Craig Perry... One-of-a-Kind soul who we all love and miss!
We have all met Craig Perry sometime in our lives. He was a friendly, outgoing, never-shy person who always talked to anyone and everyone. He never was a stranger, and kids of all ages LOVED him! His heart was BIG, bigger than we could imagine. He even showed his love for his cousins [my nephews] who always called him "his buddy".
Craig was always there to help a lending hand, whether it was helping watch kids, to running some activity like the Christmas Train at church to a character at the Twin Lakes Playhouse. You could always depend on Craig to be there, 30 minutes early, ready to go!
Back last summer, Craig started having severe pains in his back. The doctors discovered a small tumor-like object in his back/spine. A biopsy was done, and it was discovered it was a cancerous tumor on his spine. His news for battling this cancer always had a good outcome - his chemo and radiation didn't have to be too strong as his numbers returned in the "green". Everyday, his faith of walking again never left his mind, up to his dying day - Craig didn't give up. I admired him for that and I was a big supporter and believer he would do the same one day.
Unfortunately, the last month, his pain grew more unbearable and was struggling harder. His doctor pulled him from his chemo radiation therapy and had no choice but to put him in comfort care. My last day to see him while in comfort care, he STILL had the faith he was going to walk out of that bed and get better. Craig's faith was strong! Again, I admire him.
Monday morning, Feb 26th, 2024, he could not bear the pain any longer and Jesus called him home, with my dad, our grandparents, his paternal grandparents, all welcoming him home in heaven, FULLY healed and restored! We all miss him so, so much!
I made this campaign to help Craig's parents with the reimbursement of his funeral cost. I wanted to share this opportunity with everyone who could not come to the visitation or funeral, but wanted to support his family by giving a small or big donation to the family. This is a great time to give something or all.
