I want to share a little story with those of you who knew and loved Craig, my big bro.
I was 1987 (I think) and Craig decided to take me along for a walk through the swamp at Lake Desire. For those of you who lived in the neighborhood, you know what/where the swamp was. We walked from our house onto lake desire dr south just past the access where the swamp was. We headed through the brush, along the crappy, overgrown trail. After about 10 minutes or so, we came upon a section of the trail that had some tires and wood planks laid down over the mud. Craig quickly hopped over a muddy section of the trail and waited for me. I took one step toward him and immediately found myself up to my chin in what seemed like quicksand. I was sinking fast. Only my head and shoulders were above the mud. Being about 7yrs old, I totally freaked out. Within about 5 seconds, Craig ran toward me, grabbed me by the hair on my head, and yanked me straight out of the mud. He threw me over his shoulder and literally ran me home and put me im the bath tub. He saved my life that day. I remember being so shaken up and him telling me everything was ok. I felt safe when I as with him. I felt important and loved. Craig was an awesome big brother. He was bigger, stronger and cooler than I'll ever be. He was my hero on many occasions. I'll love and miss him forever.
So many great memories of the life we shared.
Such a big hole in our hearts you leave with all of us who loved you.
I'm thankful you are finally at peace.
Love always, your "babygirl".

My Love and Friend CRAIG
JUST A QUICK NOTE: I am Lou Lou, Craigs girlfriend of 6 years. I love and miss him soooooooo much! I'm sure like many others, I miss his laughter, stories, him mimicking his friends, his cooking (rice and chicken...mmmmmm) and just hanging out with him (and a few other things I can't mention! lol)..:( Craig shared ALOT of stories of his family and friends, he loved them dearly but most of all his daughters, Tori and Caira (aka: Peach and Butter :)). He loved when they would visit and when Caira would spend the weekend with us. Craig, Caira and I would love to ride scooters through the neighborhood or go to all the garage sales....If he only knew that he would be gone so soon, he would've spent ALOT more time with the girls and his grandson Kayden (whom he adored!). We all need to spend more time with the ones we love, be kind and forgiving because life is to short! There's a memorial site for Craig located at 288th St and Millitary Rd. in Federal Way is anyone is interested in stopping by....I'll be back with more stories about my lovebug Craig soon. You know I love you forever Babe and not a day goes by without you on my mind and in my heart. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
PS: Mike, thank you sooo much for creating this site for Craig! He would love it! It makes him a superstar....:) lol Love ya
