I am so sorry for your loss. May the God of all comfort hear your prayers and provide you with comfort while you remember your loved one (Isaiah 42:10).

You were the love of my life. I wish I had known. Show them some wit and keep them laughing in the beyond.

Craig and I had some great times growing up together. We went to L. 





















A. Stemmons grade school and worked at the Cotton Bowl when we were teenagers. Once we ran away to Arkansas in his gold Camaro. He was full of life and got the biggest kick out of the Three Stooges, Tiny Tim and The Crazy World of Arthur Brown album. I almost expect him to walk up behind me and say BOOO! and start laughing. When my time comes it will be a lot easier, knowing my old friend with the great sense of humor is already over there. Craig accepted Christ at an early age and that is a great comfort. My sympathy and prayers to the family.

Craig started out as my printing expert but quickly became my friend. We exchanged funny stories about his grandkids, our kids and animals.  Craig was a rare person that immediately connected with people and brought joy. After my father died I told Craig a story about my Dad, who like him was always joking. I told him how on my Dads death bed he took his oxygen mask off and said "thats showbiz"(one of my Dads favorite jokes). I explained how he was more concerned about us than himself. He said exactly! Like my father Craig would leap at the chance to bring a smile or a full fledged belly laugh from the people around him. I will miss my friend Craig forever.

I laughed out loud at Craig's musings...........and "woke up wondering" posts so hard that sometimes I spit out my coffee! He was a true treasure and a jewel of a friend. When we took piano lessons together back in 6th and 7th grade at Stemmons, I was so amazed at his talent. And when he played, what I called the boogie woogie, I just wondered how the heck am I going to compete against him! He was very talented in so many ways but his humour will live on. I miss you my dear friend.

Though I never had the pleasure of meeting Craig personally, I was fortunate enough to be touched by him. He had a way of making people feel like his friends. I'm sure that was multiplied exponentially for those who were close to him. And I was in awe of the courage with which he faced his illness. He was never dying, because he never stopped living. I will miss his witty and sometimes silly sense of humor. The world we live in is short on people like Craig Landers.

Craig was a very sweet natured man. I enjoyed his Facebook wanderings, he always made me smile. The world was a better place with Craig here. My deepest heartfelt sympathies are with his family and friends, he loved you all. Thanks to his dearest and most special friend  Leigh Ann who he clearly loved, you kept us informed of his long difficult journey. God Bless You All

You are missed Craig Landers. RIP my friend.

Craig was a good friend and he will be missed

Our thoughts and prayers are with the fasmily. Some of my fondest memories of Craig are the times spent at a Rangers game with him. Will miss his humor and positive take on the world.

Craig, it was a pleasure knowing you, especially working for you taking care of your dad and Ruth.....going to miss you. Watch over us, and we will meet again someday
....

My heartfelt sympathy for your loss of Craig.  I didn't know him well but enjoyed his presence on Facebook. Funny how, whenever I needed a laugh, Craig would just magically post something that did the trick.  

So, Craig, no more wondering for you now that you've been promoted to a higher place with a better view. Please do us a solid and send us some answers.

And may God's blessings be upon all who grieve.

It brings me great sadness to bid farewell to my friend but his suffering has ended and I pray that we will meet again. My deepest sympathy and condolences go out to all his family and friends. He will be missed.

I will miss you posts on Facebook! When I was sick in the nursing home you always cheered me up. Will truly miss you! God Bless You!

My deepest condolences to the Landers family & Leigh Ann for such a tremendous loss.  Craig was such a great, sweet and funny guy and will be missed by so many people.  RIP Craig...until we see you again.

My sincere sympathy goes out to the family and to Leigh Ann and little Sophie for the loss of this bright, funny man. Craig spread fun and cheer to so many. He will be sadly missed.

My heart goes out to the Landers family, having suffered too many loses this year. Craig and I shared several years together in a fun and loving relationship and I will always hold on to the good memories we had made as a couple.

God Speed...

Our hearts go out to all of you during this difficult and sad journey. May God wrap his merciful, loving, strong arms around you all. Praying for comfort and God's grace until you are reunited in Heaven. 

With Love, Randy & Whitney Shoemake Family

I would like to offer my deepest heart felt condolences and prayers to the Craig's family.  Craig I will miss you.  I can't say how much you helped me over the years.  I wish I could tell how much you made my Mom smile.  I could see it in her face every time you called.  You are my favorite customer and friend.  We laughed a lot and kidded a lot.  Miss you.

I want to wish the family my deepest condolences you will be in my thoughts and prayers.  Craig I will miss you.  I can say that you helped me more than any customer.  I can say that know one would put a smile on my Mom face as big as when you called.  We laughed a lot and kidded a lot.  Miss you.

Enjoyed your posts so much on Facebook and your incredible sense of humor!  You will be missed.

What a great sense of humor. Craig people you don't come around too often in this life. You will be missed !
