Craig BRENNER Obituary

Age 61 Passed away in Pembina, ND on Monday, March 5, 2018. Born in North St. Paul, MN, Craig was the husband of Letha, proud father of Kate and Tom, sibling of Lance, Jill (Dvorak), and Jay, and son of Ray and Lois Brenner. Craig earned his B.S. in Math, graduating SCL, from Mayville State University in 1989. He taught high school math and coached numerous sports in schools throughout MN and ND. He made many dear friends along the way. Craig was a loving father, son, brother, husband, relative, friend, teacher and coach. He valued friendship, and he loved well. Craig enjoyed fishing, playing cards, golfing, helping on the farm, traveling, and renovating his home. He knew how to tell a good joke and how to console a friend in need. Craig had a Code of Honor in his life and in all his roles. He was the consummate teacher of that code, and we all learned from him. Gathering Sunday, March 11, 1-4 p.m., with a Service from 2-2:30 p.m. at BRADSHAW CELEBRATION OF LIFE CENTER, 2800 Curve Crest Boulevard (NW corner of Hwy 36 & Co Rd 5), Stillwater. In lieu of flowers, memorials preferred. Craig was preceded in death by his role models — his father, Raymond, and his older brother, Lance. Blessed be his memory, and may we all live by Craig's Code of Honor. He will be sorely missed. 651-439-5511

Mr brenner was my high school math teacher in the early 90's. He was new to the school & we all instantly liked him. He treated us like the young adults we wanted to be treated like and shared stories of his life with us. He gave us his phone number on the first day of school & told us to call him if we ever needed a ride home......we knew he cared about us. My deepest sympathy to his family, he was a wonderful man. Gone to soon.

I new Craig in college when he worked at Lauies in Fargo. We played softball together and hung out. He was always the life of the party. Telling the best jokes. CB as we called him was a GREAT guy. I have many fond memories of him. He will be missed. Hugs and prayers to Craig's family.
