I'm so sorry for your loss. Craig and I met in 1990 at the Utah Air National Guard base, we were in the 151st Comm Flt. I was a radio open and he was over the maintenance department. Craig was a kind hearted person and he taught me a lot while we were in the military. Craig gave me the greatest gift anyone could have ever given to anyone, my daughter, Anna Marie❤️ Craig will be greatly missed! You all are in my thoughts and prayers ❤️🙏❤️🙏
Ondolences to this fine man. Darlene Morgan

My sister, Janet remembers coming to Salt Lake City with a youth group and visiting Craig and his family. Fun times with cousins.
Craig, We will miss you. You were always in the servic by helping clean the ward house and having a smile for everyone. Your stories of the service as you were in the military were interesting to all that heard them. Go forward in your life beyond the viel.
We were very sad to hear of Craig's passing. I always looked forward to visiting with him as he had so many experiences and knowledge about a multitude of things. He will be missed and our deepest sympathy goes out to all of his family and friends who will miss him the most.
