Collin Craddock Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Gresham Memorial Chapel on Nov. 15, 2024.
Born May 12, 1959 in Portland, OR to Ronald and Thelma as the youngest of MANY children. Collin leaves behind his loving wife Lisa of 35 years, a hoard of children, grandchildren and a recently added great grandchild. Children notably are Ronnie, Mandy, Tammy, Joe, Ashley and Sarah. Grandchildren include Ashlyn, Tyler, Sean, Talia, Koda, Layla, Kristoffer, Annabel, Riley, Olivia and Erik. With Colter as the first great grandchild.
Collin will be missed for his humor, soft demeanor, and calmness. His love of fishing and camping will be carried on by those he shared it with as well as his fascination with bigfoot and UFOs. The impact he has had on those blessed with the opportunity to meet him will not be forgotten. Rest in peace as of November 11, 2024.
Private family services will be held at a later date.
