Celebrate Craig Royce's Life and Legacy

Celebrating the Life of Craig Royce

We invite you to join us in honoring the remarkable life of Craig Royce—a man whose presence was larger than life in the best possible ways.

Craig was a devoted fan of the Giants, Raiders, and Flyers, embodying the spirit of his favorite teams and living for game days, win or lose. He found peace with a fishing rod and boat out at Pyramid Lake. He took pride in his famous ribs, slow-cooked to perfection, and found joy in an ice-cold Chile Beso beer shared with people he loved.

He was a legend at North Yard bus yard—respected by his peers, coworkers, and absolutely adored and loved by the kids he safely got home every day. Whether you knew him as family, friend, for his air guitar skills, Hispanic lisp, political opinions, or as the guy with the funniest stories and the biggest heart, his presence was unforgettable.

More than anything, Craig was a proud father of his beloved “Chicky Foo. The Dorkus from Macorkus” Stephanie—but nothing brought him more joy than the moment he became Papa to his little Emmi Lynn. His love for his family was fierce, loyal, and unconditional.

We’re raising funds to give my dad the celebration of life he truly deserves—a day filled with stories, laughter, love, and remembrance at his favorite brewery. Your contributions will help cover the costs of the memorial and the details to bring together those who knew and loved him.

Please share your memories, photos, and love! Thank you for helping us honor a man who gave so much of himself to everyone around him.

He is missed so much.

“Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all of the love you wish to give and cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.”

“So it’s true, when all is said and done, grief is the price we pay for love.”
