Born March 3, 1952 in Decatur, Ill., Craig and his family moved to Phoenix in the summer of 1959. After graduating from Cortez High School in 1970, he attended Pacific Christian College (now Hope International University). In 1974 he earned a bachelor’s of science degree in Christian humanities. He then attended, and in 1976 earned a master’s degree in Christian marriage and family counseling from Pepperdine University.
Craig then moved to Page where he worked for SRP at the Navajo Generating Station for 16 years. He was active at First Baptist Church as a deacon and a sound man in the music ministry.
In 1994 he and his family moved to Payson. He and his wife co-owned The Bible Shop/Oasis Christian Books and Gifts for six years. During that time he also drove a school bus for the Payson Unified School District. He then worked for 15 years for the Northern Gila County Sanitary District as a wastewater operator and lab tech. He was active at Mountain Bible Church in the praise and worship ministry, as well as being a small group study leader and was involved with the music ministry for Fellowship of Christian Athletes. He loved animals, enjoyed traveling and scuba diving and kept others laughing with his puns and dry wit.
