Not sure what to say?

Craig, Sorry I waited so long to write this.... I can´t say for certain if it was because I couldn´t find any words at the time or, if I was unaware of this venue. regardless.... Since the first time I met you, your attitude, demeanor, and personality, was always one of a good friend. Always smiling, happy and positive. I can´t think of a single memory that was not filled with the making of a lasting friendship. Although I didn´t know everybody in your life, I am positive everybody in...

Craig was one of the good ones, and I am gald to have known him.

Craig had a contagious smile and warm disposition. As a younger fraternity brother, I saw Craig as someone whom I not only admired but wanted to be like. He was always so self-confident that lead to him being supportive and caring for others. I remember playing midnight football on the Love Library front lawn. It was Craig who first sought me out to play with the older brothers. Not because I had something to bring to the game but because he was just that thoughtful as he knew I was new...

One of my fondest memories of Craig is when I went over to his house before our friends arrived for a get-together and we talked for a long time. My impression of him that night was that he is very sweet person and accepting of others. May you find your peace, my friend.
My prayers are with you, Alicia, your children and Craig's mom and sister.

We were saddened to hear of Craig's death. Know that you are all in our daily thoughts and prayers. We wish you God's peace and comfort.

As I think of Craig, I am reminded of his brilliant smile and charm. He was so charismatic and easy to talk to. I just loved that about him.

My prayers will be with his entire family as they sort through this extremely difficult time; and may they focus on the good times and love shared.
My deepest condolences,

I feel very blessed to have been friends with Craig for the past 6-7 years. I can remember all the fun times & nights spent watching UFC fights over at our house. Craig was always smiling & had way of cheering me up if I was ever feeling down. I'll always remember him saying he was losing "pole position" if it seemed like I was growing closer to any of the other guys in our group of friends. I will always cherish the special bond that we had.

To Craigs family, Alicia, Avery &...

Craig will be missed dearly, our deepest sympathy to the family. Craig is a fraternity brother and basically took me in when I first moved to KC. My closest friends to this day I met because of Craig. He was one of the most compassionate, kind hearted people that I will ever have the pleasure and honor to have known.

The Olson family will be in my prayers. Craig was one of the most loving people I have ever met. I will miss him dearly. My father always spoke well of him and said how much he enjoyed working with someone so positive and enthusiastic.
