Anthony John Klumpp III

Anthony John Klumpp III died on May 27, 2020 from complications of lung cancer. He was at his home in Daphne, AL surrounded by family. He was born on July 22, 1951 in Mobile, AL. He grew up in Fairhope until his family moved to Fort Walton Beach, FL when he was nine years old. He graduated from Choctawhatchee High School in 1969, and went on to the University of Florida, where he received his Bachelor of Science degree in Building Construction in 1974. In 1975, he started his lifelong career at Lord & Son Construction as a Project Manager. Teaming with Leven Lord, and his wife Gail, in their garage, John was an integral part of building the company to the prominent design-build firm that it is today. He truly loved his work and his work family. John married his first love, Donna Fitch, and they welcomed their daughter, Amanda (Mandy) in 1980. John found love again and married Faye Dickey in 1997. They enjoyed their Sunday evening cookouts with the Snake Pit gang, and their annual trips to NOLA and the Bay Breeze in Fairhope with their close group of friends. They enjoyed their blended family of children and grandchildren in Fort Walton Beach for many years. John enjoyed boating, golfing, and watching his beloved Gators in his “man cave” on the back porch. He also enjoyed smoking meat on his Big Green Egg, and he was famous for his Boston butts. He retired from his 41-year construction career in 2016. In 2018, John & Faye moved to Daphne, AL to be closer to their grandsons, Tyler and Trevor. John was a proud Pop; he loved nothing more than watching Tyler on the mound, and Trevor on the court. John was especially happy to be back near his roots in Fairhope with his double first cousins, Fran, George, and Biff. John will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him. He was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph and Nadine Elias, and his sister Janay Hodgins. He is survived by his wife of 23 years, Faye; his children, Mandy Gros (Dave), Michelle McCann (Mark), Matt Kierce; grandchildren, Tyler and Trevor Gros; sister, Michele Burns (Dave); brother Phillip Klumpp (Robyn); first wife Donna Klumpp; and many beloved cousins, nieces, and nephews. A celebration of John’s life will be held at his sister’s house at 519 Massachusetts Avenue in Fort Walton Beach on Saturday, June 6th. Friends and family are welcome to stop by at any time between the hours of 2 – 5 PM. In honor of John’s passion for football, wear your team colors. Arrangements are entrusted to Cason Funeral Service in Foley Alabama
