James Lumpp Obituary
Born in Scottsdale, Arizona, to Stanley and Virginia Lumpp, James built a successful career as a public accountant, taking great pride in establishing and running his own practice.
Outside of his professional life, James found his true joy in the world of motorsports. He possessed a deep passion for motorcycles and flat track racing, drawn to the speed, skill, and camaraderie that defined the sport. The Indianapolis 500 held a special place in his heart; he made it a point to attend whenever possible, soaking in the roar of the engines and the electric atmosphere of race day. Whether riding his own motorcycle or watching from the infield at the Brickyard, James was happiest when the nitromethane was burning and the wheels were turning.
James was preceded in death by his parents, Stanley and Virginia Lumpp; his brothers, Stanley Jr. and Michael; and his sister, Elizabeth.
He is survived by his two sons, Dana Lumpp of Nicholasville, Kentucky and James Lumpp Jr. of Georgetown, Kentucky.
