Craig was known as a quiet, kind man who enjoyed helping others and always gave encouragement to his friends and family. He loved to be in the outdoors and especially enjoyed water sports of all kinds, snow skiing, and camping or hiking- all with his beloved companion, Jamie, by his side.
Craig and Jamie, are the owners of a local store, Shutters and Blinds of Tennessee, started in 1999. Craig enjoyed the many new friends and business acquaintances he got to know during these last 20 years, serving the Knoxville area.
As a youth, Craig served a 2-year mission for his church that lead him to develop a strong testimony of Jesus Christ that never wavered throughout his life. His children, step children and many grandchildren will always remember his unconditional love, support, strong faith, and the fun, active lifestyle that he always encouraged. Craig truly enriched many lives, and will be tremendously missed.
