David Joseph Craig, age 66, of Drummond Island, Michigan, died unexpectedly on Monday, March 16, 2026, at Mackinac Straits Hospital in St. Ignace, Michigan. He was born on September 29, 1959, in Warren, Michigan, to Albert and Mary Anne (Ploszczynski).

Dave was always willing to lend a helping hand and took great pride in caring for his family. He generously donated stuffed animals to the Sault Ste. Marie Police Department to comfort children in need. Known for his sense of humor, he loved playing jokes and making everyone around him laugh.

Dave enjoyed riding motorcycles, listening to music, and spending time on the golf course. Dave was also an avid bowler and proudly held a high score that remained unbeaten.

Dave was a member of the Forgotten Eagles for a short period of time and participated in the bowling league on Drummond Island.

Dave is survived by his wife, Michelle (Swatski) Craig of Drummond Island; son, Davey L. Craig of Drummond Island; grandson, EJ Boutilier; sister, Tina; and stepsister, Marie.

Dave was preceded in death by his daughter, Tori Boutilier; and parents, Albert and Mary Anne.

A visitation and funeral service will be held in late May or early June at Lighthouse Christian Church, 29898 E. Pine St., Drummond, MI 49726, with the date and time to be announced.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to support Michelle Craig and may be deposited at DeTour Drummond Credit Union.
