Craig Crookshank Obituary

Craig Eugene Crookshank, 57, passed away on February 21 after a courageous battle with cancer. He was surrounded by love from his family and friends.

Craig was born on July 21, 1968, to Karen and Fenton Crookshank in Kearney, Nebraska.

He graduated from Loveland High School in 1987. Craig attended Colorado State University and earned his Bachelor's degree in Business Administration in 1993 and his Master's degree in Business Administration in 2000. He worked for many years as a project manager.

Craig loved living in vibrant downtown Fort Collins, where there was live music, festivals, and great restaurants. He enjoyed watching movies, attending concerts, and playing golf with friends.

Craig is survived by his mother, Karen Crookshank and his three sisters: Cammie Spence and her family, Zach Spence, his wife Lexi and their children, Xandar and Kole, and Jake Spence, his wife Emily and their child Ava Ann; Cindy Bender and her family, Cade and Kendall Bender; and Christy Jenson, her husband Jim, and their family, Kaylee, Jaron, Josh, Kylie, and Conner Jenson.

He was preceded in death by his father, Fenton Crookshank; his sister, Cathy Crookshank; and his brother-in-law, Roger Bender.

Craig's wishes were to be cremated, and no service to be held.
