Craig's obituary

It is with deep sorrow we announce the passing of Craig Houdeshell, born in Bluffton, Ohio in 1958, and left us on May 11, 2025 in Arvada, Colorado.  

After a 4+ year battle with cancer, and a month in hospice, Craig's brave struggle finally was over. Craig was an exceptional individual, father, grandfather, brother, son, engineer, musician, skier, photographer and someone whose love for life was only outdone by his love for his partner, Jennifer, who survives him.  He is survived by his mother, Mildred, two brothers, David and Brian, two daughters, Aubrey and Moira, and 4 grand children, Zoe, Liliana, Theo and George.

This obituary serves not only as a farewell, but also a celebration of the life of a loving partner and a special person. Let us remember Craig for the joy and love he brought into our lives. His memory will continue to inspire us forever, not to mention all of the artists he has encouraged through his photography.

Please consider a donation in lieu of flowers to the V Foundation for Cancer Research at v.org.
