Craig Michael Squire

September 16, 1991 – October 21, 2026

Beloved Father, Son and Brother

Craig Michael Squire, 35, of Lutz, Florida, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, October 21, 2026. A loving partner, devoted father, beloved son, brother, uncle, and lifelong friend, Craig will be deeply missed for his laughter, generosity, and loving heart.

Craig was born in Detroit, Michigan, to Albert Herman Squire and Kathleen Marie Anderson. He moved to the Tampa Bay area with his family at the age of two. At five, Craig was blessed to have William Harold Anderson, lovingly known as Bill, come into his life and raise him. Craig attended Lake Magdalene Elementary School, Schwarzkopf Elementary School, Walker Middle School, and Sickles High School. The friendships he made growing up stayed with him throughout his life.

Hardworking with an entrepreneurial spirit, Craig earned his commercial driver’s license and drove commercial trucks. He worked for Suncoast Concrete, delivered appliances for ABC Appliances, and went on to own and run Squire Hauling LLC. Of everything he accomplished, nothing made him prouder than being Catherine and Cannon’s dad.

Craig had a love for life and treasured the time he spent with the people closest to him. He was a goofball in the best sense of the word, always ready to make someone laugh or go out of his way to help. He loved boating, fishing, hunting, and taking trips with his family and friends. As he and his childhood friends started families of their own, they spent weekends together taking the kids fishing or going on family trips. Craig often talked about moving closer to family so Catherine and Cannon could grow up alongside their cousins. He treasured the quiet moments, too, like curling up on the couch with his two kids.

Craig is survived by his beloved children, Catherine Squire and Cannon Squire, and his loving mother, Kathleen Marie Anderson. He is also survived by his brother Anthony “Tony” Squire (Morgan), his sister Lauren Squire (Haakim Johnson), his stepsister Alena Knezevic (Mile), and his stepbrother William “Bill” Anderson Jr. (Allison). He leaves behind his beloved nieces and nephews AJ Squire, Aisley Squire, Kenzo Johnson, Justin Bedell, Tristan Knezevic, Josephine Knezevic, Hannah Anderson, and Kelsey Anderson, along with many extended family members and lifelong friends.

Craig shared his daughter Catherine with Emily Gonzalez. He is also survived by his wife, Megan Squire, who is Cannon’s mother.

Craig was preceded in death by his father, Albert Herman Squire, and his stepfather, William Harold Anderson.

Craig’s time with us was far too short. We’ll keep his memory alive by spending weekends together, taking the kids fishing, going on family vacations, and telling the stories that still make us laugh. As our kids grow up together, we’ll make sure they know how much those days meant to him. The love he gave and the memories he made with us will always hold a special place in our hearts.

We love you, Craig. You’ll be deeply missed and forever loved.
