Gregory Dean Craig

Gregory Dean Craig, 62, of Otwell, passed away December 19, 2025 in Huntingburg, IN. He was born June 11, 1963 to Jerry and Patty (Hayes) Craig in Washington, IN. Greg had worked as a land surveyor for Nerco and Phoenix Natural Resources. He spent 18 years with the Pike County Sheriff’s Department and currently worked in the parts department at Farbest Foods.

Greg was kind, hardworking, and loved his family fiercely. He told his wife he loved her every single day. He prayed for each member of his family every day while driving to work. He was often quiet but felt things deeply. He especially loved being “Pap” to his grandson Barin. He delighted in doing things with him and loved it while on vacation when Barin, who loved the beach, wanted to leave it to have a campfire with Pap. Greg was happiest while fishing or hunting and loved being at “The Last Resort”. Going on a little fishing trip with his dad or his son Clint was a special treat. He coached both his children in youth sports and supported everything they did. They knew he always had their back. He also took great pride in keeping his lawn in pristine condition.

Greg was a collector at heart, whether it was fishing lures, plastic worms, or Batman figures for Clint. When Clint was born he bought a rattletrap lure to start his collection. He owned possibly the largest beer memorabilia collection around and was so proud of his “museum”.

Greg is survived by his wife of 38 years, Jody (Booth) Craig; daughter, Allyson Michelle (Jim) Bowers, or “Ally Shell” as Greg called her; son, Clint Matthew (Kelsey Barrett) Craig, or “Slappy” as Greg called him; grandchildren, Barin, Klaire, and Kameryn Bowers; mother, Patty Craig; brother, Brent (Jamie Williams) Craig; uncles, Gordon Craig and Roger Chamness; an aunt, Patsy Gilham; and several cousins.

He is preceded in death by his father, Jerry Craig; grandparents, Marion and Anita Jean Hayes and Luther and Norma Craig; aunt, Debbie Chamness; and his mother in law, Sharon Booth.

Services for Greg will take place at 2 PM EST on Friday, December 26, at Harris Funeral Home in Petersburg, IN with visitation time from 10 AM EST until service time. Burial will follow at Otwell Cemetery. Harris Funeral Home is entrusted with care.
