53, of Albemarle, passed away on Friday, August 1, 2025. A Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date.
Born in Montgomery County on March 2, 1972, Brian was the beloved son of Paul and Rebecca Crump of Mt. Gilead, NC. A man of unwavering devotion to his family and community, Brian lived a life marked by generosity, kindness, and quiet strength.
He is survived by his loving wife of 34 years, Christina Crump, with whom he built a life full of love, laughter, and purpose. He was a proud and devoted father to Jesse Crump and Justin Crump (Elena), and a cherished brother to Brandon Crump (Tammy). He is also survived by in-laws Jesse Kincaid of Newark, DE, and Doisha Kincaid of Troy, NC. Brian also leaves behind many nieces and nephews who adored him and will carry his memory forward with pride.
Brian was the embodiment of the "All-American Dad", he loved coaching, especially baseball, for his sons and countless other young athletes, always leading with encouragement and heart. Whether tending to his chickens (especially his favorite, “Lightning”), working in his garden, hunting, fishing, or soaking up the sun at the beach, Brian found joy in the simple pleasures of life and the great outdoors.
A natural teacher and mentor, Brian served as a dedicated instructor for Stanly Community College whose compassion and guidance left lasting impressions on many lives. His selflessness, patience, and quiet leadership made him a source of comfort and strength to all who knew him.
Above all, Brian was a loving husband, father, son, brother, and friend. He lived life fully and gave wholeheartedly, always putting others before himself. His legacy will live on through the lives he touched, the family he cherished, and the values he modeled every day.
Stanly Funeral and Cremation Care of Albemarle is serving the Crump family.
