In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife Mary Lou Young Craig, his daughter Janet Lynn Craig, his son Terry Carrol Craig, his sister Judy Martin, and his brothers Trent Craig and Warren Craig.

At 18 years of age he enlisted in the Navy and was proud to serve his country for 20 years as he and his bride raised their family of 5 children.
