I have so memories that I wouldn’t know where to start. He was my little brother growing up together at Big Star. Dirt bikes and water skiing was our thing. We reconnected over the past few years and sad to say I was looking forward to many more good times Up north. Love you little bro. I’ll always think of you when out on the water. RIP my friend.

Rest In Peace Craig!!! Can’t believe this! I have so many memories of you. The best one is when you would take Grandma Alice who was in her 90’s, two tracking on the trails around Big StarLake. She loved it almost as much as you. Your love for riding your Harly’s and music on loud. Your greatest accomplishments were your two beautiful daughters Kaycie and Stevie. Ride that Harley as Loud and Fast in Heaven…. See you Again….
