Mr. Craig B. Dains

The first time I saw my cousin Craig I was only 4. He was always so sweet, funny, and nice to me. For example, on Easter him and I shared some cheesecake that my Aunt Kathy made and we both smiled, it was so good. I will miss my cousin Craig, more than a bird misses his young when he goes to get food. God Bless you Craig! I love you. Love, Kayla aka: Budge

Meeting a nice polite young man.How nice he was to our family. Always glad to see us during the Holidays. You will be missed. God Bless you!!!

Craig and I met back in the first grade while playing baseball in Pine Hill. We were each other’s biggest competitors at the time. Always trying to outdo each other by more runs, hits, wins. It was that competitive nature that drove or friendship. Craig always brought out the best in people. Weather you wanted it or not. My last year playing ball in Pine Hill, Craig and I had been on the same team for the first time and our team went undefeated. We had drifted apart over the years, but was always a phone call away. I had the opportunity over the past 2 years to reconnect with Craig, and meet Melissa. We often talked about new business ideas how to change the industry he loved, “Music”. He had a passion for music and was the best DJ and MC I have ever known. Craig had big ideas. It was no surprise to me that he had been successful in life this far. Craig often said, “Work hard, play hard. And that he did. He loved his family, and would talk about how happy he was and excitement about the future. Craig was a man of all men, Wise beyond his years. He led by example and gave the best advice even if it was something you wouldn’t want to hear. Craig always had a vision that no one else seemed to have or understand. Craig was loved by everyone he met. If you didn’t like him at first He would win you over with his bright smile and funny jokes. He was a genuine person and most of all a great friend. Till the day we meet again, in my heart is where I’ll see you my friend. Rest Easy Craig.

To my Baby- a parent is not suppose to bury a child.It is not fair! I know I taught you life is not fair but this is the worst thing I have ever had to deal with. I will miss you immensely you are my hero and you will be so sadly missed and I can't tell you how many times I want to call you to talk to you to hear your voice.I promise your legacy will live on thru Craig Jr.I will be to help Melissa every step of the way! Remember Honey-Mom LOVES you and is so angry and upset over this.But one day we will be together again! I LOVE you Craigy!!<3

I still can rememeber when he was little and would sneak into my bed because he was scared. He was suppose to last forever, but life doesnt always workout how you plan. So we all need to stick together and be there for each other in these times. Oh by the way he would be very upset if i told you about him sneaking into my bed. everyone greivs differently but we need to celebrate the things he had accomplished, the contritibions he had made, and the life he lived. Craig we love you very much; everyone did. I know your parting like a rock star where you are. Just make sure you keep a check on us down here. Love you xoxoxo Charlene

Craig i cannot ask why and i cannot pretend to know why you were taken but it is gods will and we the meek must endure the pain when we lose someone. I was glad to have known you for a very long time. You made me laugh and between you and Matt Greer you made me laugh until i cried. I will miss you my brother. Rest easy and watch over all of us.

I know we haven't been able to hang out much but when we did you brought life to wherever you went. I appreciate the job you did with the bachelor party and everybody that I talked to remembered you because that was who you are. You knew everyone or if you didnt you worked to let them know who you were. I wish we had more time to enjoy life with you. I had total respect for you as a hard worker and making sure that your family was taken care of. I will try my hardest to make sure that family is still taken care of. We all love and will miss you. R.I.P. Craig

My prayers are with your family during this time of loss of a great person.

Craig........... where to start??? We may not have grown up together but I still always told everyone about you..... That I had a little brother named Craig..... You may not have heard me say it..... but I love you Craig!....... I remember your first Christmas..... and playing with a glow worm you got that year..... and then we did not see each other for another ten years or so due to circumstances beyond our control.......but I would like to think we tried to make up for lost time...... Taking you to an Eagles game and you being brave by wearing Cowboys gear...... or taking you to a Flyers game and getting you a Flyers Jersey and you being thrilled........ or Taking you ice skating and you thinking you could skate like a pro and smacking your head on the ice......... lastly I think my greatest memory is you being a part of my special day..... I am so glad for the time we had and the memories we were able to share.......I have wedding pictures and the video to look back on...... You were a great guy!!! and will be deeply missed........ Rest Easy Craig..... and watch over those you left behind..... God had bigger plans for you!!!

My good man you'll live on.. Always never forgotten always remembered

My deepest sympathies to all of Craig's family and friends.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family members who loved and adored him. He was taken way to early!

