Craig Decker, or "Decker" as we all called him, was just about the closest thing to perfect I can think of on this earth. He was always happy, always positive, always friendly to everyone. I met Decker in the BYU 138th ward, living in the Elms. I spent a lot of time with all the guys in his apartment, but became especially close to Craig one summer. I was engaged, and my fiancee was in California while I was in Utah; plus, all my friends had boyfriends, so I was feeling very alone. Decker and Joe Jones became like my best friends for the summer. I will always be grateful I had them.
One especially fun experience we had was when the 3 of us went to Seven Peaks one random day. I just remember how fun everything was to him...we really had a great time together!! He was a great friend when I really needed one, and a great example to me. Ever since I heard about Decker's passing, all I've been able to think about was how good he was. I honestly cannot think of a single negative thing about him. He was so good and so genuine. He was a great friend to me, and an example of how I want to be in my life. I will always remember him and will strive to live my life like he lived his. I have no doubt that Decker is in a better place now, and can't wait to see him in the next life. I'll miss you, Craig Decker.
