The family of Craig Anderson is deeply saddened to announce his passing on January 29, 2026. Craig was born on December 7, 1951, in St. Charles, Illinois, to George and Shirley Anderson. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, uncle, brother, cousin, godfather, and friend to so many.

He is survived by his wife of 53 years, Michelle (Beyda); his sons Eric (Shelly) and Ryan (Danielle); his four grandchildren Evan, Noah, Luke, and Wesley; and his sister, Brenda. A memorial service will be held at Sinai Mortuary of Arizona (4538 N. 16th St, Phoenix, AZ 85016) on March 5, 2026, at 1pm to celebrate a life well-lived. Flowers are welcome, as are donations to Hospice of the Valley Arizona, or The Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation (CholangioCarcinoma.org).
