Craig Wagner Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Dec. 25, 2023 to Jan. 1, 2024.
Craig Wagner, 71, of Altoona, PA, passed away on December 17, 2023. He was born on May 1, 1952. Craig was outgoing and had a huge heart. He always lent a helping hand to his neighbors, plowing the alley during snowstorms. He found joy in spending time with his family and wife Becky, especially when they went camping together.

Craig is survived by his wife of 43 years, Rebecca Wagner, his daughter Virginia of Altoona, his daughter Mindy (Jeremy) Peters of Newport, PA, his brother Paul, sisters Darlene, Pam, Crystal, his grandchildren Angel Wagner and Wyatt Peters, and several nieces and nephews.

Craig enjoyed fishing, camping, hunting, sitting around a fire, and coaching Special Olympics. He was passionate about coaching and playing softball, bowling, and volleyball for Special Olympics. A celebration of Craig's life will be planned at a later date by the family.