You were the love of my life.,and my best friend. You were my everything. A day will never go by when you are not in my thoughts. You will live on through your son, and I will let him know his father was the most wonderful man and was so happy to be becoming a father. I will miss you always. You will always be in my heart. I will be dancing with you forever my love. Love, Me

My thoughts and prayers with family and friends.

Wow, I can remember Craig as he was the D.J. at Mr. Summer's & Mr. Troxell's retirement parties. I also remember the music he made for the Cheerleading squad when my daughter was Cheerleading Captain. Wow what a talent. Kathy, I say to you know that God has clipped another set of Wings to be placed on this Angel. Scripture reads: Weeping Will Endure For A Night But Joy Will Cometh In the Morning. In the book of John 14:1 - Let Not Your Heart Be Trouble. In My Father's House There Are Many Mansion, Thou Will Go And Prepare A Place For You. Kathy, know that Thou has prepared a place for Craig Dains. Stay encouraged. Yours In Christ, Shelly Blackstone, CCTS - GTC

The fond memories of Craig will ease the pain a bit, but I cannot even fathom the feeling of loss his family is experiencing. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I met Craig back in 2006 as a fellow DJ. Craig quickly became a friend, he is one of those great guys that you feel welcomed and at home with no matter who or where you were. His laugh was contagious, if he laughed we all would join in; how could you not. Craig loved and cared for his friends and family very much, and it showed. He was his own Socrates, we had many conversations sharing his life philosophies. One that stuck with me is when he told me, "If you failed, and don't think you can do it; then you should probably try again. Eventually you will get it right." In life we work so hard to provide for our loved ones, be loyal to our friends, and to be true to ourselves; so that we can be remembered well when our spirit moves on from this world. Craig, you are loved and missed by so many here at the end, without a doubt in my mind I can say that Doc got it right. Rest in peace good friend.

Criag was a great person that I am glad to say I knew. He has left us with memories and stories that will last a lifetime. He will look down on us and smile with every memory we have and tell. We have your family in our thoughts and prayers.

God bless you Craig.

I send my thoughts, prayers and my love to all who have lost this amazing man in their life. Yet not forgotten. It was just days ago we all were together... When I was talking to Craig he was so happy and excited to be a dad, especially a boy. He was proud and accomplished of the life he was getting ready for with his family, talking about kid things like sports - baseball- and science projects he made of the solar system when he was younger and NY traffic being ridiculous and it sucked compared to 42 that was nothing compared to his work travels he said he seen a blow up dolls in the passenger seats to get through on the traffic with more occupancies lanes in another vehicle. He was like the leader we all followed, Craig is a unique man who will be missed but will be honored by the memories we all hold dear of him. Rememberance of a great man!!

WE HAVE MET YOU OH SO FEW TIMES, BUT THE IMPACT YOU HAVE MADE IN YOUR OH SO SHORT LIFE HAVE NEVER SO EVIDENT AS THEY ARE NOW YOU WILL BE MISS BY SOO MANY. YOU WILL LIVE ON IN THE EYES OF YOUR CHILD. I TRUST THAT YOUR LOVED ONES WILLL BE THERE TO HELP HIM KNOW YOU AND FEEL THE LOVE YOU HAVE FOR HIM AND ALL YOU HAVE EVER TOUCHED. REST IN EVER LOVING PEACE IN GODS HANDS.

Doc there are some awesome memories I have of you from the short time I've known you. The all time best was the look on your face when you thought my sisters name was pistachio. To many good times to even recall or mention. You were a great man a great friend and I know you would have been an amazing father. I am sick over the loss your family is suffering right now. You will never be forgotten. Your son will know what an amazing person his father was with the help of your family and all his extended aunts and uncles! You were very loved buddy. We all know your spinning in Heaven right now! Rest easy and watch over your beautiful family Craig!

I was so very sorry to hear of your family's loss. My heart and prayers go out to you and your family. It is so hard to hear of a death in the family, but when it is such a young person,it is hard to understand. I pray to our Lord to help us understand why He has taken him. I never meet him but knowing his mother, Kathy, I know he must have been a very special young man. I will pray for his family to find peace someday and I know he is just away and you will all be together again someday. God Bless you all and may your hearts find peace with our Lord in the coming days ahead.

