David Craft Obituary
David was a dedicated woodworker known for his love of fishing. When he wasn't working with his hands, he proudly boasted about his grandkids, Brynlee, Emma, and Cecilia. David had a big, thoughtful heart and a great personality.
David had more pictures of his family than he did of himself, as they were his pride and joy. His thoughtfulness and creativity were unmatched.
He was predeceased by Wayne Sutherland (stepfather), and Brenda Craft (sister). He is survived by Rose Sutherland (mother), Lori Gangl (sister), Julie Knudson (sister), Robin Sutherland (stepsister), Nick Craft (son), Janelle Craft (daughter-in-law), and his grandchildren Brynlee, Emma, and Cecilia.
A memorial service will be held at a date yet to be announced, but it is preliminarily planned to be held at his Son's home in late May 2025. Once confirmed, more details will be shared on social media.

I first met Dave years ago at Proco Woodworking. Never was he in a bad mood, soft spoken with a great sense of humor. He will be missed

I am so very sorry for the loss of Dave. He was an exceptional person with a heart of gold. Just really a great guy. I met him about 5 years ago through his best friend of many years Rick Raines and Heidi Borel, who is my sister. I saw Dave at Rick and Heidi´s house a few times and he was usually helping Rick with something in the garage or shop, or was building something with Rick or on his own. I also hung out with him at Ricks cabin in Emily quite a few times. Always enjoyed Dave being around as he was SUCH a nice guy, and he made me laugh all the time and was so darn funny. I sure had fun with him, and when having conversations at some point it was uncontrollable laughing. I was very shocked and saddened when I heard the news. He won´t be forgotten. Rest In Peace Dave
