Marcus Vernon Crump, the son of the late Evelyn Spinks McLendon, was born October 11, 1966, in Asheboro, NC. He departed this life on April 11, 2025, in Salisbury, NC. After graduating from Asheboro High School, he joined the United States Army, where he proudly served. Upon completing his tour of duty, he moved to St. Michael, MN. There, he established Crump Love Trucking Company. He took great pride in running his business until his health declined. He then returned to North Carolina. He enjoyed fishing, golf, and reconnecting with his old friends. He especially looked forward to frequent phone time with two army buddies, Willis Harris and Michael Grimes. His mother and one brother, Terry Spinks II, preceded him in death. His three children, Dontae Toliver, Taadamika Crump and Marcus Crump Jr.; one brother, Rodney Tillman (Sharron); two sisters, Anissa Spinks and Sonya Spinks; five aunts, Candy Tillman, Jane Patterson (Earl), Marie Belle, Rebecca Ross and Patricia Covington; one uncle, William Spinks; several grandchildren and a host of other relatives and friends will truly miss Marcus.
