Craig John Hoffman
April 4, 1951 - September 7, 2025
With love and sadness, we announce the passing of Craig John Hoffman, who left this world on September 7, 2025, at the age of 74. Craig valued his friends and family and loved animals.
Craig proudly served in the United States Army. In his younger years, he was a talented baseball player, known for his Sandy Koufax-like curveball and love of the game. Later in life, Craig found joy in the simple things-playing bingo, scratching off lottery tickets, and spending time with his two beloved cats. He loved spending time with family at the holidays and he enjoyed his job at Ming's and made some good friends there.
Craig was happiest when surrounded by family. He is survived by his brother Steve and Steve's family; his ex-wife Susan Marvin; and his children Tiersa (Dave) Blachowiak, Jasmine (Hans) Sundgaard, Dustin (Chelsie) Hoffman, and Jordan Hoffman. He also leaves behind many nieces and nephews. Craig is further survived by his stepmother Susan Hoffman and step-siblings Peggy, Catherine, Michael and John. Craig is preceded in death by his father Edward Hoffman and mother Corinne Hoffman.
His sense of humor and kindness will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, September 27 at 4:00 PM at 24411 Lone Pine Rd., Hinckley, MN 55037. Family and friends are invited to gather in remembrance and celebration of Craig's life.
"And Jesus said to him, "Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.""
