Craig was a wonderful friend to many. He loved his longtime friends from his youth, as well as his new friends made in recent years. His friendly and engaging personality drew people from all walks of life.

In his youth, and in healthier years, he participated in Olympus High School football and wrestling. He completed 2 marathons and was an avid biker, riding to the top of Millcreek Canyon several times each year.

After serving an LDS mission to the California San Jose Mission, he lived his adult life in the Salt Lake City area. Craig Worked for 31 years at the University of Utah Hospital in many healthcare capacities. He was a big man with a kind heart, and he loved to serve others.

Craig was a fan of BYU football and the San Francisco Giants. He loved baseball and baseball statistics, picnics, buffet dinners, all holidays, family gatherings, and anything Chocolate.

His love of, and faith in Jesus Christ, and his membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, has been a constant comfort to him. He was a faithful member who loved the temple and all church meetings and activities.

Above all, Craig loved and appreciated his extended family and took an interest in us all. He was a wonderful son to his beloved mother. We will all miss his outstanding memory, his jokes, his big hugs, and especially his example of grace, strength and dignity as he endured many trails in his life. We will miss him so very much.
