Craig Reynolds

A Celebration of Life for Craig Reynolds was Nov. 22 at Arbor Manor Center in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Craig, age 64, passed away unexpectedly on Nov. 18, 2011. He was born Oct 3, 1947 in Logan, to parents Jim and Donna Reynolds of Woodbine. He was preceded in death by his father, Jim.

On Oct. 31, 1970 he was 'tricked or treated' when he married Carol Mullenix . After residing in Woodbine for a couple of years, Craig and Carol moved to West Jordan, Utah.

Craig's younger years were spent between Iowa and Oregon doing various jobs but settling in the seat of a 'big rig' where he then continued his career of a self-employed truck driver for more than 30 years, even working on the Alaskan pipeline for two years.

Craig loved his family and friends more than anything else. He always looked forward to his annual trips with his brothers to the dirt track races in Knoxville, watching Sunday Nascar with family and friends, had a special passion for the fishing derby at the 'Gorge' and hunting trips at 'Twelve Mile' with "Otto," great friends and family.

Craig beamed from ear to ear when his grandchildren walked in the door. Whether it was eating "Dough Gods" (his nickname for pancakes) or watching the "Mag Cakes," (Kiana's word at a young age for Magpies), he truly enjoyed spending quality time with them and was looking forward to becoming a great-grandpa.

Craig had a special saying for everything and a nickname for everyone.

He is survived by his wife Carol, "Bean," daughters, Tina "Kid" and fiancé, John Lettig, Teri "Thing" and husband, Justin Scheithauer, along with four grandchildren. Anthony, better known 'at the office' as "Bam Bam" or "Bud," as he got older, Tauni, "Taun Taun," Kaden, "Doogie Boy" and Kiana , "Pookie." He was soon to be a great-grandpa to Preslie.

Also survived by his mother, Donna and three siblings; big sister, Judy; and husband Hal Sexton, of Columbus, Miss.; two racing buddy brothers, Ken and wife Ann, Eric and wife Ellen all of Omaha, Neb. Craig leaves numerous extended family and close friends.
