Craig loved the outdoors and had always planned to hit big gold panning. He loved fly fishing and telling fish tales to his brothers. Craig had a huge heart and was very kind and generous. He could always make jokes of the little things in life and loved a good laugh. Craig grew up in Rancho Cordova where he is well known for his accomplishments in football and wrestling. He moved to Houston, Texas where he worked construction and had his first daughter. He then moved back to California to be near family and had his other 2 daughters. In the early 1990’s he moved his family to Northern Idaho, to be near his parents where he was a stay at home dad to his 3 girls. His proudest, happiest moments were anytime spent with his kids. Eventually, he moved to be near his daughters and grandchildren, in Colorado, and finally in Elko, Nevada, where he was also a member of the Knights of Columbus at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church.

Craig is preceded in death by his brother Joel. He is survived by his parents, siblings Karen, Eric and Scott, his 3 daughters, Marcina, Zara and Savoie and his 6 grandchildren. A funeral service will be held at St. John Vianney Catholic Church in Rancho Cordova on November 4th at 11:00 AM.
