John was born August 30, 1974, in St. Louis, MO to John Sr. and Elizabeth Craig. He moved to Willard, MO, and graduated from Marion C. Early High School. He came to Amarillo to work as a conductor, and engineer for BNSF Railway.

Survivors include his mom, Elizabeth Craig, of Springfield, MO; a sister, Caroline Bagley, of Walnut Grove, MO; his son, William Craig, and wife Michaela, of Willard, MO; and granddaughter, Tinley Craig, of Willard, MO.

John was a man with a big-heart, kind spirit, and quick-witted humor. John cared for and served those around him any chance he got. He loved so deeply and was a great man. He jumped at every opportunity he could to crack a joke and make those around him laugh. His laugh was contagious! He loved his son so deeply and was so proud of him, and when his granddaughter was born, his

heart was overflowing. He was an outdoorsman who enjoyed fishing, golfing, working on cars, and his firearms. There wasn’t a thing that John couldn’t do. He was such a hardworking man and his intelligence shined through all he did. John is a son of our Heavenly Father and is now full of joy and peace. John will be deeply missed by his many friends, family, and all those who had the privilege of knowing him.
