CRAIG NEWBERN Obituary

Craig Allen Newbern It is with great sorrow we report Craig Newbern passed away in Tacoma, WA, on October 11, 2014. He was born on February 10, 1975 in Oakland, California. Moving to Washington at a young age, Craig developed many lasting bonds. After serving in the U.S. Marine Corps and working in different locations in the Midwest and Northeast, he returned to Tacoma to be with his friends. In his short life, he touched so many. He was a kind and loving person, never hesitating to answer a request for a favor or assistance. He sought out those that felt excluded and made sure they knew someone cared about them. He will always be remembered as family to everyone. Lil' Face will miss her Uncle Craig. He is survived by his children Reese and Senah, his mother Sharon, brothers Richard and Chris, and his "family:" Lisa, CJ, Corey, Kylee, and Lil' Face. Friends will gather to remember Craig on Sunday, October 26, at 3 p.m. at the VFW Lodge 10018, 4741 N. Baltimore in Tacoma. "Love you, Craig."

Craig many years have gone by but I will always remember when my sister Lisa,Corey,Darryl(Doe-Doe),myself,my husband Gary and Kylee about 3yrs old running around we played this Trivia board game that you made us laugh every single freakin time! Whenever Gary would tell everyone the right answer you would always say, "That's it, I knew if I said that I would of won and got it." makes me smile every time I think of that. You always had a smile on your face...... and you may be gone but you will never be forgotten......RIP Craig
