He dedicated 37 years of his life to serving the City of Winter Park, where he cherished his work, progressing from rope and saddle to mastering the bucket truck—a testament to his hard work and dedication.

Craig's love for his family was boundless. He was a devoted husband to Donna Duncan, who he often referred to as the "greatest catch" of his life. Together, they raised three daughters: Brittany Walters; Megan R Duncan and Desiree Duncan. And one stepson: Tommy W Hanson. His role as a father was pivotal, and he took immense pride in providing for his family and fostering their growth.

Throughout his life, Craig held a deep appreciation for the great outdoors. He loved fishing, hunting, and camping, especially in Cherokee and various state parks. His passion for nature was matched only by his talent for working with wood. He found joy in building birdhouses and paddles for his grandchildren, nurturing both their spirits and his own creativity.

Craig's personality was affable and warm; he was not selfish and demonstrated an unwavering love for his family. Known for his camouflage hat, he encapsulated the spirit of kindness and generosity. He was a man who embodied the notion of "rags to riches," as he transformed his life through hard work and an unwavering commitment to his loved ones. His proudest accomplishments included rekindling his relationship with God and always finding ways to make things work for those around him.
