Michael Craig Obituary
March 12, 2015
Rhode Island
Michael "Mickey" Wesley Craig, 49, formerly of Tulare, California entered eternal rest on March 12, 2015, at Rhode Island Hospital in Providence, from a sudden illness.
He was the devoted partner of David Pires, of Central Falls, Rhode Island, with whom he made his home. He has lived in Rhode Island since 1990.
Michael was born to Arlene K. (Baker) Craig of Tulare and the late Donald W. Craig Sr.
Michael enjoyed music, the arts, shopping, traveling, and most of all, making people laugh. His sense of humor never went unnoticed.
Along with his partner David, and his mother Arlene, Michael is survived by three brothers, Larry (Janice) Craig of Tulare, Donald Craig Jr. of Las Vegas, Daniel Craig of San Diego, three sisters, Dawn (John) Hale of Tulare, Kathy (Geary) Gong of Tulare, and Rhonda Xiong of Visalia, several nieces, nephews and many close friends.
A Remembrance Service was held March 21, 2015 at the Charles Coelho Funeral Home. A private Memorial dinner was held at the home of his sister, Kathy's house for immediate family.
The family would like to thank everyone who sent a card, signed the legacy guest book, and expressed condolences on social network, for your kind and comforting words.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
John 14:3

I lived down the street from Mikey and his family for 17 years...he was always very nice to me and my siblings. We considered him a "good friend". May he rest in peace!

Today was the first I have heard about Mickey's passing. I am so sorry for the family's loss. He was so kind to me over the years. My heart is breaking for all of you. He was one of a kind.

Reflecting back over the years when we were all growing up and even going into our adult years, the one thing that stands out for me was Michaels sense of humor! He had a gift and It came natural for him and many times he was the butt of his own jokes. He was always laughing and enjoyed making people laugh and playing jokes on people! I'm not sure if I ever saw him mad and most always he had a smile on his face! I know how much you all miss him here on earth but take comfort that you will be together again some day. I know Micheal is at peace and still sharing his laughter! Love you "cousins"
