Craig STEVENSON Obituary

STEVENSON, Craig Peter:
25 June 1973 -
8 November 2022
It is with regret that we inform you that Craig passed away at home in the arms of his devoted partner Jacky and dad at his side, following a long battle lost. Craig was a much-loved son Bob and Marie. Loved brother and brother-in-law of Michael and Cathie, Vicky and Tony and Kay. Craig was a loved uncle of Scott and Laura, Amy and Aidan, Leah, Glen, Aidan and Sarah and Erin, and had 5 great-nieces and nephews. Craig was considered family to Jess, Chris, Alex, Shane, Travis Amy and Ayla, and Jacky's family of origin. A private service will be held for Craig in Tauranga and a memorial service will take place in Nelson at a date to be confirmed. A big thank you to Brenda and Leeane and all the hospice team in Nelson who supported Craig and Jacky in his final days. Donations to hospice in lieu of flowers would be appreciated.

So sorry to hear that Craig has passed away a few years ago. He was great team mate at Suburbs Cricket and a mate outside the team. Taken far too soon. Deepest condolences to his family.

Craig, I am so sorry to hear of your passing. A few days ago I came across the photo below when you were counsel for my admission as a barrister and solicitor to the High Court in Hamilton in 2002. I then realised I had not heard from you for some time. Living in Australia, I don´t always hear bits of news.
Thank you for your friendship, support and all of the laughs along the way. Rest in peace.
My sincere condolences to Jacky and all of your family.

I know many people put on a brave face @ the time of death for someone close ~ & I also know some special words are supposed to bring comfort. But I do not know what those words are & I have no brave face. It is never easy going thru things we struggle to understand, but there is comfort knowing we are thinking about you within our hearts. Kind thoughts, kenn butler

So sad to hear of Craig´s passing - too young. Fond memories growing up and going to school in Morrinsville. May you rest peacefully Craig, and may your partner Jacky and your family find comfort in treasured memories.
