He was preceded in death by his father, Jarvis Haugen. He is survived by his Mother, Carol (Haugen) Kruse and step-Father Robert Kruse, his sister and brother-in-law Sheri and Joey Vigil. He is also survived by his wife, Tammy, and two children, son, Shawn and daughter Tiffany (and son in law, Chris) along with two grandsons: Brandon and Cameron, as well as, numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. In Lieu of flowers, Craig would say “save your Money.” A celebration of life is planned for a later date, approximately a year from now.
