Andrew "Drew" J. Craig

Andrew “Drew” J. Craig, 74, passed away peacefully on July 30, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family. He was the beloved son of the late Eugene and Dolores Craig (née Derby).

Drew was the devoted and loving husband of Rosemary Craig (née Puricelli), with whom he shared 31 wonderful years of marriage. Together, they built a life centered on faith, family, and love. He was a cherished father to Beth (John) Koch (née Craig) and Molly Trentmann (née Craig), and maintained a special bond with their mother, Madeleine Craig (née Wagoner).

He was the proud and loving grandfather of Evie, Kayliey (Ryan), Dalton, Hailey, and Ashlynn (Matt), and the treasured great-grandfather of Aiyden. Drew is also survived by his dear brother, Norbert Craig. He will be deeply missed by many extended family members, friends, neighbors, and all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

A lifelong carpenter, Drew took great pride in working with his hands and building things that would stand the test of time. His craftsmanship reflected his strong work ethic, attention to detail, and generous spirit. He found joy in the outdoors and especially loved fishing and hunting. Drew also had a passion for motorcycles and music, and some of his happiest moments were spent enjoying a good cup of coffee and a donut while sharing stories with family and friends.

An avid sports fan, he enjoyed following football and baseball and could always be counted on to cheer for his favorite teams. Drew was a faithful parishioner of Queen of All Saints Catholic Church for more than 20 years, where his faith remained an important part of his life.

Above all else, Drew cherished his family. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and friend whose kindness, loyalty, humor, and steady presence touched countless lives. His family was his greatest pride and joy, and the legacy of love he leaves behind will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

In lieu of flowers the family appreciates memorials to go to Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research and KVC Missouri Saint James.
