At the age 62, Craig leaves to mourn his daughter Amber; grandchildren Mackenzie and Sydney; twin brother Curtis; sister Valerie (Wes); nieces and nephews Darren (Laura), Kendall (Blaine), Braeden, Scott (Katie), Kayla (Richard); great nieces and nephews; and Auntie Diane. Craig will be joining his predeceased mother Natalie, father Ernie, and grandparents Tillie, Walter, Mary and Al.
Craig was born in Winnipeg, 4 minutes after his brother Curtis, making that the longest separation between the twins. His childhood was full of fun, games, hyperactivity, and mischief.
Craig’s twenties brought him a marriage and a daughter. Craig enjoyed camping, boating, water skiing, and spending time around the kitchen table with family and friends. Craig’s humor could be matched by no one. He loved the Winnipeg Jets and his dog Lacey dearly, but family was the most important thing to him. Craig was an owner operator with Gardewine/Northern Deck and devoted himself to long-haul transportation with tremendous vigour; he was greatly respected and widely known within the industry.
The family would like to sincerely thank everyone who contributed to his wellbeing, including the staff of the St. Claude Medical Center, and the Notre Dame de Lourdes Hospital for the exceptional care he received.
In accordance with his request, Craig has been cremated. Following COVID-19 restrictions, a private service will be held at 10:00 AM on Saturday, January 9, 2021 at Green Acres Funeral Home & Cemetery.

Craig, your last haul is your lightest, as you are transporting pieces of our broken hearts. We love you and missing you right now is painful, but in time, the pain will slowly ease into happy memories.
