Craig Pollock, of Farrell, PA, passed away unexpectedly at age 65 on Sunday, September 7, 2025 at UPMC Horizon.
Craig was born March 23, 1960, in Sharon, PA, the son of the late Joseph R. and Marjorie (Ewing) Pollock, Jr.
He was a proud 1978 graduate of Farrell Area High School. Craig was employed at Reynolds Services, Inc. where he worked in shipping.
Craig had a kind word for everyone and always brought joy to others through his sense of humor and positive outlook. Known as "Coach Craig" to many, he enjoyed coaching his daughters' softball teams, playing golf, cheering on the Pittsburgh teams, and sharing his love of sports with his pals. Most of all, he treasured time with his family and was a devoted husband, father, and Papa. He loved spending time outside with his dogs, listening to music, taking trips to the beach, and swimming with his "little sunshine", Nora.
He is survived by his wife of 42 years Cindy (Crist) Pollock; daughters Cristin Pollock and Cayla (Daniel) Breegle; his adored granddaughter, Nora Breegle; sister, Linda (David) Antonini; brother Robert (Michaelene) Pollock; mother-in law, JoAnn B. Crist; brother-in-law, Ernest (Diane) Crist Jr., and his cherished nieces, nephews, and extended family members.
Craig was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Joseph R. Pollock, III; and father-in-law, Ernest Crist, Sr.
Family and friends may gather to pay respects from 5 to 6pm on Friday September 12, 2025, at John Flynn Funeral Home and Crematory, Inc., 2630 E State St Hermitage, PA 16148, where a memorial service will follow at 6pm.
