Craig was an amazing person who would have helped anyone in need no matter what. He had so much faith in the Lord and he knew one day he would get to go home to heaven with our heavenly father. His faith was very important to him. He was so charismatic that you could not help but become friends with him. His voice and laugh could be heard from miles away. He loved to work out and show off his muscles with his famous "Craig Pose".
