Craig A. Carrithers, 63, of Peoria, IL, died on September 13, 2024, at his residence.
He was born on May 6, 1961, to John Carrithers and Donna Wagner in Peoria. Craig married Amy Jo Hindman on March 8, 2002.
Craig is survived by his daughter, Amber Barnett; sister, Starlet Holt; aunt, Shirley Harren; and many cousins.
He was preceded in death by his wife of 21 years, Amy Carrithers and mother, Donna Wagner.
Craig was an honorable man who loved his family more than anything. He was a kind father, brother, and friend, always doing everything in his power to help those he cared about.
He was a collector of many things, some of which were decorative pocket knives, coins, and wolves. Craig enjoyed fishing, though he was not able to go out as much as he would have liked to and when he was younger, he enjoyed going hiking. He was skilled at playing chess.
Craig will be greatly missed by his family and friends.
Cremation rites have been accorded. At this time there will not be any funeral services.
