Scott Craig born in Springfield , Oregon passed away peacefully at home in San Marcos, Texas on October 10, 2026, surrounded by family . A man of great character and unwavering compassion, Scott's life was a testament to love, dedication, and resilience. Scott was the beloved son of Richard and Ima Jo Craig, and he shared a profound bond with his late mother, Ima Jo, and his predeceased spouse, Kellie Lynn Horton Craig . Married to Kellie in 1990, they built a beautiful family together, welcoming three children into the world. After Kellie's passing in 2010, Scott was blessed to find love once more with Lori Oakley, whom he married in 2011. Through this union, his family grew as he embraced the role of a devoted stepfather to Lori's children, Jacob, Haley and her spouse Samantha, and Kaitlyn and her spouse Benton. Scott was a proud father to his children, Robert Craig, Allison Ross and her husband Collin, and Nicholas Craig. His joy multiplied with the arrival of his three cherished grandchildren, who brought him immense happiness. Scott is also survived by his father, Richard Craig, and his brothers, Steve Craig and Stan Craig along with his wife, Janda. His extended family includes numerous nephews, nieces, cousins and those he considered adopted children, each holding a special place in his heart. An alumnus of Carlsbad High School, Class of 1981, Scott pursued higher education at Lubbock Christian University and later at UT Tyler, where he fulfilled his dream of becoming a registered nurse. His career as an ICU nurse spanned two decades, during which he provided care and comfort to countless patients with dedication and skill. Scott had a passion for coin collecting, sports and history, often sharing stories of the past with enthusiasm and insight. His greatest joy, however, was found in spending time with his grandchildren, whose laughter and curiosity filled his days with delight. Behind a seemingly tough exterior, Scott possessed a heart of gold, fiercely loving those dear to him. His kindness and generosity left an indelible mark on everyone who knew him, and he will be remembered for his unwavering strength and deep compassion.
