Tyrus "Tu" Crump

Tyrus "Tu" Draper Crump Sr. was born on August 2, 1976 to Elaine Marcia Crump and Frank Jones, in New Orleans, La. As a young boy, Tyrus was a "Mama's Boy," always wanting to partake in everything his mom had or did. Whatever she had, he wanted it too (this is how he got the nickname Tu). As an adolescent, Tyrus enjoyed playing sports and learning new things. He always had a sharp mind; a great thinker and problem solver, often taking things apart in order to see how they worked, and putting them back together afterwards. Tyrus graduated from John McDonogh High School in New Orleans, LA. He received his Certification in Massage Therapy at Blue Cliff College in Lafayette, La. Tyrus also received his NDT Certification at Gulf America Wire Rope Company in Broussard, La. He lived his early adult life in New Orleans. Throughout his life, he also resided in Atlanta, Ga., Houston, TX, and of course, Lafayette, La, where he and his wife would build a life and raise their children. Tyrus achieved many accomplishments during his life, both personal and professional. He persevered by overcoming adversity and defying the odds. He became a man of purpose, dedication and drive...God-fearing and family oriented. His family was his everything! Tyrus leaves to cherish his memories his beloved wife of 18 years, Tynesia Robinson Crump; His beloved mother, Elaine Marcia Crump; 8 Children: Tyrian Dolliole, Tyrus D. Crump Jr., Abbi Davis, Love'Li Goodman, Shani Robinson, Ty Crump, Tay' Lee Crump, and Trinity Crump; granddaughter, Mylah; his brothers, Terry Reed, Eugene Matthews Jr., and Kenneth Crump; and a host of family and friends. He was preceded in death by his father, Frank Jones and his grandmother, Joan Faye Crump. ________________________________________ "To our beloved Tyrus, we love you dearly, but God loves you more.
