Craig Hoo Obituary
Nashville, TN
Passed away on October 11, 2015. Craig was a generous person with a big heart.
He lived life with a passion and to its fullest. His smile and spirit left a lasting impact on his family and friends. In life, we meet few people who create similar impressions and he will be fondly remembered and dearly missed.
Craig was a musician whose genius with beats and facility with flow left others in awe. His signature call phrase, "yeah" was distinctive and memorable.
He is survived by his son, Kaine Hoo; mother, Marcellene Baugh; father, Robert Hoo; stepfather, Anthony Kinslow; brothers, Nickolas and Anthony Kinslow; sister, Taylor Kinsey and grandmother, Jane Asamani. Others mourning his passing include uncle, Mark Baugh (aunt, Nancy Vincent), Dexter Bartley; aunt, Dainia Baugh (uncle, Ernest Madu); aunt, Angela Baugh and cousins, Christian Bartley, Kristofer Madu and Mark Selvin, along with many devoted relatives and friends.
