It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Christopher Paul Craigie, beloved son, father, brother, and friend, who left us too soon on June 7, 2025.
Chris was the cherished son of Paul and the late Clover Craigie. He was a devoted and proud father to Alexia Labalestra (Brandon Neill) and Jack Craigie, who were the greatest joys of his life. Chris’s love for his children was boundless—he found his greatest happiness in watching them grow, supporting their dreams, and simply being their dad.
He is also survived by his loving sister Tammy (John) Gardner and was a proud uncle to Clara and Connor Gardner.
He enjoyed reading, golfing, soccer and playing poker and cribbage. He was a devoted fan of the Maple Leafs, Blue Jays and the Cincinnati Bengals.
Chris’s legacy lives on in the hearts of his family and friends, especially in the lives of his children, whom he loved more than anything in the world. He will be remembered for his warmth, kindness, and the deep love he gave so freely.
A service will be held to honor Chris’s life on Friday June 13, 2025. Visitation will be at 6:00pm followed by the service at 7:00pm. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to a children's charity of your choice, in memory of his devotion to his kids and the joy they brought him.
Chris will be deeply missed, forever loved, and always remembered.
