A Reason to Smile

I have many memories of Craig. We met while working EFY one summer. He had such a light and glow about him. Craig was always smiling and I remember how the youth just loved him. He was so fun to be around and made you feel so important. He always listened to what anybody had to say and he was always finding ways to compliment people.

It is hard to share just one memory, but the one that comes to mind is when I was working the night shift at Utah Valley Medical Center. I was doing double work duty: EFY by day and hospital by night. Craig decided to come visit me at the hospital late in the night and brought me flowers. He was so cheery and bright and it made my exhausting day so much better. Craig always found a reason to smile and always found a way to serve others. Even after the accident with his hand and the other things he struggled with, nothing was going to stand in his way from enjoying life and helping others enjoy life as well. He truly emulated the Christ-like life as other have said. Craig was a wonderful person and I am sure he is continuing to be that on the other side.
