“Craig was an outstanding athlete. In his earlier years he played Triple A baseball and he was an amazing fisherman winning many tournaments. Craig was always coaching younger athletes and took them all under his wing, they truly looked up to him,” according to the sheriff’s office post. “We can’t say enough about Craig, he was always making us laugh and was a real go-getter on the job. We are all truly heart broken. Please say prayers for his family and his Law Enforcement family.”
