CRAIG ZACHARIAS December 14, 1962 - August 8, 2013 It has been four months since your tragic passing on August 8, 2013 at the age of 50. An angel came and called his name and took him by his hand. She said his place was ready in heaven and that he have would have to leave behind those that he dearly loved. Those left behind are his parents, Jack and Laura, brother Trent (Milina), sister Michele (Hugh), nephews Robert (Mallory), Steven (Alexandria) and Riley, nieces Ashley (Tyler) and Amber, wife Gail, daughters Vanessa (John), Danica (Jeremy), son Desmond (Jodi), four beautiful grandchildren, Hunter, Cooper, Sheamus and Carter. Craig left us to continue his journey with the Lord and to join his grandparents William (Bill) and Mary Zacharias and Otto and Pearl Kube, uncles Irwin and Robert Zacharias, three cousins, Corrine Dyck, Jenny Zacharias and Larry Kube Jr. Little did we know that morning God was going to call your name, In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you you did not go alone, For part of us went with you the day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories your love is still our guide, And although we cannot see you you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one the chain will link again. Our lives go on without you but nothing is the same, We have to hide our heartache when someone speaks your name. Sad are the hearts that love you silent are the tears that fall, Living our lives without you is the hardest part of all. May God keep you safely in His care until we all meet again. Remembering you on your birthday. Love, Dad, Mom, Trent and Michele, and family.
