Every line he drew carried purpose, and every project reflected his belief that well-designed spaces could uplift people. His career spanned many years with the last 14 at the City of Amarillo.

Craig was an avid gardener, enjoyed sports, and had a very competitive spirit. He loved the Lord and was a very honest and compassionate man who loved his family deeply.

He was preceded in death by his parents, mother-in-law, father-in-law, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law.

Survivors include his wife, Tammy Long; sisters, Dianna Errington and Teresa Huguley (Glenn); brother, Kim Long; sons, Brandon Presley (Amy) and Joshua Presley; and many nieces and nephews of Amarillo, TX.

Craig was in treatment for cancer and battled it with strength, courage, and dignity.

He was dearly loved and will be deeply missed! Until we meet again!
