Charles Craig Obituary
Chuck is survived by his wife of almost 45 years, Teresa Lynn (Morton) Craig, and his son, Lance, of Brevard, NC. He was a cherished grandfather (Pops) to Daniel, Micaiah, and Cora Mae Craig. Chuck is also survived by his mother, Faye Taylor, sisters Valerie Navarro (Michael), Veronica Craig, Michelle Kemerer (Hannibal) and brother Mike Craig (Carolyn). He was preceded in death by his father, Kenneth Craig, father-in-law William (Bill) Morton, mother-in-law Mary Morton, brother Kenny Craig, and beloved son, Trent.
Chuck was a graduate of Meigs County High School in Decatur, TN, and earned his BS from Luther Rice Seminary and his MS from Covington Theological Seminary. Throughout his life, Chuck held various jobs and acquired many skills, but his ministry jobs were the most important to him. He served at various churches over the years in Tennessee and last as an Associate Pastor for Pinal County Cowboy Church in Casa Grande, AZ. He also authored two Christian books, "Mighty Built Man" and "I Hunt."
In his free time, he enjoyed talking to people, mentoring Christian Challenge interns, hunting, traveling, working on cars, and fixing things. He never met a stranger.
A memorial service will be held on August 19, 2023, at 10:00 AM at Pinal County Cowboy Church, located at 18171 Hopi Dr., Casa Grande, AZ. Service will also be available through the church YouTube site. A graveside memorial will take place at a later date at Kingston Memorial Gardens in Kingston, TN.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made to Yellowstone Forever or directly to the Park Rangers who serve medical needs in the Park, particularly at Old Faithful. Contributions to Pinal County Cowboy Church or Gideons International are also appreciated.
Please join the family in celebrating Chuck's life and honoring his memory. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who knew him.

From coach, to youth/kids church, then to friend- Chuck was very much a formable part of my growing up. Always leading with a Christian example and forever with a smile on his face even while correcting an error or issue that he saw (again backfield or youth group). I am so thankful to have had the Mortons and Craigs in my life growing up.
Theresa and family- words fail me to offer comfort because I know it´s been so hard with the losses of family. But I know that I am confident our goodbye to them is temporary as we will be with them again. I pray that the Holy Spirit comforts, sustains, and breathes life in each of you.
Love and prayers to you all!

Teresa and family, I was so sorry to hear of Chuck´s passing and my prayers are with you during this most difficult time. May God bring you comfort and peace in the days ahead. With my deepest sympathies.

Chuck was used of God to convince me of my lost condition early in life. It is because of his faithfulness that I am a pastor today. Chuck was not only my brother in Christ, he was also a good friend. The world is a darker place without his light and heaven just became a little brighter. Our prayers are with you in these difficult days!
