Publish in a newspaper
He was born September 1, 1953 in Trumann and had lived in Jonesboro since 1986. He was a jack of most trades; his main one being painting houses. He owned his own business since 1995 and continued to do so after retirement until the last couple of months.
Preceding him in death were his parents, Paul and Edith Craig; a sister, Charlotte Benson, and two nephews.
He leaves behind his wife, Sherry Wagner Craig; a son; Justin Craig; two granddaughters, Mckyna Craig and Chloe Craig; a brother, Larry Craig (Hazel); sisters, Patricia Gottfried (Roy), Carol Pillow (Johnny), and Karen Livesay (Keith).
A graveside service to celebrate his life will be held under the direction of Gregg-Langford Bookout Funeral Home, on Saturday November 15, 2025 at 1 p.m. in Trinity Cemetery near Bono.
The family will never see the world the same way as they did when he was with us. We all love you, Gary.
