Daryl CRAIG Obituary

CRAIG, Daryl R. It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our dearly beloved son and friend Daryl Russell Craig at the age of 45. On December 20, 2017 in a tragic accident, Daryl traveled to the Lord and was taken from us too soon. Daryl is survived by his loving family: parents Mel and Betty Craig (nee MacGregor), his wife and forever friend Paula Alves and Pandie Alves Craig, brother Brad (Shelley) Craig (nee Lampkin), two loving nieces Madelyn and goddaughter Annabelle. He will be missed by his daughter Sarah Bruner as well as all of his extended family and friends. May he rest in peace. The family will receive friends at the McBeath-Dynes Funeral Home, 246 Thames Street South, Ingersoll, 519-425-1600, on Thursday, December 28, 2017 from 6-8 p.m. The memorial service will take place at St. James Anglican Church, 184 Oxford Street, Ingersoll, on Friday, December 29, 2017 at 11 a.m., visiting will be held again one hour prior to service time. Cremation has taken place. If desired, contributions to the L'Arche Canada Foundation or the St. James Anglican Church would be appreciated. Personal condolences may be sent at www.gffh.ca "You never said I'm leaving, you never said goodbye. You were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why. A million times we needed you, a million times we cried. If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died. In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still. In our hearts you hold a place, that no one else could ever fill. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn't go alone. For a part of us went with you, the day god took you home. You Never said Goodbye" - author unknown

Dear Mel, Betty & family: We were not able to attend due to health issues but you have been in our hearts daily.To loose a child, brother and friend is unimaginable. May Jesus hold you daily while you heal as he gives strength to comprehend this tragic journey brought upon all in your family. I understand some of the people in Little Italy expressed kindness & warmth to you and yours. What goodness to receive in your time of need. Sincerely, Bev and Ralph

I heard the sad news about Daryl from some friends in Toronto over the holidays and wanted to express my condolences to his family and to all those who loved him. I knew Daryl only briefly but we did have a few opportunities to have some quite meaningful conversations. He was a very deep person with a kind and generous sole - passionate about his work/craft and of his family. I will miss those chats and will miss his presence. RIP Daryl.
