Bradford James Craig

April 30, 1995 ~ July 22, 2024

Bradford James Craig passed away Monday, July 22, 2024, at the age of 29, leaving behind a legacy of warmth and inclusivity that touched countless lives.

Born in Salt Lake City on April 30, 1995, to Barrett and Rachel Craig, Bradford (Brad, as he liked to be called) exemplified from an early age a remarkable ability to connect deeply with others. His innate kindness and genuine interest in people made him a cherished friend, a loving family member, and a pillar of his community.

Throughout his life, Bradford radiated a unique blend of humor and charisma that drew people to him effortlessly. His infectious laughter could brighten the darkest days, and his quick wit kept everyone on their toes. Those who knew Bradford remember him as much for his goofiness as for his deep capacity for love. He had a unique way of turning ordinary moments into extraordinary memories, often through his playful antics and lighthearted spirit. His laughter was contagious, and his enthusiasm for the care of others was boundless.

Service was central to Bradford's life, and he always found ways to improve his community. Bradford lived by the creed: "Volunteerism is the rent you pay to live on this Earth." A sentiment instilled in him by his grandfather, Popi. Bradford joined the Twin Falls Rotary Club in December 2020 and became a board member in July 2022. However, his relationship with Rotary began as a young child; it was a Craig Family tradition to help with the Jerome Rotary Christmas Baskets. He looked forward to this tradition every year for the past 20 years. Throughout his life, Bradford painted many houses, served tons of ice cream, sold hundreds of raffle tickets, volunteered at countless fun runs, and provided Christmas gifts/meals to our region, all in the acts of service and giving back to his community. If someone was in need, Bradford was quick to lend a hand and a smile.

Bradford leaves behind a community deeply enriched by his presence and a multitude of friends who will forever cherish his memory. His legacy of kindness, love, inclusivity, and humor will continue to inspire all who knew him. Bradford's spirit left an indelible mark on this world, and he will be deeply missed.

Bradford is survived by his parents, Barrett and Rachel Craig; two sisters, Kathryn and Abigail Craig; three grandparents, Joyce Craig, Robert and Reinita Flinn; three dogs, Bleu, Violet, and Saint; many uncles and aunts and several cousins.

He was preceded in death by his grandfather, LeRoy Craig; uncles, Mike Tremblay and Matthew Flinn; and cousin, Chance Craig.

A memorial service will be held on Tuesday, July 30, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. in the Jerome High School Auditorium, where friends and family will gather to celebrate Bradford's life and share fond memories. A reception luncheon will be held after the funeral in the JHS Cafeteria.
