Craig, the Man!

Craig was seriously the man.

I don't call very many people "the man" but he was truly "the man". Every time I saw him he was happy and it seemed like his goal in life was to get other people to reach the happiness that he felt. I would truly count him as a true friend. I went on a few hikes with Craig up at Brigham Young University and it was always fun to talk with him on the way up. He was always there to help to. On one hike he packed his backpack full of water bottles so that if anyone forgot to bring any he would be more then prepared. On this hike I brought a water bottle but it disappeared quickly and he immediately gave me an Otter Pop... which, I thought, was awesome.

On another hike we went on I fell on the way down and rolled into a bush that cut up one of my arms. He was the first one to come back and help me though and made sure that I was alright the entire way down. Craig was seriously awesome and I would count him as a true friend.

I will miss seeing him around and it is way sad that he is gone but I hope that he (and his family) knows how grateful I am for someone like him. He truly made the world a better place... and even though he is gone I know that he would want us to be happy. That is just who Craig was. We'll miss him.
