FAMILY MEMORIES: Kraig was a very talented young man who had a very bright future ahead of him. He worked at Blade Computers after completing school and built computers for several hundred residents in the Gulf Coast area. He also worked very hard in the last two years to help rebuild the Gulf Coast from the disastrous hurricane (Katrina).

He also was very talented in music and composed several music tracks that were of record label quality. He was heavily involved in the sport of paintball and rose quickly to being one of the best players in the Gulf Coast area, training with professionals in the sport. He was poised to be one of the best players in this national and global sport.

Kraig was a member of the nationally sponsored Diesel Kids of Ocean Springs. Kraig participated and contributed to the entire paintball family in the Southeast region. Kraig will sadly be missed by all that had the privilege of knowing and loving him.
