Craig Anderson Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Feb. 20, 2012.

Craig Thomas Anderson
1970 ~ 2012

Our brother, uncle, cousin and friend Craig passed away peacefully into the arms of our Heavenly Father after a day of doing what he loved most, fishing. When God created Craig he made a true outdoorsman; a man who loved spending time with family and friends while hunting, fishing, camping and just enjoying the great outdoors. He loved to tell stories about his many adventures to anyone who would lend an ear, and good stories they were!
Craig is survived by his brothers David (Sheryl), Daniel and Doug, his sister Tracy, two nephews Eric (Tina) and Aaron (Sarah), niece Sara, two great-nephews, two great-nieces and many friends.
Family and friends who would like to pay their last respects may come to the Anderson home on Saturday, Feb. 25, 2012 from 1-4 pm for an open house. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made at any Cyprus Credit Union under the name Craig T. Anderson.

Condolences may be sent to the family @ www.valleyviewfuneral.com

Anderson clan: Rafting on the Colorado, Craig helping Violet fish at Scofield, the big rainbow that scared us both as he took Craig's Repalla AFTER it came out of the water at Deer Creek, Drew sharding at Strawberry. Great memories that I'll never forget with Craig and why he will always be in our hearts and minds. Happy trails Craig.

Danny, Doug, David and Tracy,
 
I was deeply saddened to learn of Craig's passing. Craig was more than a friend, he was a teacher or as he would of said "a guide". His knowledge and skills in the outdoors was natural and effortless, he generously shared his gifts with his friends, I remember more than once it was said that he should have his own outdoor TV show.

We spent many days together bow hunting in Salina, and Current Creek. Discovering new fishing holes at the local rivers, ponds, lakes and a few canals and pheasant hunting with our beloved bird dogs. He was always ready to go spend time in the outdoors, and I'm grateful that we shared some of that time together. He will be missed...but not forgotten.

Rest in peace Craig.
