Craig Alan Ketchum
December 15, 1947 - November 24, 2019
It is with great sorrow that we are sharing that our Dad, our children's Pop, and our Mom's husband has lost his long, courageous battle with cancer on Sunday surrounded by his wife and children. He was an amazing Husband, Dad, Pop, Uncle, Brother, Son and Friend. Craig rarely ever missed a game, a meet, a concert or a show for his Children or Grandchildren. He had a helping hand and a smile for everyone. His first thought was always for those around him. He had the kindest heart and eyes. Rest In Peace Pop, we know you're up there dancing and watching over us.
Being a Veteran of the Army and a huge supporter of our Military the family is asking that in lieu of flowers those wishing to contribute can please donate a wreath in Craig's name to Abraham Lincoln Cemetery by visiting www.wreathsacrossamerica.org. The family would like to invite everyone to join us this Sunday at a memorial service to share stories and memories of Craig.
