WALLACE — Junior “Blue” Croom, 32, left this earthly life for his eternal rest Friday, Sept. 29, 2017.
Born on Nov. 4, 1984, in Duplin County. He was the son of Roger Lee Croom Sr. of Spokane, Wash., and Pam Rivenbark Register, and her husband, Ray, of Wallace.
He was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, Edward Carraway; paternal grandparents, Lawrence and Elizabeth Croom; and step-grandfather, Billy Register.

Junior or “Blue,” as he was affectionately called, was a fun-loving, young man who loved life and had a heart of gold. He enjoyed fast cars, four-wheeling, motorcycles and drag racing. With a friendly personality and witty spirit, Blue was a joy to be around. He loved to play jokes and was a great prankster to his family and friends. He enjoyed being outside, working in the yard and building things.
Blue will surely be missed, but treasured memories will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and love him.
Funeral services will be held at noon, Thursday, Oct. 5, at Quinn-McGowen Funeral Home, Wallace Chapel, with the Rev. Jimmy Johnson officiating.
