Mark Craig Obituary

Born on December 1, 1951, in Floyd County, Indiana to the late William Pete Craig and Maxine Lola Cundiff Craig.  Mark was a graduate of Jeffersonville High School and a proud United States Marine Corps veteran who honorably served three tours in Vietnam as a part of the sniper unit. 

Following his military service, Mark dedicated his career to the VA Medical Center as a nutrition specialist. After retirement, he continued to share his skills at Paul's Alignment Center and enjoyed his membership with the Jaycees Club. Mark had a passion for working on classic cars and found joy in listening to oldies music often sharing his favorite tunes with family and friends.

Mark is survived by his children: David A. Craig, Phil T. Swartz, and Dawn R.

His legacy of service, dedication, and kindness will be cherished by all who knew him.
