Craig R. Lovely
1984-2021
It is with broken and heavy hearts that we announce the death of Craig
Robert Lovely of Richmond Corner, which occurred on Saturday, December
25, 2021 in the arms of the love of his life, Natasha Lee. Craig was
born in Bath, NB on January 27, 1984 and was the son of Vanessa
Hargrove and the late John Lovely.
Craig is predeceased by his father; his grandfathers Arnold Hargrove
and Elvin Lovely; his nan, Dorothy Lovely; and his furbaby, Trigger
(aka Biggie).
His childhood was filled with lots of cuddles, mischief, creativity,
and play along with medical challenges which continued throughout his
life. Craig had an impressive intelligence and recollection that
allowed him to navigate adversity. With all of this, he always had
time for a sarcastic quip and could always muster a smile IF something
was funny; you could sure tell he was Arnold’s grandson.
Along with his other antics, Craig’s favorite offerings included
the choice of a “super nose ping” or a “super wedgie
plex,” both served up with his famous mischievous grin and a
sparkle in his eye.
Craig had a passion for his homemade medicine that he proudly produced
with his honed and most excellent horticultural skills. Craig always
knew that two was better than one. He would say “a bird
can’t fly on one wing” as he happily shared his gifts with
friends and family.
Craig loved Natasha with all of his golden heart and together they
were the definition of a perfect couple. With mutual learning and
growth, they became the best version of themselves. Their hearts
intertwined; they blossomed together.
He adored time with his nephews, Jace and Tye and niece, Karma along
with his furbabies, Toes, Jack, and Rocco. Craig will always be loved
by his mother Vanessa Hargrove of Woodstock, NB; bonus father Kevin
Kelley of Hartland, NB; grandmother Geraldine Hargrove of Bath, NB;
his brothers Eric Lovely of Woodstock, Sam Kelley (Jess) of
Fredericton, NB, Charly Kelley (Eddie) of Halifax, NS, and Jordan and
Brady Lee of Woodstock; his extended family including Sarah Taylor
(Dan) of Florenceville-Bristol, NB; Nora Hargrove (Tom) of
Centreville, NB; Sheila MacDonald (James) of Woodstock and their
children; Clifton Hargrove (Nancy) of Fredericton and their children;
Eva Calder (Joe) of Scotsburn, NS and their children; Susan Maxwell of
Florenceville-Bristol; Pam Delong of Florenceville-Bristol; Cheryl
Lovely of Woodstock; and Eiron Plume (Jeff) of Hanwell, NB, along with
countless other family and friends whose lives he filled with
laughter.
His family would like to extend their deepest thanks to all the
medical staff who have supported Craig throughout his life.
A private Celebration of Craig’s Life will be held at a later date.
For those who wish, donations made to the IWK Foundation would be
greatly appreciated. L.R. Giberson Funeral Directors are entrusted
with the arrangements. www.gibersonfuneraldirectors.ca
