Craig "Digger" Wesley Tame, aged 76, of Salt Lake City, Utah, passed away on April 13, 2024, in South Jordan, UT.
He was born on July 7th, 1947.
Craig was a devoted family man who cherished spending time with his loved ones. He enjoyed various outdoor activities such as camping, hiking, boating, horseback riding, fishing, and dirt biking. A passionate baseball fan, he also found joy in crafting projects in his wood shop.
A proud veteran, Craig served in the United States Army for four years. Following his military service, he pursued a career in law enforcement, starting as a Sheriff’s Deputy. He graduated from the FBI National Academy and worked diligently to climb the ranks, retiring as a captain after twenty-seven years of dedicated service. His commitment to both his career and his passions was truly admirable.
Craig is survived by his loving wife, Jo Ann Tame, his son Jaren Wesley Tame (Pam), his daughter Kelli Jo Cholico (Jorge) and grandchildren Alex Berg, Kayla Berg, Preston Defa and Tristan Cholico.

Guestbook/Condolences
Tame family.:) My memories of Craig are fond. He wore his uniforms with distinction and honor. He was always willing to help and offer a hand shake. Craig will definitely be missed by all. Rest peacefully Sir.
Jo, Jaren, and Kelli,
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this tender time. I am so grateful for the memories I have of your husband and father on good old Fallbrook Way. I will never forget the time he showed up when the ambulance arrived to take Jamie to the hospital because of an illness that caused a blocked airway. He always had a smile and was willing to serve.
God be with you!

Craig was an outstanding person and a superb boss. He arranged to promote me from reserve deputy sheriff to a full time position as a public affairs officer. He always treated me with kindness and respect and we had a deep personal bond. He will be missed by many. Rest in Peace.
So sad to hear of Craig’s passing. What a great neighborhood we had as young new homeowners on Fallbrook, the Jaycees, and of course, Jo and my business partnership. Such fond memories! I ran across so many pictures last week of all of us when gathering those for Jason’s memorial service. Much love and prayers to you all.
Love always, Janice
