Craig Ihara Obituary

Craig Iwao Ihara

October 12, 1950

January 2, 2012

Born in Hilo, Hawaii, to James and Tomiko Ihara, it is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Craig Ihara. Craig graduated from Reno High School, University of Nevada, Reno, and McGeorge School of Law. He was a gifted attorney who practiced in Nevada and Hawaii for over 30 years. Craig also served in the military as an officer. Always a source of sound advice and love, he will be greatly missed. He is survived by his mother, Tomiko Ihara of Reno, NV; daughters, Jennifer Ihara of Honolulu, HI and Karyn Ihara of Los Angeles, CA; and siblings, Dennis Ihara of Roseburg, OR, Sheldon Ihara of Reno, NV, and Laurel Iinuma of Reno, NV, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. A private service will be held in Reno. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the charity of your choice.

January 24, 2012

I met Craig in Las Vegas while I was practicing chiropractic. Our professional relationship grew quickly, and I had a great deal of respect for him. Often I was in need of advice on personal matters, and he never failed to offer help, both personally and professionally. He was a good man, and I will miss him.
