This morning, February 19, 2026, our family experienced a devastating and unexpected loss. We tragically lost my father-in-law, David Craig. The shock and heartbreak are still overwhelming, and we are struggling to process how suddenly he was taken from us. David was more than a husband to Brenda, father to Chad and Justin, and grandfather to Camden and Maddalena. He had a quiet strength about him, a caring heart, and a love for his family that was unwavering. He showed up when it mattered most and gave what he could, even when he didn’t have much to give. His absence leaves a space that can never be filled.

Our greatest concern right now is for his wife, Brenda Craig. She lives month to month on a very limited income and has no savings set aside for funeral expenses. The unexpected nature of David’s passing has left her not only grieving the love of her life, but also facing a financial burden she simply cannot carry on her own. At this time, she does not have the funds to cover even the cost of cremation. As a family, we are doing everything we can to help, but the expenses for cremation and a small memorial service to properly honor David are more than we can manage alone.

We are asking for help during this incredibly difficult time. Any contribution — no matter the amount — will go directly toward cremation costs and a memorial service so we can lay David to rest with the dignity and respect he deserves. If you are unable to give, we ask that you please share this fundraiser and keep our family in your thoughts and prayers. Any extra funds outside of cremation and memorial services will go directly to Brenda to assist her with rent, groceries, and anything extra she may need during this difficult time. Thank you for helping us honor David’s life and for supporting his wife as she begins to navigate life without her partner. Your kindness, generosity, and compassion mean more to us than words can express.
