Kraig Bailey Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Crawford Lorenzen Mortuary - Northridge on Feb. 6, 2026.
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our brother, Kraig A. Bailey, on Sunday, January 11, 2026.

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

Earlier today

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.
