Craig Walls Obituary
BLUFFTON — Craig Arnold Walls, 47, beloved brother, uncle and friend went home to be with the Lord on Friday, September 29, 2017 at 6:10 p.m. in his sister and brother-in- law's home. He had battled over five years with a brain tumor - he fought the good fight. It was well with his soul, he will be missed. Craig was born April 18, 1970 in Lima to Jack and Gloria (Jones) Walls who preceded him in death.
Craig was a 1988 graduate of Columbus Grove High School where he played football and ran track. He was a true "jack of all trades". He had been the owner/operator of the Artillery Shed in Lima, was a construction worker, salesman, handyman, musician, and personal trainer and weight lifter. What Craig did best was connect with and love people.
Survivors include four siblings, Rebecca Jane (John "Jack") Hamel of Columbus Grove, Kathleen (Dr. John) Needler of Columbus Grove, Mark G. (Jo Ann) Walls of Ft. Jennings, Jacqueline S. Walls of Pandora; and several nieces and nephews.
Christian Services will begin at 4:30 p.m., Saturday, October 7, 2017 at Kathleen & Dr. John Needler's residence - 18649 Road 7-Q, Columbus Grove, Ohio. A gathering of family and friends will be on Saturday from 2:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. at the Needler residence.

I was honored last summer to reconnect with Craig at CCC Allen County Fair ministry. Craig told me of his struggle with his cancer, but he had such a positive outlook on his life. We laughed and I so enjoyed his company. Today Craig is in a much better place, now in heaven with our Lord. For his special family, embrace the memories, until you join him again.
