You will all remain in my prayers.

Condolence: Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss. I knew Craig from years ago when we would be working on one of his dad's construction projects. Both he and his dad had such gregarious upbeat personalities. I have fond memories of those times together and the entire Patton family. So sorry for the loss of both Craig & John.
Sincerely,

Condolence: I grew up with Craig and Brad in Dix Addition. Craig was an excellent chess player; I don't remember ever winning a game. Battleship, on the other hand, was a different story; I conquered him. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.

Condolence: OMG Amy We are so sorry! Prayers for you and CJ and Craig's family. He was a great guy. I always called him on his birthday because it was Elvis' birthday too. The world lost a great man, but you guys gained a guardian angel. Taken away too soon, may he rest in peace. Love you guys, Preston Ford, Randy Kratzer, Susan Hord and Brad Overholt.

Condolence From: Doug Easton, Columbus, Ohio
Condolence: I will miss morning conversations with Craig at our office. We had some great laughs and got some work done as well. He was gifted at providing a positive message no matter the situation. I will miss his contracting consultation. He was a natural leader and his workers loved him. I had the privilege of watching him work through an office renovation. Start to finish, he was an all star. Craig and I shared many things in common. My heart is with the family. Doug Easton

Condolence: Our thoughts and prayers are with each and everyone. There are so many family memories of holidays, camping trips, Cedar Point, family meals...laughter unending! And indeed, Craig had the same great laugh that his dad did. Even though as our family and kids grew up and moved in different directions we have never forgotten all the fun times! I can still see Graig carrying all those stuff animals he won at the booths at Cedar Point...
God Bless you all as you go through this very difficult and sad time. May God give you peace and comfort.
Aunt Marcia and Uncle Richard
