Jon L. Craig

I was sorry to read that Jon had passed on. I have fond memories of him from Berkeley Law. We were probably the two shortest men in the class of '77 and thus had much in common. I think we had to find space for him in the house I rented with others during the blizzard of 1976, because the roads to where he was living were impassable. RIP Jon.

Seeing the news about Jon's passing in our high school class website today, I could not get past the image of the young man I last saw in June of '70, when we left Shaker High. He was whip-smart, had a great sense of humor, was always approachable and receptive to any and all. Reading about his struggle for decades with alcohol addiction and mental illness left me both incredibly sad and, most notably, in awe of the strength that he'd had to have had over those many years. The fact that he...

I am sorry to hear of Jon's passing. I recall fondly working with Jon at the UVA Health System. I learned a lot from him. What an impressive background and beautiful life. Humble. Rest in peace Jon. Diane Washington

Great memories of Jon and his family. We were next door neighbors in Shaker. God bless. Darrell Austin

I remember Jon so well from meetings and running in to him around Charlottesville. A testament to what a person can do when challenged with metal health and addiction issues. I so remember his laugh and very funny, wicked sense of humor. All our jokes about the movie Fight Club. A sometimes shy and very fascinating, smart man. Much care & love to his family

I had the privilege of working with Jon at UVA. He was a kind and caring individual with a wonderful sense of humor. I was always impressed with his professionalism and patience during times of stress and difficulty. He leaves us with the gift of his friendship, but gone too soon.

Jon was a kind and gentle soul. He was my next door neighbor growing up. I remember him helping me with my math homework. I am so sorry for your loss. Georgia Austin Murray

Jon and I worked together for many years within a group here in Charlottesville, and he became my trusted and cherished friend: a person I could really count on. I offer my sincere condolences to his dear family. He loved you all so much and spoke of you so warmly. I´m very grateful to have known Jon and laughed so much with him over the years, and I am deeply sad that I won´t see him again.

To Jon´s Family, I want you to know what a huge impact Jon made in the lives of so many in our C-ville community. I met him many years ago and enjoyed knowing him. He said many meaningful things to me over the years and brightened my days. . Thank you for posting about addiction and mental health.. it´s a long, hard road many of have and will travel. Sending love and deepest sympathy.
