So sorry to hear this it brings back memories when
my sister lost her first husband in Utah Lake.
It was 3 days before they found him.

Craig dated my sister for a while, and then worked with my husband and then served in the exact same mission. My heart goes out to Craig's family. All so sweet and loving. As we mourn with you, we also pray for you. Craig was a great man, who had accomplished many things in this life. There is no doubt in my mind that Heavenly Father needed his positive, no quit attitude, selflessness and courage on the other side. He was needed on another mission..a special mission. And I think Heavenly Father chose a great man. Craig, you will be missed and always loved. Again my heart goes out to his friends and family. And we will always keep you in our prayers and thoughts.

Sadly, I never had the privelege of meeting Craig. I went and watched his Youtube videos as David suggested and I can honestly say that he has made a lasting impact on my life. I work with severely disabled citizens daily and am always trying to find ways to provide encouragement and support. Craig summed it up in his "About Me" portion of his account. He had a sense of humor, an optimistic outlook, a close relationship with his Heavenly Father and an incredibly selfless attitude. Thank you for bringing him into this world to bless the lives of so many, even for such a short amount of time. His family and friends are in my prayers.

Craig was in my organic chemistry class for last semester and this sememster. Really nice, confident and appoachable. I didn't know him especially well except for a few conversations about homework. I do konw he studied hard. I know that because I always saw him studying more than most. I could tell he was a great guy and very liked by other people because he was a good people person. Our class was effected by the tragedy as well. We are praying for his family. We know he is in a better place.
