Not sure what to say?

So often, when we stop at that STOP sign, we remember Craig, and how he was out and about his house so often. A new, very nice family lives there now, but they dont spend much time out front, so there is no one to wave to. And, we miss that. Hard to believe that two years have gone by since that terrible night.

It's hard to picture my kitchen with out Craig and all that happiness he bought into it. We as a family will keep him in our hearts and prayers forever. The love Craig that you showed family and friends was so huge. The loss of such a vibrant human can only be understood by those who knew him and meet him and loved him. Till we all meet again Craig (T&J) My deepest condolences to his family.

Looking in the obituaries and seeing an old friend from high school im at a lost for words. My thoughts and prayers to the Yelton family. Was thinking about you not too long ago. Kinda surreal. Rest easy Craig, you will be missed.

I went to Puma Community College with Craig We took classes together and helped each other make it through the class We were good friends and he will be missed

We are so deeply sorry for your completely tragic loss. My parents live nearby, in the same subdivision. I visit them weekly and often saw Craig's boat and work truck. For years, I've heard from them and other neighbors about how friendly and welcoming it was by Craig's house. As my husband is also a fisherman, it broke my heart about the tragedy, on so many different levels. Prayers for all of your family go out from ours.

Just about daily, we turn left at that corner to get to Broadway. Several times a month, for about seven years now, we would see this cheerful young man (with a cap on) waving to us. If he had his back to the street, he would turn around when he heard residents stop at the STOP sign. We would see him coming and going, sometimes with friends, sometimes alone, and always, ALWAYS , there was that friendly wave, and a huge smile. Sometimes, we saw him busy tinkering with his boat, his head...

I am so sorry for your loss. May you receive strength and comfort from God.He will make you firm, he will make you strong, he will firmly ground you

For the little boy who was part of our household many days of the week, who helped me bake cookies, who thought my cooking was wonderful when it absolutely wasn't, who watched movies with me on Sunday afternoons then rode with me back to Blockbuster just to keep me company, who helped me fold laundry and who talked with me - about so many things - his dreams, his goals, his life. This little boy made me laugh so hard when he was only 7 years old! His sense of humor was that of a 40 year old...

May God stay closer to your family and give you comfort and peace.
