Publish in a newspaper

Brian Dee Craig of Albion, Oklahoma left his earthly home for his heavenly home on November 16, 2025 at the age of 58. Brian was born in Talihina, Oklahoma on July 18, 1967 to Oscar Craig and Luvina (Hamlin) Craig. Brian spent many years working in the oilfield. He didn't have many conversations that didn't end up with a story of an old roughneck friend or about a rig in general. He always said that "Diesel was the smell of money" Brian was the ultimate jokester. Very seldom did anyone see a serious side of him. He couldn't leave a room without "picking" at someone. That was his way of showing love to the ones he cared about. Brian touched the lives of many and will be loved, missed and remembered by all who truly knew him.
Brian is survived by his children, Leandra Henry, Chelsea Holland, Kimberly Whittaker and husband Tyler and his only son, Brian Craig II; grandchildren, Bryson, Adalynn, Avery, Jeremiah, Braelynn, Loxlee, Eilee, and Berkleigh; siblings, Jimmy Craig and Alice Knot; numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and many friends.
Brian is preceded in death by his parents, and four siblings, Benjamin Hamlin, Hazel Miller, Yvette Craig and Charles Craig.
Family night will be on Tuesday, November 18th, 2025 from 5:00PM to 7:00PM at McCarn Funeral Service in Talihina. Cremation services have been entrusted to McCarn Funeral Service.
