Craig Samuel Severson

Rest in peace Craig. I wasn´t close with Craig, but he left a lasting impression on me even back in our United Community High School days, Class of ´72. He carried himself with a quiet strength and authenticity that I admired deeply. It meant something to have someone like Craig ahead of you in the halls-a reminder of what it looked like to move through life with integrity. I´m grateful for the example he set, and I send my thoughts and sympathy to all who knew and loved him.

Craig's cars were well known and Craig was legendary to us underclassmen. His old Chevy II  was a beast. Rode to school a couple of times and by noon I'd quit shaking and by the end of the day I could hear again.  He gave Bill Herrstrom and me his 68 Camaro for a night, why? I'll never know. That 67 Vette would scratch the tires on Boone main street at an idle as the cam rolled over and two trips of the strip it needed the road before overheating.  And don't  even start about his 750 Kaw widowmaker, he'd pull a wheelie at 70mph.. I popped the rear of my 63 Impala right in front of his shop. Best place in the world to learn to fix one! RIP Craig

We are so sorry to hear of your loss. our sympathies go out to all of Craig's family.

Prayers to the entire Severson family. He will be missed.

Craig is walking with each of you... keep his now Memory Alive..

Sorry to hear about Craig´s passing. Have fond memories of his Dad aka Mr. "Severshop" and as our driver´s ed instructor. Also Rich notes that Craig was a charter member of the UC "Luther Gang" which provided much entertainment during those high school years.

I've known Craig all my life since his dad was my driver's ed instructor and my junior high basketball coach. I was a year behind him at United Community. My heartfelt sympathies to his entire family, his mom, his brother, his sisters, his kids and grandkids.

To the Severson family, really sorry for your loss. I had a lot of good times in high school with Craig and down in the ol bus barn working on cars.
