Craig Wolf, 67, passed away at his home on April 10, 2023. Craig was born on February 21, 1956 in Sterling, IL to Orville & Elzora (Short) Wolf. He was raised on the family farm, graduating from Milledgeville High School in 1975. He married Barbara Davis on June 1, 1974 at the Milledgeville United Methodist Church. Craig was always hard at work as the co-owner of Wolf Trucking with his dad and brother Bill, hanging drywall with his brother Dan, and spent the last 15 years of his life working for Pearl City Elevator. You may have seen him occasionally waiting tables, pouring coffee, or mingling with customers at The Coffee House for several years.

To know Craig is to know his quick-witted humor, strong-willed nature (some might call it stubbornness), and his quirky smirk when he inevitably proves you wrong about something. His desire to embrace the simple things that come with life was contagious and had the ability to bring any person in his company down to Earth. He enjoyed his morning coffee, spending time at his shed, riding UTVs, and playing cards. You could always find him at one of his children's or grandchildren's sporting events, supporting his family.

Craig is survived by Barbara; daughters Lindsay (Steve) Buss of Lena, IL, Kelly (James) Patterson of Dubuque, IA, Brittany Wolf (Shance Siegeler) of Amarillo, TX; grandchildren Alexa Buss (Marcos Vega), Marissa Buss (Jason Drake), McKenna & Presley Patterson, and Shane Siegeler; brothers Bill Wolf of Milledgeville, IL, Dan (Sherry) Wolf of Byron, IL, and sister Deb (Randy) Vos of Sterling, IL; and many nieces and nephews.

He is predeceased by his parents, grandson Mason, brothers Alan & Orville Jr., and sister-in-law Ruth Wolf.
