Craig Fluellen Obituary

Craig Fluellen

03/25/1950 - 11/1/2024

Born on March 25, 1950, Deacon Craig Fluellen passed away peacefully, at home, on November 1, 2024. He is survived by his sister, Yvonne Fluellen; his niece, Patricia Ebelt; his best friend, Terrence (Terry) Flahiff; and close friends, Michael (Mike) Aumiller, and his wife, Rebecca (Becky) Aumiller.

Craig grew up in Columbus, OH, as one of six siblings; three brothers and two sisters. He resided in Toledo, OH, for nearly 30 years. From 2006 until his retirement in January, 2024, Craig worked as a terminal manager at Pan American Express. He was cherished and loved by many in his community. Actively involved at his church, Lion of Judah World Outreach Center, where he served as a deacon, Craig was known for always dressing sharply in his Sunday best. When complimented, he would playfully respond "No autographs, no autographs!", while maintaining a big smile and radiating the joy of the LORD. A true servant of God, Craig served on the worship team for many years. He welcomed newcomers to the church, offered rides to those in need, and took pride in his role as the church grounds gardener, showcasing his green thumb. An avid Buckeyes fan, he was a true blessing to all who knew him. Though he will be deeply missed, the legacy he leaves behind will forever remain in our hearts.

A memorial service to celebrate his life will be held at Lion of Judah World Outreach Center at 5732 Douglas Rd., Toledo, OH 43613, on November 17, 2024, at 5:00 p.m.

I unfortunately didn't get to know him. But you couldn't mess him. Everything you have described., he was from the distance. He is in a better place.
