I lived across the street from Craig when we were eight years old and on. Great memories growing up. We had lots of fun on the bikes. I will miss you buddy, ride on, I'll see you soon

Ill have a margarita for you and think of you Craig.

I had the profound honor of capturing some of Craig's most unforgettable moments at CMT each September, especially those legendary burnouts that brought everyone together. It’s surreal to think there won’t be another one. I still can’t fully believe it.

Craig’s pride was never more evident than when he saw Charity following in his footsteps, with him by her side every step of the way. He was a man of unmatched passion—a true force of nature. At first glance, you might see a biker with a love for tacos and tequila, and while those were certainly part of his charm, Craig was so much more. He was a man of immense skill, depth, intelligence, and a heart as big as his spirit.

Our comfort now lies in the legacy Craig left behind: a reminder to live boldly, love deeply, and always remain authentically ourselves. Craig, your time here was far too short, but the impact you made and the memories you created are immeasurable.

We will never forget you or the lessons you taught us. Thank you for everything you gave us—you’ll always be in our hearts, and your legacy will live on.

Craig,

Amaste la vida
Eras un gran humano
Hasta luego amigo

Seguir adelante

We are so very sorry for your loss Charity & the whole Hogan family. My favourite memory of Craig was coming out of the washroom at the Queens plate and seeing Craig crouched down collecting his winnings from a woman in the booth (from a side door!)  There for anyone to see… I stayed to block the ones coming from the washroom but noticed while Craig was collecting his winnings, everyone in line was watching the exchange! I was worried for his safety & all he said was ”do you know me” 🤣🤣🤣
Brian & I were so happy to have gotten to know him a little & are very much saddened to not get to know him in his element & full of adventure & fun. 
All our Love,
Brian & Sharon McKeigue❤️

I pray for you both daily my Canadian friend. I pray for strength for you. You’re in our hearts and on our minds.

Thinking of you and your family charity xoxox sending the biggest hugs

Our sincere condolences to all of Craig's family and friends.
If we would have imagined Hammer getting hurt on his Harley, it would have been from riding fearlessly through a challenging cone pattern.  Not his way.  
You sure were fearless, bold and brave. Always entertaining to watch ride and fun to be around.  You did live your life to the fullest. 
You can now Ride In Peace Craig.

You will be incredibly missed Craig . Your most favourite thing in the world was to be on your Harley cruising around.  Until we meet again my friend and when we do we will drink a double shot of tequila together.

Our hearts go out to Charity and the loss of her loving husband and our beloved crazy friend, Craig "Hammer".  We love you so much!  Forever & Always, Love Paul & Tray Jahrsdoerfer

Sending the deepest condolences and love to Charity and family during this most difficult time. Never in my life have I met a couple more in tune with each other, living life to the fullest- had the Honor of meeting Hammer a number of yrs ago, he always had a laugh and wicked insight whenever I asked a question. His skills on 2 wheels were absolutely gross and he taught me a lot not only about riding but how to “ dump the clutch” and live life  to the fullest - like crushing pints at Rosie’s/roasting a tire or at the Broken spoke/Iron Horse in Fla… You also showed me to take time- the time you took showing me and my sons around your shop going for a short rip on your go cart laughing the whole time- they still ask abt “ my crazy friend” 

Thx you my friend for being just that- a true friend/ mentor.

Charity stay strong - you are an incredible person and if you ever need anything …..

This song says it all:

Hammer, we road together, partied, were in some fights together , started a club together, even lived in the same place together. You were a true BROTHER. I wll always value our 30 + years of friendship.

I remember the little boy  whom we nicknamed Coco with a mischievous glint in his eyes ! Craig was always looking for a new adventure even as a young boy ! Definitely loved & cherished  dearly by his mother ! Sending love & peace to all who grieve his loss as he heads out on his next new adventure!         Love Aunt Lois

Dear Charity, Marilyn and Berry, we are so sorry for your loss.  Such a tragedy that you have all been through and will continue to deal with.  

Charity, you are such a strong, positive lady and you have shown that since this all began.  Nothing will hold you back and Hammer will guide you every day.

Marilyn and Berry, you are supportive, loving and caring parents and Charity's strength and positive outlook on life comes from you. I know the loss of Hammer, your son, your friend and love of Charity runs deep with you both.

Uncle Randy, thank you for keeping all those who love and support the entire family updated.  Many posts broke my heart and brought tears to our eyes but kept us all Hogan Sutherland strong.

Keep moving forward Charity, love from all of us
Bill, Joyce, Danielle and Michelle

Charity the kids and I send our deepest condolences.  They both will always remember Hammer taking them for a ride in the side car, and catching frogs with you up at the cottage.  Sending you love and big hugs.  RIP Hammer.  Heaven got a little louder.  ♥️

This is a picture from Ride for Sight, where my husband Ed and I met Hammer & Charity in 2013.  I am so very sorry for your loss Charity and I think of you lots. Hammer was an amazing man, kind, funny, big heart and the King of burnouts, which I got to witness a couple of epic ones.  RIP Hammer, you will definitely be missed by many. Heaven has gained another Angel and we all know he will arrive on his Harley doing a burnout or two. ❤️💔

My deepest condolences to Charity and Family , he was welled loved by many , gone but will never be forgotten  🙏🙏

Craig you will be missed and I always looked forward to your adventures that always made me laugh and heaven now has a new burnout king.

Rest in peace my friend. Will always remember your trip with Charity to Marathon to visit.  The bear on the beach and the helicopter auto  rotate were great highlights.     I sure wish we had done the Chile trip we had booked.  Will miss you.  Ray Boudreau
