During his childhood, he attended Holmes Road grammar school, Buckman, Apollo and graduated from Olympia High School. On the second day of Kindergarten Craig fell off the monkey bars and broke his arm, this led to his fear of heights. Throughout his childhood, he spent a lot of time vacationing, spending time with his maternal Grandparents, Grandma Sandy and Grandpa Roger, in Florida and on cruises. Many summers were spent in their pool hanging with his cousins. He had a supportive fan base, his paternal grandparents; Grandma Beverly and Grandpa Bill never missed a soccer game through all the years. Craig spent many hours in the car traveling for soccer games especially with his dad Eric. Some of his soccer trips were to Ohio, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, North Carolina, and St. Louis (which involved traveling by planes, trains, and buses, and led to only playing one quick game.) After high school, Craig graduated with his BS from Fredonia State in Marketing and Sports Management. He was an avid sports enthusiast. He enjoyed going to Bills games with friends. He once was a 'Cuse fan but once 'Cuse moved to the ACC, he strictly became a Duke fan. While at Fredonia, Craig's Gold Buick and his home at 64 Center St became well known to local law enforcement. He became a close friend of Judge Prince and had a couple short visits in court with him. When Craig's college years ended, he found enjoyment in golf. Craig celebrated graduating from college with Jess by heading to NYC to visit and stay with a friend, and see the Yankees at home. This trip included getting pranked by Kyle, Scott, and a past Duke Basketball player (Lance Thomas). Craig and his friends always enjoyed their annual Springwater camping trip (the only time he wasn't an indoor boy) and we can't forget the many summer parties with the older FredFam. Craig spent summers playing many rounds of golf with his Dad and Kevyn. One time at the driving range with Jess, Craig was buying a bucket of golf balls from a machine; it wasn't working so he kept hammering the button for 100 balls. At the end, he mistakenly ended up with 200 golf balls, that spilled all over the floor. Craig still has a bucket of 75+ golf balls in his apartment to this day. Following a few jobs, Craig finally found a home at Clarix Technologies as a Sales Team Leader. He truly loved the people he worked with and the competitive atmosphere, It was always a joke with our family and friends that no one actually knew what Craig did there. Craig loved his Fiancé, Jessica Schleich very much. He finally asked Jess to marry him on December 3, 2016, when they went to pick out their first Christmas tree together. They originally met at Fredonia, through a mutual friend. Their family included, Jessica, his fiancé, his parents Eric and Tammy Wean and Sue and Lou Perrica, and his little sister Allison Wean. Craig fiercely loved his fur baby, Skylar and his family dog, Rudy. Craig's life-long dream of seeing Duke play at home against UNC was fulfilled on 2/9/2017. He and his fiancé made the long car ride from Rochester, NY to Durham, NC. There he got the full Duke student experience. They were able to sneak onto the Duke court the night before (thanks to the help of a sound and lighting guy). They walked around the beautiful Duke campus, saw all the students camped out in tents, and said a prayer in the cathedral. The conclusion of their trip ended with Craig finally seeing Duke win against UNC. Craig would watch just about anything on ESPN, he was a huge Coldplay fan, and found a love for country music thanks to Luke Bryan. Craig was an incredible soccer player throughout the years played for the Eclipse, RFC, and he had a very successful career on Olympia's Varsity team and played 2 years for Fredonia before finding other hobbies.Craig loved the movie Forest Gump, it was a running joke with Jess that during their 7 years together she never has seen the full movie. Craig's favorite movie quotes were "I'm the captain now" from Captain Phillips. He often quoted this while driving with Jess and his mother. He would also always send his sister "Dobby has no master, Dobby is a free elf" pictures when they would both return home from college. Craig was an amazing person, he was very easy going and was kind to all. He would always try to fill a room with laughter and smiles. Craig's favorite quote and his words to live by were "To me, there are three things we should all do everyday. We should do this everyday of our lives. Number one is laugh. You should laugh everyday. Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought. And number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy. But think about it, if you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special." -Jimmy V Craig was loved by many. His warm and friendly spirit had a positive impact on all who knew him. He will be deeply missed by many dear family and friends. Craig's loving heart and soul will forever be imprinted on the lives of all those he touched.
