Craig Schriber Obituary

Visit the Garden of Memories Funeral Home & Cemetery - Metairie website to view the full obituary.
Craig Allen Schriber, a cherished son, brother, uncle, nephew, and friend, passed away peacefully on November 28, 2025, at the age of 62 in Jefferson, LA. Born on February 27, 1963, in Old Metairie, LA, he was the beloved son of Lola Bradford Schriber and the late Mervin Schriber. He grew up alongside his siblings, Dawn Michelli (Anthony), Tiffany Schriber, and Kevin Schriber and will be dearly missed by his nieces: Lauren, Audrey, and Julia Schriber.

A proud graduate of East Jefferson High School, his professional journey was marked by dedicated service at NAPA Autoparts, a local Chrysler dealership, and Southern Sales, where he was not only a valued employee but also a friend to many.

Craig's passion for the outdoors was unmistakable. An avid outdoorsman, he found solace and excitement in the natural world, whether he was expertly navigating a boat, casting a line into the water, or waiting patiently in a hunting blind. His love for the open road was just as strong, and he could often be found cruising with the top down and a smile on his face. Cooking was another of Craig's passions. He was a maestro in the kitchen, often experimenting with new recipes and flavors.

The family would like to give a special thanks to Dr. Thomas Morel and his staff for their care of Craig.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend the Visitation at Garden of Memories Funeral Home, 4900 Airline Drive Metairie, LA 70001 on Saturday, December 13, 2025 from 10:00 am until 12:00 noon. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested donations to the New Orleans Mission at www.neworleansmission.org. Online condolences may be offered at www.gardenofmemoriesmetairie.com.
