AggieDave 6 #1 June 11, 2003 I found out a bit ago, but this was just sent out via SD Houston's e-mail list. Blue skies bro. ***It is with great sadness, that we were informed that Craig Shelton passed away this morning(tuesday the 10th of june). Craig was a employee of Skydive Houston for years, alot of behind the scenes type work. We have no further details but will announce details on his services as soon as we know them. Our thoughts and prayers are with Craig's family and with Cheryl and her children... Peace and BLUE SKIES, CRAIG Terry ***--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Luminous 0 #11 June 11, 2003 I just got the email earlier myself. Still don't know what happened. Craig has been around the DZ on and off for years. Working mainifest, fixing things, being ground crew. He had made a few skydives but never really had the bucks to make it a constant thing. Years ago when I was new and flying my 220, I'd get on the plane, and Craig would get in the truck to come pick me up. He will be missed. Blue Skies Craig.

CanuckInUSA 0 #12 June 11, 2003 My condolences go to Craig's family and friends. I get the impression that his death was either an illness or some other non-skydiving accident?

Perky77 0 #14 June 11, 2003 I remember meeting Craig on a Friday when I got off work early to go jump, He was a really nice guy. Blues Skies, and my best wishes to his family.

freeflynick 0 #15 June 12, 2003 There seems to be a "Craig" at most dropzones......usually friendly but quiet, blending in, but doing a great deal of work that often goes un-noticed, but which contributes greatly to the smooth running of a DZ. Craig was a fun and friendly asset to Skydive Houston and it will be difficult to find someone to fill his dusty, hard working shoes.........
