Craig was a great friend and a lot of fun. He always lived life to the fullest. Even though he left us at a young age, he lived more then most people do. He was truly a friend who cared about the people around him. He will be greatly missed.

An inspiring man living life to the full, pursuing his dreams and exploring his creativity to excellence and beyond. He was a force of nature and filled Kateri's life with a myriad of colors, hues and tones... and now, rock on, Craig!! Your memory is carried strong through your own writing, and through the laughter and dreams you inspired during your wild and extraordinary life! Xxx Ysanne
