Craig Denega Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Craig was a true Renaissance Man. His many talents included computers and all conspiracy theories. Dude was a masterful masseur of horses and people, taught classes in same, and authored a book on equine massage. Craig was an energy healer.
Dude was a driving enthusiast of both 2 and 4 wheelers. He had a prized Kawasaki bike from the early '80s. He was a pool shark, no question! He patented an inversion machine. He was into dowsing.
Craid "Dude" will be missed by family and friends from around the country. Interment will be at Sarasota National Cemetary on March 17, 2023 at 11:30 a.m. Craig was proud of his military service, and will have a military honors sendoff.
We will gather afterward to celebrate his life.

The Rev
March 30, 2023
It's sad we physically crossed paths only once. I will certainly miss Dude's efforts to save me from myself and all those folk out to get us on both the phone and emails. I should have known something was up since not getting a follow-up to his mailing about the truth of the Pelosi event back in December. Sadly, I had the last word in that exchange... I knew Dude mostly from the politics of the massage industry. We were like-minded when it came to what the industry should be and how it could be the way we wanted it, via political action... Craig was always Dude to me and I was Rev to Dude. We were brought together by Al Schatz, another massage industry icon, in 1994. The time went all too quickly. Another good guy has left. RIP.
