Craig Lawrence Staples

Though we lost touch years ago, I will never forget our wonderful, caring, generous and dear friend. We were privileged to gladly welcome Craig as a member of our family during his years in So. Calif. Thank you, Craig, for all the joy you brought to me and to Elena and Lisa.

I have very fond memories of Craig when he came to visit us in San Francisco and then later up in Santa Rosa. I wish him a peaceful journey and love to all his family.

Dear, dear Craig,
You are truly a lifelong friend, always there with your laugh and sharp insights. Say hey to everyone over there in our eternal home. Sending love your way.

Craig was an amazng human being, who was cherished for his sense of humor and gentle heart. He has left a hole in our hearts, As his cousin I was blessed to have known him,and will miss him forever!! Love you Candy and family

I was a coworker with Craig and learned so much from him. He was a great gymnastics instructor... this is a loss for the sport of gymnastics as well as friends and family. Craig thank you for your mentoring!

May angels singing guide you to your perfect rest. Dear Craig, it's Lizzy, my heart is heavier today knowing that your soul left this planet. please look over those of us that are left behind with grace and love and know that we will join you soon.

I did not know Craig well however ironically a group of friends and I were discussing him on the day he died. He made such a positive impression on us with his performances as Snoopy and the Music Man at Bishop McGuinness High School. Little did he know that he had a fan club of adoring grade schoolers who loved watching him on stage!

I met Craig 26 years ago in Stillwater, Oklahoma. What an amazing soul he was, a giver, not a taker. Thank you Craig for sharing your spirit with us!

I worked with Craig for several years in Nashville. I will never forget his interesting stories and infectious laugh that always seem to spread through the office at just the right moment. I pray that he now finally has peace.
