Born on October 23, 1957, in Chicago, IL, to Dorothy and William Kain, Craig lived a life of honor and service. He proudly served in the United States Navy, retiring as a Captain after a distinguished career as a Radar Intercept Officer on the F-14. In addition to his military service, he continued his aviation career with Lockheed Martin as a Flight Test Engineer, contributing to the development of the F-35.
Craig was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. His greatest joy was spending time with his loved ones, whether at the lake, fishing, or simply sharing time together. Craig was a cherished member of Holy Trinity Catholic Church and an active member of the Knights of Columbus. His passion for finance led him to earn a Master's in Finance, reflecting his lifelong love of learning and excellence.
Craig was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Cole Kain, and one unborn grandson.
He is survived by his beloved wife, Diane Kain; his daughters, Sarah Warren and her husband Craig, and Heather Pritchett and her husband Cody; his treasured grandchildren, Ruby, Michael, and Eliza Warren, and Landon and Noah Pritchett; his brothers, Chris Kain and his wife Trudy, and Brock Kain and his wife Liz, his sister in-law Lisa Kain, his sister in-law Cathy Blackiston and husband John, brother in-law Jim Wrentmore, and many cherished nieces and nephews; along with a large extended family and friends.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be given to the building fund at Holy Trinity Catholic Church, 800 High Crest Dr, Azle, TX 76020.
Craig will be remembered for his warmth, loyalty, and the love he generously shared with those around him. His legacy of service, kindness, and devotion to family and faith will continue to inspire all who knew him.

My fondest memory of Craig is when Cole Lisa and I went fishing in Minocqua with him. Ate some great fish and had a great time. Always treated me like family which I appreciated very much. I will miss the big guy.

Craig was just a brilliant person and the best squadron mate you could ever ask for. A friend to everyone and so highly thought of by all. Such a gift to have known him. Condolences to his family and to all that his life touched.
