Craig Cunningham, 65
December 23, 1955 – December 21, 2021
Craig Cunningham, formerly of Lafayette, Indiana, passed away in Vero Beach, Florida at the age of 65.
Craig was a Manufacturing Engineer and graduate of Purdue University.
He was also a strawberry farmer, managing the Pretty Prairie Berry Farm in Battle Ground, Indiana for 12 years. A jack-of-all-trades, he could fix, build, or install almost anything. Craig loved to take on a new challenge. He would take something apart, troubleshoot it, and put it back together instinctively. An athlete, Craig mastered and thoroughly enjoyed many sports: baseball, football, basketball, softball, tennis, golf, volleyball, scuba diving, horseback riding, snow skiing (downhill and cross-country), boating, bicycling, and motorcycling. He also enjoyed hiking in the North Carolina mountains where he often vacationed with family, friends, and dogs. An avid reader, chess player, and historian, Craig loved to invoke the Socratic method, asking probing questions to engage in a real examination of ideas.
In his life, Craig was passionate about many things, but especially about his many dogs that he had over the years. They were inseparable…and well-loved. May he join them now in lasting peace and happiness. A small family service is planned at a later date.
Preceded by his father’s passing Paul “Gene” Cunningham, surviving relatives are his mother, Barbara Cunningham, former wife, Nancy Cunningham, and a large family of cousins. If you would like to make a donation that would make Craig smile, please contribute to Habitat for Humanity.
