Danny Crump Obituary

Monroe, NC –Danny Lee Crump, age 61, passed away as a result of natural causes on July 27th, 2018 at his home. Known faithfully as "The Magnate of Paint", Mr. Crump spent many years of his life enriching the lives of others, one coat at a time. Dedicated, hardworking, and, his love of his coca cola, Danny was a 'super-connector' – introducing friends to friends and generally making the world a far better place to live.

If not engaged with a Christmas Hallmark movie, he could often be found at dirt track races, working outside on his small engine equipment and his vehicles – notably using up three parking spaces to protect his Roush Ford truck that was his next true love besides his wife. He knew who he was as a man and stayed forever true to his roots.

To see Danny's legacy is easy. It's in the eyes of his loving wife, Mary Jane. She always appreciated the fact the man could simply fix any engine or item put before him and this included life's many twists. His legacy is also painted upon the lives of his children: Amy Storch (and husband David Storch), Jessica Magliocca, Daniel Crump (and wife Maura Crump), and Emily Crump.

Each learned from Danny the importance of a good sense of humor, how to negotiate a used car salesman to the point of free oil changes for life and being loyal to those you love. This legacy is now being faithfully passed along to each of Danny's 11 grandchildren who he cherished so much. Danny was a true example of what a family man should be, and he was an amazing husband, father, grandfather and friend.
