Sadly, Craig lost his battle to a series of illnesses. Craig is predeceased by his father Reg, and sister Marlene Stanley.

He was loved and survived by his family; Matthew, Micah, Malik and Gloria, his mother Anna, brother Brian and Eldoreen, plus many nephews and nieces.

Craig grew up in Merritt BC, where he played hockey for the Merritt Centennials and then Cranbrook Colts. In the late 70’s Craig travelled the world backpacking through Europe and Middle East. He enjoyed showing photos and telling stories of his journeys. Craig suffered a traumataic brain injury in 1984, which impacted the rest of his life. While he had struggles after his accident, he spent time and enjoyed his passions of hockey, skiing, golfing and travelling with his three sons. He often told his boys how proud he was of them and how much he loved them. Craig spent a lot of time in Nelson BC, which he called his Paradise.

Craig had written down and wanted to be remembered as a peaceful, humble man, He never asked for much. He stated that “May all of you find Peace, Joy, and especially Happiness as you all go through Your Journey called Life.” We only wish the same for Craig as he continues His Journey. A celebration of Life was held April 9, 2016.

The family would like to extend a heartful thanks to their friends, relatives and Craig’s friends for their support, kind words and cards.
