Craig Aaron Turner was born June 6, 1969, in Lindsay, Oklahoma to John Clark and Pamela Etire. He was later raised by his stepfather, James Turner, after he and his mother were married. He passed away in Oklahoma City on Sunday, September 14, 2025, at the age of 56.
The family is planning a memorial service in Texas for a later date. Cremation arrangements are being handled by Whitt Funeral Home/Oakcrest Cremation Center.
Craig was a man who truly lived life to the fullest, finding joy in both his work and his passions. He spent many years working as a directional driller in the oilfield, a career he took great pride in. In his free time, he loved golfing, fishing, and working on classic cars. He also enjoyed playing video games and sharing laughs with his family. Above all, his greatest joy came from spending time with his loved ones, especially his grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his father, John Clark, mother and stepfather, Pamela and James Turner.
Survivors include his children: Ventruce Tijerina and husband Manuel, Russell Turner and wife Kristen, Alexander Turner; and grandchildren: Benjamin Tijerina, Amelia Tijerina, Lucas Tijerina, Lincoln Turner, and Liam Turner. Other survivors include brothers: Paul Turner, Mark Turner, Robbie Stuart and wife Sunny; and sister, Christy Hall and husband Jason.
