Jimmy Dean Crumley 67, of Cleveland, TN went home to be with his Heavenly Father on March 20, 2025.
Jimmy loved his family dearly. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and playing golf with his two boys. Most of all he loved singing and playing music with his boys, special friends and family, and his granddaughter. His granddaughter was the apple of his eye. He taught her to play the guitar and mandolin at a young age, and she loved sitting around picking with her papaw. Many summers were spent on his patio with his beloved friends and family picking music and eating his famous cheeseburgers. He also loved spending afternoons with his bonus grandchildren Elijah, Malachi, and Samuel, and his daughter-in-laws both named Kristy so Jimmy always referred to them as "Thing 1" and "Thing 2". He loved them both as if they were his own children. Jimmy loved the Lord with all his heart and was a wonderful teacher and guide.
Jimmy is preceded in death by his parents, Fred and Anna Lou Crumley, his five brothers, Terry, Freddy, Marvin, Tony, and Johnny Crumley, and his sister, Cathy Rogers.
He leaves behind to cherish his memory his loving wife of 50 years Cathie Crumley, his sons Dray and Josh Crumley, his daughter in laws Kristy and Christy Crumley, granddaughter Macayla Crumley Mcdade, grandson in law Zach Mcdade, step-grandsons Malachi and Elijah Chiolo, sister Carolyn Barrows, and several nieces, nephews, and extended family.
The family will be receiving friends from 5:00- 8:00pm on Tuesday, March 25, 2025 at Companion Funeral Home- The Ridge Sanctuary.
