Floyd Willard Crump was born on May 24, 1928, in Spanish Fork, Utah, to Bill and Maggie Crump. Floyd graduated from the University of Utah in 1959, with a Bachelor of Science in Metallurgical Engineering. After moving to Brigham City, Utah, Floyd began working for Thiokol as a rocket engineer. He then advanced to Ireco Chemicals engineering explosive manufacturing plants with assignments to countries all over the world, until safely retiring in the mid-1990’s.

Over six years, the couple welcomed three boys into their home and Floyd set about teaching them to follow their dreams and hearts. His children remember him as a kind, even keel kind of guy. Yet, at times, he was a driven father who encouraged them to pursue their goals with focus.

Floyd was accomplished at bronc riding and calf roping in his youth. He served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Holland. Then, he served our country, during the Korean War, in Army Military Intelligence at Fort Bragg. His greatest passion was multi-day motorcycle trips, no matter how hot the weather (like Death Valley hot!). In his retired years, Floyd enjoyed learning computer science and then voluntarily sharing his new knowledge, teaching computer classes at the Senior Center.

Two viewings will be held at the Walker Funeral Home in Spanish Fork, Utah, starting on Friday night September 25, 2020, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.; and, Saturday morning, September 26, 2020, from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Graveside service will then be held, with Military Honors, at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, in the Spanish Fork, Utah, City Cemetery.
