Craig was the best dad/grandfather to Jayda and she loved him with all her heart. Along with Jayda, Craig’s girlfriend Cheryl, his daughter Cassie, and his two granddaughters Leah and Ellie were the light of his life. His girls. His nephew Mark was more of a brother, talking 2-3 times a day and sharing all of life’s adventures.

One of Craig’s favorite places to be was his place in Greenville, side by siding the trails or hanging out at the Stress Free Moose and Woody’s hanging with great friends. He will be missed by so many.
