I worked with Craig and what an amazing person he was. Such a fun co worker and a personality I will never forget. I am so deeply saddened to hear about his passing. I was actually excited to tell him about the Elk tag I got this season. My condolences to his family. The world lost a unique person and he will be greatly missed. Rest in peace Craig.

My dear Kati and the Harris family -- I am so very sorry. My heart is breaking for all of the future adventures, celebrations and small moments you will have that you won't have Craig to share them. I'm sure he was looking forward to so many of life's next adventures. You are constantly in my thoughts and near my heart.

Craig always shared a joke and a smile with me and was the perfect neighbor. There never would have been a good time to say good-bye to someone as special as Craig, but this timing feels especially tough. Wishing your family comfort and strength for the days and weeks ahead. My heart breaks for your beautiful family as you find your way without your rock and fearless leader. May the joy and laughter that Craig surrounded you with keep you lifted when you need it most. If I can ever help in any way, please reach out. Sending love and prayers every day.

Craig was my best friend growing up. We had so many great times together fishing, hunting, and just hanging out. My brother and I will never forget when we moved to New Mexico for a year and he flew down and spent the summer with my family. We had so much fun catching lizards, snakes, scorpions, and tarantulas when we went down to Carlsbad Caverns. I still tell my kids the stories about times spent with Craig. We will never forget him, he was the best!

Craig was beautifully genuine. He was sharing. I remember looking up to him as a kid. He brought so much joy to my dad and will be deeply missed by many people. Thank you Craig, for making such a positive impact on my family. My dad will continue to tell me great stories of you.

Craig was the kindest, funniest person I have ever met. His love for his family always came first. You could not talk to Craig without laughing for days.
Our love goes out to his family.
