David Allen Craker, known to many as Dave, passed away on January 16, 2026, at the age of 60, leaving behind a legacy defined by faith, hard work, generosity, and love. He is survived by his loving wife of over 37 years, Brenlynn Craker, and his four children, Drew, Olivia, Isaac, and Luke Craker, as well as extended family and many dear friends.

A devoted Christian, his faith guided his life and the way he treated others. He lived out his beliefs through service, humility, and a deep commitment to his family and community. Leading by example, he showed his love through action by providing, teaching, and always showing up when it mattered most. His work ethic was unmatched; he was tireless, dependable, and proud of the life he built, taking great pride in building something meaningful through persistence and grit.

His love for travel and curiosity about the world stayed with him throughout his life. Whether traveling for work or pleasure, he valued the experiences, the people he met, and the memories made along the way. An avid outdoorsman, he also found peace and renewal in God’s creation.

Giving back was deeply important to him. He believed in helping others, mentoring those around him, and leaving places better than he found them. To his friends, he was loyal and dependable; to many, a trusted mentor and source of support.

Above all, Dave will be remembered for his unwavering faith, generous heart, deep love for his family, and the example he set for all who knew him. His life reflected the question he lived by: “When all is said and done, have I done my best—did I do my all for you?” He will be deeply missed and forever loved.
