In Loving Memory of Craig P. Linnell

In July 2022, Craig received the devastating news that he had a very rare form of adrenal cancer called Adenoma, which affects only 1 to 3 people out of 1 million. Craig fought with all his might, and after undergoing treatment and retesting for the adrenal cancer, his family received another blow. In October 2022, he was diagnosed with melanoma on the brain. Craig underwent treatment for the melanoma, and his family remained hopeful that he had beaten it.

However, before he could be declared cancer-free, Craig contracted COVID, which posed a significant threat to his already weakened immune system. Sadly, he succumbed to the illness and passed away on December 26th, 2022, leaving his loved ones heartbroken.

Craig's unwavering courage and strength in his battle against cancer inspired all who knew him. He faced every challenge head-on and never gave up hope, as is very characteristic of Craig. While his passing has left a void in our hearts, we take comfort in the knowledge that he is no longer suffering and is at peace.

Craig is deeply missed by his wife, Marilynn, his children, John and Cressy, his beloved dogs, Millie and Jamie, his sisters, Penne and Pam (Jim), his nieces, nephews, cousins, and close friends. In honor of Craig's memory & instead of flowers and travel costs/expenses to Bakersfield, his family has set up this GoFundMe to help cover his final expenses and support John’s & Cressy’s continued education. We appreciate any support you can provide during this difficult time.
