Orvil “Big O” Wayne Crum, 75, of Burnsville, MS passed away on Monday, August 31, 2020 at Magnolia Regional Health Center in Corinth. Orvil was a truck driver by trade but his dream was to open his own restaurant, which he was in the process of doing when he got sick. He also enjoyed riding around, going to horse shows, eating, and telling stories to anyone who would listen.

He is survived by his wife, Helen Crum; his daughters, Andrea Deaton (Justin) and Melissa Hall (James); his son, David Crum (Carol); his grandchildren, Jace Deaton, Jeremiah Richard Deaton, Lily Hall, and John Hall; his friends who were like brothers, Rodney Little and Reggie Little; and a host of nieces, nephews, and other friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, Lonzo and Dovie Glisson Crum; his brothers, Troy Crum, JB Crum, Ray Crum, Doc Crum, and Russell Crum; and two infant sisters, Janie B. Crum and Jewel Crum.
