I just saw the show where MH tells of Craig´s passing. My deepest condolences to his family and friends. From what I saw of him on the show, he was a man dedicated to his job, did it right, and so enjoyed passing information on to those who wanted to learn more about his trade. A true professional.

I have many good memories of watching Craig paint on different projects for Mike Holmes. Once he duct taped two empty paint buckets to his shoes so he could reach the high areas of a room which cracked me up because I'm only 5'2" tall. Genius! Another story of appreciation is when he explained how to correctly apply paint to window trim and then properly 'lay' it down to prevent brush strokes. He truly loved his work and it showed. Unknowingly, he was teaching us his trade. I will always appreciate him.

just recently learned of Craig passing. I was a fan of all of Mike Holmes shows and enjoyed Craig as the painter.
He explained and made me more aware and better at doing it as a DIY.
My condolences to his family.
Sorry i learned about it so late.

Still missing you Craig! Loved your work... and you were a cutie! You did superior work and I haven't seen anyone do it that well in my area (MD) or since your untimely passing on Holmes Makes it right! It was so clever of you to use the empty buckets taped to your shoes to gain height for your higher jobs...hummm maybe I'll finally try that...maybe...maybe not!
Hope the wife and kids are doing ok and your memories are living on with them all! God bless your entire Family.

You can tell by his work and presence on Holmes shows that Craig was an expert painter, a professional worker, an educator and a wonderful person. I will always remember that to stain you can open the wood with water, that green tape should have a light coat first to seal the tape before a thicker coat and remove the tape wet and to consider standing doors in a spare room with a small piece of wood supporting them accordion-style to spray them... I will always think of Craig as I refer to his advice and teaching. I am not ashamed to relay that I cried when he passed. Bye Craig... may your family take solace that you will be remembered.

I watch him on Holmes make it right on many episodes! I'm 66 and remember how much fun life is. I also loved water, work and life in general! I didn't see this til tonight on episode 2/15 of Holmes right. Many prayers for his wife and kids and especially Mike. I know y'all miss him! From Mississippi!!! Bill Cornelius

Just learned of the passing of Craig Lowe from watching an episode of "Holmes Makes it Right." You can tell from watching him that he was passionate about his work. He was so gentle and seemed so kind. I always enjoyed watching him work. My heart was truly touched to learn of his passing. So sorry for his family. I will miss seeing him on Mike's shows.

Just saw rerun of episode in memory of Craig Lowe. He was such a great talent, so passionate about his work. You could tell he really cared. Loved the fireplace he revamped with a tinting product, so beautiful. He was a joy to watch and learn from. Like all who work with Mike Holmes. Such integrity. Sadden to learn of his passing, he had so much more to contribute. So sorry for your loss. He was certainly a person who did his family proud. My sympathies to his wife, children and friends.

Just watched a Holmes Makes It Right episode that was dedicated to Craig. I watch the show all the time and Craig's face and job as the "Painter" always stood out. I remember when I first watched this show in 2012 and the first thing I noticed was Craig the "Cute Guy", I said, "Ohhhh, he's a cutie!" :). The world is a much lonelier and sadder place without Craig. My condolences goes out to Craig's wife and children, MH and friends. Craig is now painting the LORD's home now and explaining to Jesus how important it is to prime then paint. Your absence is noticed. You are missed. MUCH LOVE!

Just saw MH referring to Craig's passing. I am still in shock. Craig was obviously such a talented painter, and his openness and trustworthy nature shined through.
Of all the painters I have noted, Craig was and is Tops.
He will be missed for sure.
Gods Blessings on his Family.

Just saw the Holmes program in which Mike told of Craig's passing. My wife, Paulette and I are deeply sorry for his passing. Our deepest sympathy to his family and friends. We really enjoyed his innovative painting and attention to detail. He made painting an art form and fun to do. His presence on the program will be deeply missed.

Mike Holmes always had the best people who were reliable, honest, trustworthy, had integrity, and cared about the quality of their work !!! Watching Mikes many shows of Craig's painting work, his tips and comments, and work style I could see why Mike enjoyed working with Craig.... I always enjoyed watching Craig paint and admired his work as Mike explained what was done to the homes he worked on and WHO got the credit for the work done inside or outside. As a handyman here in Florida, I saw the exquisite and marvelous paint jobs done by Craig, a master painter who put his heart and soul into his work !!! The world will not forget Craig Lowe, his legacy will live on forever !!! My condolence to the family.

Watched the very end of a episode I have seen before but obvious not the closing credits. I was deeply saddened to learn of Graig's death. Ironically I was painting while listening to the program and was brought to tears. I have picked up many tips from Graig over the years watching "Holmes on Homes", and I will miss him. Graig was truly an artist.

