Craig Kulig Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 23, 2016.
Craig Kulig 1993-2016 Craig William Kulig passed away after a courageous battle with cancer on July 18th at the very young age of 23. Craig was born in Ottawa, graduated from Osgoode Township High School in 2011 and was half way through the Mechanical Engineering Technology program at Algonquin College. Beloved son and buddy to Bruce and Angela Kulig (nee McMillan). Cherished big brother and soul mate to Mitchell and Katrina. Boyfriend and Prince to Lexie Parker (birdy bird) and best friend to Nick Steting and Jason Sladky. Cousin and best friend to Jason Sheney and Erik Visser. With knowledge beyond his years, Craig became a valuable resource for his family, friends and cousins. Craig would spend hours studying the mechanics, the technology, as well as the history behind everything he had an interest in or worked on. An avid Toyota enthusiast, Craig took great pride in his Corollas and his 4AGE 20 Valve engine imported from Japan. Craig's other big loves were ripping down the Ompah ATV trails, camping and jamming on his favourite acoustic bass guitar. You fought your disease with incredible determination, perseverance and patience. You maintained a sense of humour at all times. Doctors praised you for your strong spirit and how you never complained about the pain. You were a ROCK; you were our hero; you made us SO VERY proud, now rest in peace. We love you profoundly - you will remain forever in our hearts. The celebration of life will be held at Stanley's Olde Maple Lane Farm, 2452 Yorks Corners Road in Edwards on July 28th from 6PM to 11PM. Memorial donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society at 888-939-3333 x2222 or http://www.cancer.ca/celebratelife.

Bruce, Angie, Mitchell and Katrina, I hope you find comfort and strength in all the beautiful memories of Craig. He was a special person who touched many hearts. Craig will live forever in our hearts and walk beside you always. He will give you strength to go on when times are tough, and laugh beside you at times of joy. So many of us came to celebrate Craig's life on Thursday, August 28th, 2016 and there were many more that could only be there in spirit , not any less connected though. There were tears, there was sadness and happiness all around us that evening and the positive energy that only love and support can create and that's thanks to Craig who was there with us always . Beautiful person, Beautiful memories, Beautiful life ❤

I still remember that summer afternoon in Toronto several years ago now, when Craig, Kurt and I jammed in the basement to Smoke On The Water. I still hear the song in my head, as we played it, warts and all. When I hear that tune on the radio I'm am always drawn back to that simple connection, through music. I am blessed that this will be my memory of such a vibrant and vital young man. My deepest condolences to your family.

Bruce and Angela, my heart goes out to your family. Although I have never met Craig, he seemed to love many of the same things I do. As a parent I can't imagine how tough this would be for you both. Be thankful that you had him in your life for the 23 years you did. I am sure you have received many blessings from being his parents.

Craig wasnt only my cousin but also an amazing friend, would do anything to help you, any toyota questions i had he would have the answer, actually any car question i had he would have the answer! I remeber the one birthday he invited me over with his friends for a sleep over and we stayed up all night in the pop up tent trailer laughing together and making jokes, then we all decided we were going to go inside and play some ps2 007 4 screen at 3am in the morning, later that day we went to grandmas and both passed out there. Or when he invited me to come with him to get his wisdom teeth pulled, that was soo funny the way he acted afterwards cause of all the drugs they put him on! i have so many amazing memoried with you buddy that i will remeber forever and keep with me forever of us growing up, love you buddy
