Craig was born on August 23, 1961 in Warrenton. Virginia to Lawrence F. Andes and the late Ruby Legg Andes.

Craig was a commercial pilot, navigating the skies with skill and precision, particularly fond of flying the King Air. Together with his father, Lawrence, he co-owned and operated a cherished furniture repair and upholstery shop, leaving a lasting mark on their community. Craig was not only a master of the skies and a craftsman on the ground but also a compassionate soul who dedicated his time to building churches in Guadalupe, Mexico, leaving behind a legacy of faith and service. His unwavering Christian faith guided him through life, shaping his actions and touching the lives of those around him.

Along with his father, he leaves behind his beloved wife, Wendolyn, his devoted son, Jason, and daughter-in-law, Rose, and his cherished grandchildren, Amelia, Abigail, and Zachary.  He is also survived by his brothers with whom he shared an unbreakable bond, Kevin (Shannon) and Brian Andes, whose unwavering support and camaraderie enriched his life immeasurably.

Among his many blessings, Craig held a special bond with his father-in-law, Clyde Scott, and mother-in-law, Virgie Scott, and brothers-in-law Russell and Steve Scott. Their constant support and guidance enriched his life, shaping him into the remarkable man he became.

Craig was preceded in death by his mother, Ruby, and brother-in-law, Mark Scott, but his memory will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew him. In honor of his remarkable life, let us remember Craig for his kindness, his generosity, and his steadfast commitment to his family, his faith, and his community. Though he may have taken his final flight, his spirit will forever soar in our hearts. May he rest in eternal peace.
