I met Elder Decker in the mission and he was nothing short of amazing the few times I met him he really shined above the rest with the way he carried himself and the desire to always keep fighting forward.

I did not know Craig, however I too felt the impact of the impressions he left with his desire to teach others and his obvious positivity, and willingness to serve Heavenly Father. Great loss changes your life, as I lost my husband 2 years ago- he was 29, I feel your pain.

Your family will be in my prayers. I pray that the rest of this lifes path will be well lit for your family, as sarrow sometimes makes things dark and it seems easier to get lost. Take care of...

To the entire Decker family:
I was fortunate to be able to teach many of you in my 7th grade G/T core at Joel P. Jensen Middle School.

Lyle, Marie & Family,
Just a note letting you of my thoughts being with you during your time of loss. I intended to come visit at the viewing but time did not allow. The memories of when I lived with mom & dad and of your family are many. hopefully your healing from your loss is full.

We are so sorry! We know your pain, but we also know of your faith and the great hope that come through our Savior. The Spirit has been and will be with you to buoy you up. May the Lord grant you His choicest blessings, now and always.

I knew Craig through high school. I talked to him a few times and his bright blue eyes and smile would capture anyone. He is going to be missed immensely. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
