So sorry to hear of Craig's passing. I lived across the street from his family when he was born and was Craig's first babysitter.

I have wonderful memories of our days on Cave Spring´s Cross Country team. I will never forget Craig´s sense of humor and his love of loud rock music. Truly one of a kind.

Craig always had a smile on his face! He lifted anyone´s spirits, just being around him. He used to call me his personal Uber driver when he would ride with me to church. He loved serving on the parking team! Craig made this world a better place.
