Craig A Flisk, 60, of Fargo, ND, passed away on May 8,2025. Craig was born on May 20, 1964 in Chicago, IL, to Norman Radosevic and Joyce Smith Radosevic.

Craig moved to Jud, North Dakota in 1990 where he lived for 7 years before relocating to Fargo. Craig married Karla Patenaude on October 1, 2005 at Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Crookston, MN. Throughout his life, Craig worked for Dittmer Concrete, Dempsey Bar, and Jamestown Hardware.

Craig was often described as a "man's man". He could build, create, and engineer anything with his own hands; if you needed something built, repaired or improved he was your man. He is known for making people laugh and telling crazy stories that sounded unbelievable until someone said his Chicago nickname, "Southside" to corroborate the stories. Everyone agreed that Craig was always the cool one in his group of friends. He had his own little corner of Dempsey's bar that everyone knows he loved so much. He was also known as a very dedicated cat parent with his wife Karla. All of their friends and family would agree that they hoped to be reincarnated as one of their beloved 6 cats, Maddon, Sadie, Fin, Luna, Gracie, and Winnie.

Craig is preceded in death by his wife, Karla Flisk; father, Norman Radosevic; adoptive father, Louden Flisk, and brother, Kevin Radosevic.

Craig is survived by his daughter, Savannah Tumlinson (Marius Cobb) of Eagle Lake, MN; mother, Joyce Radosevic of Chicago, IL; brothers, Norman Radosevic, Jr. of Chicago, IL, Jeff Flisk (Debbie) of Valley City, ND, Jason Flisk (Tina), Ronald Flisk of Jamestown, Hunter Flisk of Fargo
