Fescloe Crumby Jr. was born on July 31, 1953, in Thomasville, GA, to the late Fescloe and Doris Crumby Sr. He later moved to Tampa, FL, where he graduated from Hillsborough High School. Shortly after, he began a long and fulfilling career at Tampa Electric Company (TECO), where he served in various positions for over 30 years at the Gannon and Big Ben locations before retiring.
Fescloe was a devoted husband, father, and family man, cherished by his loving wife, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, siblings, and countless others. Family was his highest priority, and he inspired those around him through love, kindness, sincerity, and honest guidance. He encouraged his loved ones to strive for their best, to pray, and to persevere through life's challenges. Known as the "family dad" to many, Fescloe played an integral role in all of their lives.
Affectionately nicknamed "Bone," he had a passion for seafood and enjoyed dining out. He loved antique cars, and raising dogs, and was an avid sports fan and Western movie enthusiast. Fescloe took pride in celebrating the accomplishments of his children, nieces, and nephews using their successes as motivation for others to pursue their improvements.
In loving memory, we celebrate a life that touched many hearts. Though he has departed from this world, his spirit will continue to live on in the cherished memories we hold, the lessons he taught us, and the love he shared. While we mourn his absence, we find solace in the enduring legacy he leaves behind-a testament to a well-lived life. He will forever remain in our hearts, guiding us with his wisdom and embracing us with the warmth of his spirit. Your light will always shine brightly in our lives. Rest in Peace, we love you.