God Bless you Craig. I will always remember our great times together and all the crazy, fun stuff we got ourselves into. We never had the time to sit around and talk about the good times cause you were taken way to early. I can only hope you will always be watching down shaking your head at all the stupid things I do. We will all miss ya brother.

This is still an asbolute shock to me Craig. It's been a few years since I practically lived at your house but looking back it doesn't feel that long ago. We've had some good times together and I am going to miss that. It hurts knowing you didn't get to meet your son, but I know you'll be watching with a smile. Your memory will live on everday of that little boy's hair gelled life. Missing you like crazy...RIP.

I was lucky enough to meet Craig a few years ago. I had finally found a good friend that shared the same passion that I did for the music and djing. Craig and I have worked many events together over the years. Craig was one of them people that stopped to care about you before himself. He would do anything for anyone. Craig will be missed by many!!! Rip my friend and god bless your family, melissa, and your future son.

We may have grown apart, but I remember the days when we were inseperable! We were best friends for years went and did everything together! I have sooo many memories fro m those days. Ill miss you! Love You Bro

Craig I remember when I met you and nick at phfd when my mom joined. From that moment for years the three of us were inseperable anywhere you were I was right there with you. From fights to parties and even in the toughest of times we were best friends. We made so many memories together and I will never forget any of them. We were boys no matter what happened whether it was a fight between eachother or a fight for eachother we fought together. You were the one that gave me the confidence that I never had and still have to this day because of you. We were there for eachother when we fought with our parents and got kicked out of our houses for a few days you would stay at my house when your dad got mad and when my mom went off the deep end I was at your house. You were a true friend even after we went our seperate ways we still kept in touch and when the phone rang we were talking like we never skipped a beat in our friendship. I have been and always will be glad to have called you my friend and will miss our conversations. Farewell bud you were one in a million. Miss ya and love ya bro.

So few words to describe one of gods greatest persons created ... You are the best Friend, Brother, Son, Hero, Mentor, & Father that anyone could have asked for. You will never be forgotten! Thoughts and prayers to Melissa, Craig Jr., Charlie & Michelle, Charlene, & and the rest of his family. Love you brother!!

Safe journey home my friend.

I remember playing as kids, I basically lived in the Dains house. Charlene was my best friend and she introduced me to such a great person and friend. He will be greatly missed.

Craig always succeeded in making us all laugh. Especially when Ryan and him were being comedians together, which was always. He was so full of life and had so much life left to live. Tragically taken from the world before his time. I haven't had the priveledge yet to meet his girlfriend/wife? but i have been praying for her and the baby. My condolences to Craig's family, especially to his parents and to the woman he loved. There are no words for the loss you are feeling. No one expects to see there children pass before them, and i believe is one of the hardest things to deal with in life. You are in our prayers.

Craig wow i was shocked and i am still in disbelief. I know mom will be hurting but your mom is a fighter and she will be the best grandmom to your son. i still remember teaching you how to play hockey and trying to teach you to rollerblade that all seems like the other day. rest in peace my friend

Loved viewing Craigs photoalbum..so sorry for those he left behind but looks like he touched many in his short life. Thoughts and prayers to you all especially my dear friends and neighbors Cindi and Chazz for whom I feel, for you never really get over the loss of a brother. Sincere Sympathy, Kathy. <3

It seems like in your short life you have loved, lived and enjoyed much. May your life give strength to those who you have left behind and may they honor your memory with love.

My deepest condolences to you, your son, and to all his family. I can't imagine your loss. I would like to share with you a passage that has comforted me through my dufficult times found in 2 Cor. 1:3, 4...May you find comfort in God, the "Father of tender mercies & the God of all comfort." Although, no one can understand what you & his family are going through, just know that the Almighty God does and will comfort you as He is the "Hearer of prayer."

It may have been years since we have spoken, but I know the world is a little dimmer because it has lost your light. I will never forget your laugh and your smile. I will never forget the energy you brought to a room. I feel sad for your friends and your family who will grieve the loss of you for the rest of their lives. I am sad for your beautiful girlfriend who has no doubt lost a piece of her heart. But I am most sad for those who never had the chance to know you. The world will miss you Craig. We may have lost your light, but heaven gained its brightest angel. Miss you always.

Craig was a vendor whom we worked with frequently. We always appreciated his attention to detail and his good service. We mourn this tragic loss and our prayers are with Melissa and his parents, siblings and friends. May God comfort and guide you in this difficult time.
