Craig Rudiger Obituary
Craig will be remembered as a loving partner and father who appreciated the simpler things in life, including coffee, sushi, music, working out, and spending time with friends and family.
Craig is survived by his longtime partner, Tina M. Schaarschmidt; brother, Burnley V. Rudiger, III; son, Dillon E. Rudiger; and several other loved ones.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the American Red Cross, to whom Craig frequently donated blood. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

RIP my old friend... Craig was the awesome bass player in our metal band back in the 1980´s with Brian Schroeder on drums and me on guitar... We three made a lot of music and great memories... My friend will be missed by many...I´m glad to have had the opportunity to know Craig... This hurts... It is the loss of someone you care about that puts the time we have in perspective... We are never guaranteed tomorrow... Rest in peace Craig... until we met again...

I will always remember us skateboarding at Mt.Trashmore and the good tines in the garage playing guitar. We also worked together for a short while at Stanley Steemer. He was a proud father, loving son, caring brother and an all around good friend to many.

Craig was a wonderful person and loving father as well as a caring brother. He wasn't just a brother in law, he was a brother to me. He will definitely be missed, as he is already.
