Chad Christopher Craig's Obituary
Chad Christopher Craig, 43, of Garland, Texas passed away on June 12, 2025, at his home in Forney, Texas. Chad was born on April 25, 1982, to Rick and Carol Craig. He was a graduate of North Mesquite High School and went on to have a very successful career in sales. He married the love of his life, Clairessa, in 2012 and was blessed with a precious son. Chad was loyal to his family and worked hard to be a good provider. He loved fast cars, motorcycles, and spending time surrounded by the people who loved him. Chad was a gentle giant, a man of few words who left a positive impression on everyone who met him.
Chad was preceded in death by his father Rick and his wife Clairessa. He is survived by his 10-year-old son, his grandmother Irene, his mother Carol and stepmom Betty, his sister Chelsea, her spouse John and his sweet niece and nephew, his stepsister Benita and her spouse Daniel.
Chad left this world too soon and will forever live in the hearts of those who knew him. In lieu of flowers, the family requests a donation to the Suicide and Crisis Center of North Texas in hopes of helping to save at least one family from enduring the pain and anguish of losing a loved one to this tragic suicide epidemic.
Memorial Services will be held at Restland Funeral Home on Greenville Avenue on Wednesday June 25, 2025, at 2:00pm.
