I just did a Eddy Bob Craig Google search and saw that my long time friend, neighbor and schoolmate passed. Today is 4/8/18. Eddy was great fun! We hunted in Pantano Wash area as kids, partied, and grew up through High school together. So sad to hear of his passing four years after the fact. The posted photo looks like part of the Grand Canyon. Funny, I worked there from 1974-79. God Bless you Eddy!
Thanks to Evergreen mortuary for the affirmations these months that were so helpful to me🌸 this is my last tribute
I will follow in steps of Eddy's daughters and help others in our world
Being thankful each day with a positive, caring outlook.

Our family appreciates the kind words and loving tributes that have been left on this page. As a tribute to my Dad, who was such a kind and giving person, I will be participating in acts of kindness – paying for someone’s coffee at Starbucks, letting someone go ahead of me in line at the store, holding a door for someone, etc. These small actions can really make a difference in someone’s day, and it’s something that my Dad did often. I believe that my actions and the giving of my time will be the best way to honor my father. I encourage anyone who would like to pay tribute to him to do the same.
Thank you,
Alisa Hayward
Eddy gave the world two beautiful young women-his daughters.
They work hard,are caring for others, love U of A, and have great sense of humor. They are strong yet have giving hearts to those close to them. Love. Live your life. Soar.
Love your partners, friends, and each day. Know that you are thought of, in prayers, and blessed. Sing a song, ride in the wind, and love each other.

Thinking of you Eddy...You told me you loved me-I loved you too I am "keeping the faith." You once told me that you shared almost more with me than anyone...
I think of you every day. Still love your laugh, dancing, riding together, and caring ways.
I am lighting a candle and leaving an angel at DG on your birthday. God gave us the gift of life, love, forgiveness, and the resurrection. Remembering you your love for music
The beat goes on Always... Gloria (Tanner)
Only those that have known love will grieve. I grieve deeply.
Eddy was my "BFB", best fishing buddy. I moved to the White Mountains in 2003 from Tucson, to be close to water so I could fly-fish. Eddy adopted me. He became my mentor. He insisted we needed to leave by 3 am to go fishing! We were on the water as the first light emerged, always, and the last to leave. He taught me everything! Even changing the tire on my Ford truck....which I had to do many times. Once , we arrived at Christmas Lake, of course early in the morning, I noticed when getting our gear out of my truck that one of my tires was not just flat..it was shredded! We looked at it and both said "Fish first, tire later". It was the conversation point at the lake that day: Do you know whose truck that is? It has a flat tire". Oh yeah, it is ours. "Fish First, tire later".
We shared many times on the water catching Trout. I have many of his special flies which always catch fish. So sad he never made it to Alaska to fish with me.
Yes I grieve, because I loved.
I am still in Alaska and will miss the service. Will someone please, Cast a line with one of his flies for me at his service. Thank you.
My love and hugs to Alisa, Dana, and family,

Eddy was a man who put others before himself. His passion for helping others was most admirable and unique. He loved helping people, working out, and riding his motorcycles. I met Eddy at the gym and became instant friends. Eddy was always ready to ride; as we went on many journeys together. On each of those rides, Eddy was always there to assist my wife as she struggled to her destinations. I was on her left side and Eddy was always on her right. He was a true gentleman and will sorely be missed. Now, every ride that my wife and I take will be a tribute to Eddy.
Love and miss you, Keith and Brenda
