Craig David Keith Burks

Craig David Keith Burks, 51, died suddenly and unexpectedly on March 20, 2023, of natural causes. He was the owner of a compounding pharmacy in Atlanta, GA, Prime Pharmaceuticals, and part owner of Ortho Lazer in Fayetteville, GA.

Craig was a 1989 graduate of Anthony Wayne High School. He was a football and basketball player while in school there. He graduated from the Pharmacy Program at the University of Toledo in 1994. He was a perpetually cheerful person, with a ready laugh. His spark for life will be missed.

Craig was preceded in death by his father, Keith Burks; and all his grandparents, Floyd and Blanche Burks, and Lloyd and Frieda Albright; as well as several of his aunts and uncles.

Surviving are his loving mother, Crystal (Albright) Burks; and siblings, Kent Burks and Kelli and Roger Bankson; as well as many aunts, uncles and cousins, many of which live in Ohio.

Craig was such a delight every time I saw him. While our relationship started as tenant and property management, he quickly became a friend. I am remembering that great smile! Blessings to his family. Diane Dean
