Steve moved to Colorado Springs, CO in 1985 to begin work at the Colorado School for the Deaf and Blind. There he stayed for 32 years until his retirement. He taught PE and loved being “Coach Crump”.

In 2015 he was awarded Assistant Wrestling Coach of the year at the Pepsi Center. He so loved each and every student that he worked with.
Steve never met a stranger and he could always identify a wrestler by looking at their ears! Always a quick smile and compassion for everyone. Steve, you made a difference in this world.
