Craig Christian Obituary

Published by Legacy on Jul. 15, 2025.
Craig Christian, age 66, passed away July 12, 2025. To know Craig, and spend time with him, it most likely included a pot of coffee, no matter the time of day. Craig loved to work, whether on the job, at home, or helping anyone who asked for a helping hand. When he wasn't working, his favorite things to do were porch sitting with his coffee, his little dog Bam Bam, and of course the love of his life, Liz. Craig looked forward to working on his cars, planting his garden, and trips to the Great Smokey Mountains. To know Craig was to love him and we are blessed to have had him in our lives.

He is preceded in death by his sons, Shawn Christian and Daniel Christian; father, Homer Odell Christian; mother, Brunita Elaine "Bonnie" Mables Godwin; siblings, Chris Neal, Jerri Bentley, Charla Woods, and Homer O. Christian, Jr.

Those left to cherish his memory include his life partner, Liz Stringfellow; children, Craig Daniel (Felechia) Christian, Chad (Lisa) Christian, and Cody (Shannon) Christian; step-children, Eric Stringfellow, Nicholas (Rachel Tullier) Stringfellow, and Erica Stringfellow; grandchildren, Conner Christian, James Stringfellow, Leah Stringfellow, Gordon and Bentley Hartshorn, Maxwell, Aubrie, and Maverick Tullier, Kennedy Trible, Courtney Martin, Shane Ellison, Skylar Fleming, Hope and Emily Clark, and Addilynn Christian; siblings, Shon (Christy) Christian, Scott Christian, Shelby (Jennifer) Christian, Lori Lofton, Lisa N. (Steve Jones) Collins, and Tammy Garza; numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
