Thank God they found his body, now he can be laid to rest and the family can move forward knowing he is home

RIP Craig

The Deckers are in my prayers.

My heart goes out to the family and friends of Craig Decker. Loosing a loved one is never an easy thing. I am glad they were able to recover the body so they may lay him to rest

Very VERY sorry for the loss of a BRAVE, STRONG, SMART, DETERMINED YOUNG MAN who suffered a terrible injury but this hero moved right on, being positive and being an inspiration to others. God be with his family. He is in heaven now, restored to perfection.

Does anyone know what happened. Was he trapped by weeds and there fore unable to come up, or did his body give out once he made the dive?

I'm so sorry about your loss. Craig seemed like such a positive, upbeat person, despite his accident. He is now with our father in heaven. My prayers are with you.

I knew Craig in high school and talked with him on occasion at BYU. We even entered the MTC on the same day and both went to Argentina. He was always wearing a smile. My heart goes out to his family. The world has lost a great person.

How tragic. Our hearts and prayers go out to his family.

What a tragity. Its good his body was found so he can have a proper burial. My heart goes out to his family.

Our prayers are with your family. Craig seemed like a wonderful man. We're sorry about your loss.

Bob, your comment is thoughtless and inconsiderate.

This is such a tragedy. I pray that the family will be at peace and remember the greatness of their son and brother.

What a wonderful young man. A son to be very proud of.

Very sad. May the family be comforted in this time of sorrow.

This is a SHOCK to me; I knew Craig from the UAC-Lab on the BYU Campus!! We all met there to do our homework, papers or just a GREAT PLACE to hang out. Craig was a GREAT GUY to whom ever he met with and STILL IS!!

To the Decker Family; Thank You for sharing your Son with US!!

We'll miss his SMILING FACE in the UAC-Lab...Now and Always!!!!

I have been following the story since he went missing. I went to Youtube to see his instruction videos. He is an impressive person. I hope his family knows that people care. I will keep them in my prayers at this sad and difficult time. This article in todays papers sure let's us appreciate the big picture. This life is but a moment. You guys hang in there. His vacancy will be felt and hard even though we understand the plan. God keep you in his loving care at this time of departure and greif.

Does anyone know what happened?

He is missing a hand. That makes swimming a bit more inefficient than it is for people with two hands.

Marie and Lyle and the siblings of Craig,
I am so glad that Craig's body was recovered. My thoughts and prayers have been with the Decker family since this has happened. You've been an example to all of us with your strength and faith. May you find comfort and know there are so many people that care about your family.

It could have been any number of things but I highly doubt it has to do with him being an amputee. He could have broken his neck when diving in immediately causing paralysis and drowning, he could have had a cardiac arrest from the cold of the water. He could have been pulled under by a current or other debri and unable to free himself. He might have lost his sense of direction once under water because of how murky the water was. It probably had nothing to do with his disability and I am grateful that the DN was decent enough to remove the inconsiderate comment made earlier by someone named Bob. My deepest condolences to the Decker family in their time of loss. It's obvious that Craig was a wonderful young man and will be deeply missed.
