Craig contracted a debilitating illness at the age of 17, but was able to complete an online bachelor’s degree with honors from Mary Baldwin University and an MBA from Marist College also with honors over a long period causing him much physical suffering. Craig was so kind, loved people, and was always wise beyond his years. Craig loved his family and especially enjoyed talking with them and always made everyone laugh with his jokes. He enjoyed looking at God's creation and would recognize the beauty of ordinary things that most people take for granted. He enjoyed playing the guitar, looking at wild animals in the yard, and fishing when he was able. Because of his keen intellect, he continued to study and was a master of many subjects. He knew his Lord and Savior intimately; therefore, he knew his eternal destiny would be in heaven to live forever without suffering and pain. He was a member of Berean Baptist Church.
