Marc was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents Joseph and Kathryn Griffin.

He is survived by his high school sweetheart and wife of 39 years Sherian Crafton of Spottsville, KY; son Dr. Joseph Edward Crafton (Lewis) of Newcastle upon Tyne, England; mother Rita Crafton of Henderson, KY; sister Amy Willett (Scott) of Henderson, KY; in-laws Kenny and Mary Ann Rideout of Aurora, KY; brother-in-law Brad Butler (Nikki) of Henderson, KY; nieces and nephews.

Relatives and friends are invited to Marc's Life Celebration from 2:30 p.m. until service time on Friday, December 19, 2025 at Community Baptist Church in Henderson. A memorial service will be held at 4:30 p.m. on Friday at the church with friends Andy Fisher and Keith Buckman officiating.
