Dear Kat and Friends/Family of Craig,
I was so sorry to hear about Craig’s passing. I have never met you but your story touched me so much. My heart sank when my parents told me just today. My dad has been treated at OHSU and also underwent a bone marrow transplant. He told me about Craig’s episode on True Life which I watched and was so touched by. My prayers are with you as you deal with this loss and may God with you.
Much Love,

I saw Craig’s story on True Life two months ago and when I found out that he lost his battle with cancer, I was absolutely heartbroken. I never knew that a person I never even met can touch my world so strongly. TThank you for sharing your story and for being strong enough to continue to want to make the world a better place for those who still battle the disease.
Rest in Peace Craig. God Bless.

I just found out about Craig today– I can’t explain how crushed I am, how empty the world seems today. He was one of the funniest guys I’ve ever met, it always shocked me how he was able to be so capable and so kind-hearted at once. I doubt I will ever have a better friend than him.
I’m so sorry for your loss, you’re all in Di Anna’s and my prayers.
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. My cousin is going thru her battle right now, so I understand the struggle. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
I am so sorry for your loss. He was such an inspiration. My Mother battled cancer last year and I know how hard that battle can be. At least now he is free from pain and although he is gone…he left behind such an amazing story. RIP Craig.
I never met Craig in person — just on Justin.tv I stopped by on occassion. What an inspiration ! I hope all is well with the family and wish you nothing but the best. Take Care.
My prayers and sympathy go out to your family. May they feel at peace knowing you are with our lord.
I’m very sorry to hear this. I watched the episode and just cried. It was so sad to me but at the same time it gave me so much hope because my daughter is fighting a disease. Craig never gave up on his disease and i will never give up on her’s. R.I.P. Craig you truly touched my life

Dear Craig
I don’t know you but I wish you were here to read this message. I saw you on MTV a month and ago and I instantly bookmarked this page so I can contribute something. You were so young and yet so kind. I wish you could seen your kid growing up and seen your grandkid growing up. Your family will be proud of you and you will be living in their heart forever. May you rest in peace and live in eternal bliss. Peace upon you and R.I.P Craig
I am crying as I read this. I lost my sister to breast cancer June 12th 2008. I lost another sister to a drunk driver. I know your pain and I know what happens in this type of situation. I am so sorry for your loss. This type of loss has the ability to make families grow closer in every way, and has done so in my families case. From what I saw of your family on MTV in know that you will all be there for each other, and that through this you will grow stronger.
God bless.
I am so sorry for your loss! You will all be in my prayers.

Rest in Peace

it’s a part of life, everyone has to pass on to the next stage one or someday…its just like a cycle of life..yes its hard but give it time, think positive, if he was around would you rather have him and see him struggle on a daily base..i bet you a million bucks he is the happiest person up there, and probably laughin at all of us haha and our sturggles lucky SOB! hehe, I talked to him quiet often on jtv cool guy..I wish your family good luck and just think postiive * cycle of life * we will all pass on someday or the other..
My deepest condolences to the family. Craig was an inspiration for all of us. He showed us the courage and strength to fight on to the end. I wish the best to the family. Please do take care and carry on.

Craig,
Your family was on my heart this morning when I woke up. You seemed like a wonderful man and you will be truly missed. To your family: if there is ANYTHING I can do to make this time easier for you, please let me know- I will be praying for you in this difficult time. Remember that there is a reason for this storm!
