Kraig Bailey Obituary
Kraig was born in Danbury, CT on May 31, 1958 to the late John and Eileen Bailey. He attended Danbury schools and graduated from UCONN. He worked as an editor for ESPN for many years and even won an Emmy for his work with the NFL. But his passion was film, and he moved to California to work for Paramount Studios to follow his dream. He loved the California weather and proximity to movie making. His other love was technology, specifically Apple. He worked for the company for many years and firmly believed in their product.
He is survived by his siblings Wayne, Diane, and Lenore. He will be sadly missed by his family and friends. A memorial will be held at a later date. One of his favorite places was Griffith Observatory.
Donations in his memory may be made to GriffithObservatoryFoundation.org

Sad to hear of Kraig´s passing. Worked with him for years at Apple. He helped me edit a short film when we worked together. I´ll miss texting with him about movies.

So sorry to find out of your passing old friend. We've been friends since the fifth grade. Both big Star Trek fans. Even though my family and I moved to Norway back in 71 we managed to keep in touch for å little while writing letters.Then I found you online in 2007 and we've been corresponding almost daily since. Too bad we never got to meet up again. Rest in peace.
Whenever I'm watching a rerun of Star Trek I'll be thinking of you.
Your friend Osmund

I met Kraig over 20 years ago at Paramount and we were friends ever since, hardly a day would go by without us texting, I'll miss his always fun comments on the latest movies and nonsense. We've shared a lot of fun over the years and a lot of Tito's Tacos. Hope you're out there somewhere, my friend, somehow excitedly watching all the movies you'd never get to see...

Kraig (with a "K") wrote in my yearbook, "Life is what you make it and friends are not so easily made as kept." Yet, some friendships remain dear to us even though they were fleeting.
Rest in peace Kraig. I'll think of you when I look up at the stars.
