Craig Cunningham, 75, passed away peacefully on March 17, 2022 at home in Georgetown, TX. He was born September 5, 1946 in Fairfield, IL. He is the son of Cecil & Virgie (Shaw) Cunningham.

Craig graduated from Fairfield High School in 1964 and went on to earn a Bachelors Degree from Western Illinois University in Macomb, Illinois. Craig then served In the Army for four years. He was an Laotian linguist in Thailand. After military service he started his career as a Financial Advisor and went on to work for over 40 years in his field.

Craig married Lynn (King) Cunningham on February 19, 2000 in Puerto Rico. They were high school sweethearts and reconnected many years later.

Craig is preceded in death by his father, Cecil Cunningham; mother, Virgie (Shaw) Cunningham; and brother, Charles Keith Cunningham.

Craig was a loving son, husband, father, brother, uncle and friend to many people. He was always the one to make you laugh. He was always there if you needed someone to talk to. His passion was to help other people. He loved to play baseball and tennis in his younger years, but his favorite was golf. He could watch golf on TV all day when it was on. He also loved his crown and coke to celebrate anything (or as Craig would say "Adult Beverage"). Craig was a DJ in his younger years with his own following as CC's Rock and Roll Revival in Macomb, Illinois.

Craig also was involved in many charities, including Toast Master, Discovery of Austin, Elk's charities, VFW, Abundant Life Foundation.
