Craig was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He especially loved woodworking and fishing, passions that brought him peace and joy and reflected his patient, hardworking nature.
He was also a member of St. Thomas More Knight of Columbus council 10428, which empowered him to live his faith through charity, unity, fraternity, and patriotism.
He is survived by his wonderful wife, Jackie Long Manuel; his three loving daughters, Johnnie Ruth Naquin (Nelton), Jessica Dischler (David), and Frankie Podrat; two brothers, Johnny Manuel (Cheryl) and Dwayne Manuel (Patricia); one sister, Janet Prudhomme (Butch); five grandchildren, Peyton, Madison, Logan (Heidi), Leigha, and Caroline; and one great-grandchild, Emmy.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Johnny Manuel and Ruth Miller Manuel.
Craig will be fondly remembered and deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
