Obituary

Terry A. Loving Craig , age 71, passed away on August 3, 2025. Born in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Terry was a proud graduate of North Side High School. He found his calling in the kitchen, working as a chef and cook at Parkview Hospital and the State School, where his dedication, skill, and work ethic left a lasting impression. Terry had a sharp sense of style and took pride in dressing well—he was often seen in one of his favorite suits, looking dapper and carrying himself with quiet confidence. He enjoyed playing cards and could always be counted on for good company, easy laughter, and a calm presence. Above all, Terry valued the time he spent with his family and close friends. Making memories with those he loved was what mattered most to him. His warmth, loyalty, and the joy he brought to everyday life will be deeply missed and long remembered by all who knew him. Surviving and carrying his memory on are his children, Carmella Williams, Termare Craig, Terri Craig; 9 grandchildren; 7 great-grandchildren; siblings, Curtis Hurse, Mary Ware, Gwendolyn (Frederick) Stevenson, Dan (Regina) Stephens, Carrie (Willie) Blackmon, Carolyn Jackson, Ronnie Stephens, Doris Coker; along with a host of nieces, nephews, and extended family members. Service is noon, Saturday, August 23, 2025 at Greater Progressive Baptist Church, 2215 St. John Street, with calling from 10 am until the services. A private family burial will be held later at Concordia Cemetery Gardens. Memorials may be made to Alzheimer's Association. FairHaven Funeral Home and Cremation Services is handling arrangements.
