Michael Barrett Crumpton

Michael Barrett Crumpton, born on October 29, 1979 in Greenwood, S.C. entered his eternal home on Thursday, June 11, 2026, at Agape Hospice House in Lexington after a long battle with ALS. He was the beloved son of Michael D. and Kitty Whitlock Crumpton.

Barrett was a shinning light in the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing him. His journey on this earth was one marked by love, compassion, and faith in God. His passing has left a void in the hearts of his family, friends, and many more whose lives were touched by him. We ask that you remember him not for the way his life ended, but for the way it was lived, and for the profound impact it had on the lives of those who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Barrett is survived by his loving parents, Barrett was the cherished grandson of Irene Crumpton of Saluda, SC. He also leaves behind aunts and uncles, Marvin and Evelyn Crumpton of Windsor, SC, Guy E. Rutland of Ridge Spring, SC, and Roger and LuVin McCoig of Trenton, SC. Also, best friends, Shari and Kevin McCall.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents Marvin L. Crumpton, Sr., Vernon Whitlock, and Connie Bodie Whitlock. Also, his loving aunt, Vonnie Whitlock Rutland and cousin, Crystal Michelle Crumpton.

After his graduation from W.W. King Academy, Barrett attended ITT Technical College in Greenville, SC with a degree in Multimedia and applied science, D.A.V.E school in Orlando Florida with a degree in digital animation, and Piedmont Technical College with a degree in multimedia.

Barrett was employed with Self Regional Healthcare IT Department until his ALS diagnosis disabled him.

Although Barrett's physical presence may no longer grace our lives, his spirit will continue to inspire and uplift us. May his memory be a blessing, and may we carry forth his legacy of love and compassion in all that we do. As you continue to worship Jesus up there, dear Barrett, your light will forever shine brightly in our hearts.
