Craig Anthony Fletcher

Obituary
Craig Anthony Fletcher passed away unexpectedly on October 13, 2023, in Williams Lake, BC, at the age of 49.
Born and raised in Penticton, Craig was well known in the community for his hockey accomplishments (playing in both the BCJHL and WHL), as well as running the family auto wrecking business. It was here that fate brought him together with his soulmate Kim when he was 21 years old. They married in 1997 and together raised two beautiful children, Justin (23) and Paris (20). A tight-knit family, the “Fletcher 4” were often out dirt biking, snowshoeing, camping or just relaxing at home together. Six years ago a new career opportunity with Peters Bros took Craig to the Cariboo region. It was here he reconnected with his favourite pastime, fishing, and fully embraced all the advantages of small-town living.
Always the big strong tough guy, but to everyone that knew him, a teddy bear with a huge heart. Craig was outgoing and kind. His sense of humour and work ethic were admired by his friends and colleagues alike. Craig loved life and lived it to the fullest, whether he was tinkering in his garage or cruising around town in his orange truck blasting 80s tunes. Above all else, Craig was wholeheartedly devoted to his family—his proudest accomplishment was being called “dad.”
In addition to his wife and children, Craig is survived by his parents Joe and DonnaMarie, brother Jay (Tara-Lynn), in-laws Norm and Adrienne Hunchuk, brother-in-law Brian (Tracy), his four-legged best friend Penny and numerous extended family members and friends.
The hearts in our family now beat for Craig, as he continues to live through us every day.
A private celebration to honour Craig will be held in 2024.

The day he passes we spoke at 9:59am and was in shock to hear of his passing the following Monday. May the Fletcher family be blessed knowing that his amazing , gentle, kind and strong legacy will always live on. Our love to you Adrian & Jennifer
