Craig Pearson Obituary

Craig James Pearson
1960-2019
CRAIG JAMES PEARSON, born April 28, 1960, in Washington, D.C, to James Arthur Pearson III and Gay Holleron Pearson, passed away January 13, 2019 at home in Houston, surrounded by family.
Craig grew up in Houston, attended Briargrove Elementary, T. H. Rogers Junior High School, Robert E. Lee High School, and the Texas Military Institute. In his early years in California, he began working in the automobile business and continued in that after returning to Houston. In recent years he worked as a commercial property appraisal consultant for a private firm.
Craig was a sixth generation Texan and a member of the Sons of the American Revolution. He was an avid reader, history buff, lover of music, amateur guitar player, and sports fan. A devoted father and loving son, brother, and brother-in-law, he treasured his children, family, and friends. We wish to express appreciation especially to those many friends for their love and support during his extended illness.
Craig was preceded in death by his father. He is survived by son Cole James Pearson, daughter Madeline Jane Heffelfinger, mother Gay Holleron Pearson, sister Lisa Pearson and her wife Terri Torres, cousins Sean Holleron, his wife Dina Holleron, and their children; Kevin Holleron, his wife Mona Holleron, and their son; and Dane Holleron, his wife Jalynn Holleron, and their daughters. Craig is also survived by his stepmother Annet Pearson, and her children and extended family.
A memorial service will be held on Friday, January 18, 2019 at two o'clock in the afternoon in the chapel of St Martin's Episcopal Church, 717 Sage Road, Houston. For those desiring, rather than flowers, a contribution is suggested to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, or to the charity of your choice.

Craig's care and compassion was matched only by the power of his words and his smile. His love shone brighter than the warmest ray of sunshine, on everyone blessed to know him. He made me want to be a better person. He helped save my life, and I will always love him.

Craig will always be an inspiration. His beautiful smile, quick wit, charm, and optimism are irreplaceable.

I greatly admired and loved Craig.

You are so loved Craig and such a classy guy. You rarely complained, were humble and polite, wore great shoes, informative, upbeat, funny, and fought a battle none of us wanted for anyone (i.e. cancer). Your death means we can only love you in our hearts and memories. I have only good things to say or think about you. Rest in peace knowing God, your friends and family loved you so much. I miss you. Hugs and laughter forever ~ Betsy

Craig, I love you in Heaven as I have loved you here on earth. Thank you for being a sweet, funny and loyal friend since we were young children living in Briargrove. You will always be remembered. Especially when I think of our family vacations at the beach. There were so so many fun times. I will see you on the other side.
Love you always, my sweet dear friend, Adrian H. Kelly
