I didn't really know Craig--except as a Youtube friend. I am not LDS, but I was so taken by Craig's positive attitude that I read 2 Nephi. I then realized how deeply he believed that "men are, that they might have joy." Through his life and his smile, he showed us the joy that all might have by emulating the love of our Saviour for all men.
Although some might see his quirky humor, constant joking, and ceaseless desire to spread happiness as a result of being a younger sibling; his desire not to let his amputation hinder him in anything as simple overcompensation and denial, I believe that this is simply not the case. If ever anyone personified the life of Our Lord and showed the joy that it could give to everyone, that person was Craig.
If anyone in our time has managed to quietly, but so effectively live a life worthy of the Atonement, it seems to me it was Craig. My sympathies are with his family and the friends who loved him, but I know that they also rejoice in knowing that he now has the joy that he wished for all people. He left a shining example, but one which will be impossible to emulate unless we have the help and guidance he received.
