Craig Dean Moore

November 22, 1966 - November 26, 2018

What little we knew that on that fateful day, God was going to call your name. In life we cherished you and loved you dearly, In death we'll always do the same. It breaks our hearts to have to say goodbye, just know in your heart we'd couldn't let you go alone. For apart of us went with you on that fateful day, God called you home. We're left with the precious memories, and all we've learned from you, Your love remains, and will shine bright through everything we do. Though we may not see you when you are by our side, Know that you are always in our hearts and always on our minds. Our family chain has been broken, and nothing seems the same. Fore everything has changed since that fateful day, God called his special angel home to stay. But as God calls us one by one, Our family chain will be linked again. For we know deep down this is apart of our journey, and not our family's end. Although your body sleeps now, you're free to sore the great Heaven's above, and we thank thee Lord for the purest gift he could send us, which was truly your special love! Dedicated to my Uncle Craigy Written By: Ashley Moore Craig Dean Moore age 52 years young of Sandy Utah born to Judy K. Stroud of Iola Kansas, passed away on November 26 2018, he was sourrounded by family at Saint Marks Hospital. Craig always found happiness and joy in the simplest of things, and he always knew how to make you smile. Anyone who met him, their soul was touched in a way they'd never forget. He just had that undeniable gift. He always looked forward to summer time, because then he could go outside and play basketball with his great nephew Kyson, or play in his pool with all his toys with his sister near by. Every morning he would get up and go check on "Big Bear" and give him a hug and kiss to start his day, and he'd do the same every night before bedtime. Craig always wanted what everyone else does in life, and that was to feel loved and be accepted for the special way God made him. Of course everyday was his birthday, so we'd sing to him several times a day, and it never got old to him or us. His reaction was pure bliss every time, and would fill our hearts with warmth and love. Craig was proceeded in death by his beloved mother Judy K. Stroud of Sandy Utah born of Iola, Kansas.

He is also survived by his amazing Best Friend Nicole Uitz, whom we would like to express our deepest thank you. You made a huge impact on Craigy's life, and he always looked forward to seeing you. He absolutely loved when you would walk through the door and greet him with "How's my best friend doing today?". You quickly became so much more than just an "Aide" to him, you became family. We thank you for everything you ever did for Craigy, for making him smile, happy, loved, appreciated, and respected. We couldn't have asked for a better friend to him than you! It meant so much to us and him that you were there helping him through his passing, as well as us. Our deepest and heartfelt thank you Nicole, you will always be considered family to us. We would also like to thank Saint Marks Hospital, for the care and compassion their team showed Craig. The way they worked hard together, as a team, to make his stay there as best as possible. Some went out of their way to come check in on him on their break when they were scheduled to be in other departments. The Doctors, Surgeon, Nurses, Aide's, everyone were incredible with him. He absolutely loved the Christmas pictures they colored and put on his walls for him, they did whatever they could to try and cheer him up. So thank you guys from the bottom of our hearts. We would also like to thank everyone else that was invloved with his cares, and who made a positive impact on his life. He was a special soul whom so many loved dearly.
