Craig is survived by his father, Vernon Wetzel; sisters, Pam Brownell and Terri (Brian) Scott; brother, Mark Wetzel; many nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews; and one great great nephew; extended family members and many friends.
Craig was a truck driver for Batesville Casket Company and a fun-loving, very social guy. Craig loved the beach and spent a lot of vacation time in Florida. He enjoyed pulling out his guitar and entertaining people and knew the first 2 lines to just about every song imaginable! Craig never met a stranger and could often be found at Yesterday’s Bar laughing with friends over a few beers or a couple of shots of tequila. He had a sense of adventure and enjoyed sky diving and hanging out poolside. He was an avid St. Louis Cardinal fan and spent time watching games with friends, golfing, and bowling. His heart was big and his vibrant spirit and ability to make others smile will be missed for sure.
Friends may visit on Monday, January 21 from 4-8 p.m. at Alexander White Mullen Funeral Home in St. Ann. A celebration of Craig’s life will be held at the funeral home on Tuesday, January 22 at 1 p.m. Interment will follow at Mt. Lebanon Cemetery.