So very shocked to see the dedication to Craig after the Holmes on Holmes show run last night- more so that it was almost a year ago! Never knew this man- but having him make painting seem so effortless in our living room for so many years on the TV show makes you feel as though you do know them... He seemed so kind and dedicated to his work. My deepest sympathies to his family and friends I am sure the past year has been a difficult one... I hope that they hold his memory close in their hearts and it gives them strength when they need it the most. All good wishes...

I just watched the Holmes show last night which was dedicated to Craig Lowe. To say I was shocked and saddened by this news is to say the least. I only knew him through the show but he really made an impression on me as a decent guy. It's funny how this part of his personality came through so strongly through a television program. I had always wished that I could have met him in person. My heartfelt condolences to his wife and children and also to the Holmes crew who clearly were family to him as well.

To the Family, Friends and Crew of Craig:
Like so many I came to love Craig on the H on H show; his gentle spirit, humble demeanor and love for expertise surely came through. "Good man Craig!" is what I'd always say to him when watching the show and now I know without a doubt it's true. I'll be praying for you all for this great loss (but the Lord's gain to have Craig home with him). Know that I and my family grieve with you even though we didn't know him personally. I leave you all with these words from Jesus the Christ; "blessed are those who mourn for they will be comforted." Mt 5:4 I trust you're leaning on Him.

It's strange how the life of a stranger can mean so much to us. Of course we never met Craig, we only saw the work he had done on the Holmes shows. And yet he touched us. Perhaps because we have done quite a bit of home work, including painting, that we felt a close kinship. We loved his passion and dedication to excellence. In fact my Wife always joked about she would love to have Craig over to help us do just one more paint job. We just discovered his passing and we would like to share our deepest condolences to Craig's family and friends. We will miss seeing him and watching him make that perfect cut in to the ceiling. Rest in Peace...

I have watched the Holmes on Home show for quite a few years. I DVR most of them and just found out that Craig had passed away. I have watched Craig on these episodes, and as many other folks have said, I am a much better painter for having known him. My thoughts go out to his family and I hope that they know they were loved by their Dad/Husband. I appreciate what Craig has done and I will miss watching his expertise and comraderie.

I was very shocked to hear of Craig's passing. Very very saddened. I found Craig through the show and he did numerous painting jobs for us. His personality is the just like the one you see on tv- very professional, thoughtful, energetic, kind. He always helped and encouraged others. Spoke highly of his family and his adventures. I'm glad he was doing something he loved to do. God bless to his family.

I did not know Craig personally but I watch him for years on Mike Holmes programs. He was very knowledgeable and friendly and was there to help everyone who needed his help. He explained his craft so a layperson like myself felt that they could pick up a paint brush and accomplish the end result they are looking for.
My heart go out to his family and friends I am so sorry for your loss. May God and His Angles watch over you and your loved one and know that Craig is there with them. God Bless.

I just learned about Craig's passing. It wasn't but few months ago, as I was painting the exterior of my house, that I remembered what Craig had said on many Holmes episodes. Using his knowledge I was able to get the job done the right way. I will miss his insight and professionalism. My heartfelt condolences to his family

My husband and I so enjoyed Craig whenever he appeared on Holmes' shows. We are also scuba divers who dove extensively while living in Hawaii for many years. It was a dream come true as we were educated on Jaques Cousteau's dive shows, which was the reason we became divers. The seas are truly Blessed by God. May God Bless Craig, his wife, and his children.

This came as a surprise to me as I've watched the different Holmes series for years and you almost feel like you get to know the regular contractors. I don't like painting and one time I told my wife while watching him, "He must really love painting to do it for a living and do it so well". You could tell he did.
I'm very sorry for your loss. May God bless you and yours and may Craig have peace with Our Father.

I can't tell you how often I'd see Craig on tv and be scanning around to see if you were helping him out that day.

There will be some tough days ahead of you...you and your family are in my prayers Kristi! xo

Watching a recording of Holmes on Homes last night and at the end of the segment, I was shocked to see that the show was dedicated to Craig. I always enjoyed watching the short times he was shown, and how well he painted. I told my husband that it would be nice to hire him, no matter what it cost. We live in Sherwood Park, just outside of Edmonton, Alberta. I know we will miss seeing him on the show, my heart goes out to his family's. So very sorry for your loss, he was gone much too soon. With sincere sadness, Jen and Tem, avid viewers of the renos.

I have been a "frequent watcher" of the Mike Holmes show, and have followed Craig's helpful hints and welcomed shortcuts to increase my limited painting skills. Learning from someone who loves what he does, takes much of the anxiety away when shown just how easy it COULD be and Craig was a pleasure of watch and learn from. I am sooo very sorry that we was taken too early from his family and his friends. I will miss not seeing his quiet gentle smile when I turn on the TV to watch future shows. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.
May his memories give you strength to enter the future without him and eventually give give you comfort.

What a truly great legacy he leaves for his family and friends. Sincere sympathies to you all and I know he is and will always be watching over you all
