Steven Ray Crumpler

Steve graduated from the University of Arkansas with a degree in Information Systems and played on the Razorback Football team. He was a passionate Razorback fan his entire life. Soon after graduating, Steve began working at Walmart and did so for more than 30 years. He truly loved working for Walmart. Steve was also passionate about building his castle in Castle Cove on Beaver Lake for his wife Petra Katharina Crumpler. He was eagerly awaiting the birth of his first grandchild with all his heart.

Steve is the love of Petra’s life. He always told her in German: Ich liebe Dich immer (I will love you forever). And she will love him forever too. He had the best character and he was the most humble and loving man for Petra and his family.

Steve is survived by his wife Petra Katharina Crumpler of Garfield; daughter Heather Wilkerson and husband Drew (expecting Steve’s first grandchild Sept 24th) of San Francisco, Cal. and Heather’s mother Carol Meimerstorf; sons, Colt Crumpler of Texas, Cody Crumpler of Colorado; brothers Mark Anthony Crumpler and wife Alicia of Mobile, Ala., Michael Ray Crumpler and wife Kathey of Tumbling Shoals, Ark.; and sisters, Virginia Lynn Kelly of Rogers, and Cynthia Dianne Maupin of Heber Springs, Petra’s mother Ingrid Herbertz and her sister Anja Herbertz of Hilden, Germany.
