Condolences

  1. Although I never met Kraig, I know the pain you all must be feeling at the loss of your loved one. Please except my prayers to comfort you, even if just a little. I am Stacy’s (and Cory’S) Grandmother in Arizona

  2. To my honey bear,
    I cannot even express to you how much I miss you already. The house is so quiet without you even though there are tons of people here; you were (and still are) soooo loved. What I wouldn’t give to hear your voice just one more time or for you to come up and kiss me on the forehead. You will forever be in my heart and I will love you always and forever.

  3. I will never forget Kraig, he was always so polite, giving, intelligent, and respectful; a round about perfect soul. I was never able to repay him for all that he did for me and for my family, but he didn’t want to be repaid he just did things out of the goodness of his heart. My deepest sympathy goes out to all of his family and friends. We will miss him so much. Rest In Peace Kraig you made a difference in so many lives!

  11. I was very sad to hear about Kraig as I’m sure all of his fraternity brothers were. It is difficult to imagine what the family is going through right now and I wish them the best.

  12. Our son John, first introduced us to Kraig at the Sigma Pi house at Purdue. He was a wonderful friend to John. He will always be known to us as “one of the twins.” We can remember watching Kraig, Steve, Oliver, and John playing softball. It was a pleasure to have have known him.

  13. Jacque-
    There are not enough words to express my deepest sympathy to you. I have and will continue to pray for you that God will strengthen you daily.

  18. Kraig was one of the best friends I ever had. We first met in college and were friends ever since. We went on spring break, worked out, played every sport, and went on all kinds of weekend trips together. Kraig was helpful, unselfish, happy, hilarious, trustworthy, honorable, and kindhearted. Kraig and I have had countless wonderful moments together and he has had a huge impact on my life. I will miss him very much. Farewell, dear friendà

You will be missed very much brother. -Love Steve

  35. To the families of Kraig,

    I am so sorry for your tragic loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Every time we got together, we picked up right where we left off. If there is anything we could do for you guys, we are a phone call away. I will always remember the time when we spent the night by Auntie Kate’s house, before Auntie Kate and uncle Jim were married, and we were throwing the shoes at the cats under the bed.

  36. My deepest thoughts and prayers go out to the whole Powell family. I don’t think I’ve seen Kraig since high school. There was always a smile on his face, all the way back to the St. Mike’s days. I’m deeply sorry for your loss.

  37. I remember how shy Kraig and Kory were when they first arrived at Purdue. It was tough convincing them to come to visit Sigma Pi but once they did they never regretted it for a minute. Every guy in the house was excited to have “the twins” with us. I am so sorry to hear of this tragedy, Kraig was such a genuinely nice person. My prayers go out to his wife and family. He will be missed greatly.

  38. We are so sorry to hear of your tragic loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time. God be with you and your family now and always.

  39. To the Powell family,

    I am deeply sorry for your loss. Kraig was a great guy. Life sometimes takes unfortunate turns and I hope that the wonderful memories will help guide you through this time. I hung out with kraig and Kory after highschool and shared a few great memories. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you through this time of grief.

    My Sincere Condolences,

    Michael J. Lannon

  40. Jacque,

    Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. You have not left our minds since Saturday and you won’t for a long time to come. Just know we are thinking of you and your family.

  41. My heart goes out to Kraig and his family. My prayers will be with you. I think its been since about 8th grade since I’ve last seen Kraig but I do remember him as being funny and just a pleasure to be around. He was definately one of the people that I always thought about since grade school wondering what he might be doing or where he is now.

    Again my prayers will be with Kraig’s family.

  42. Kraig was a great friend, always happy and cheerful…..I will never forget the good times we had growing up messing around with our cars all the time and also all the fun at Purdue. My condolences go out to Ed, Linda, Jessica, Kory, and to the many of his loved ones.

  43. My deepest condolences to the Powell and Kajzer families. Kraig was one of the nicest people that I ever met. We shared some good memories at Purdue and I will cherish them always.

  44. Our deepest sympathy goes to Jacque, her family and KraigÆs family. We first met Kraig at Purdue where he was a member of our sonÆs fraternity; it was our privilege and honor to get to know him much better the past 3 years. KraigÆs friendly warm personality, his sincerity and his dedicated work ethic impressed us from the beginning. The bond of friendship that he and our son formed made us realize what a special person Kraig was. He will never be forgotten.

  46. On behalf of the Grand Council and Grand Chapter of Sigma Pi Fraternity, please accept our heartfelt condolences on your loss. It is always hard when we lose a loved one, but know that Kraig will never be forgotten by his Fraternity or his Brothers.
    John Kitch, Past Grand Sage, Sigma Pi Fraternity

  47. I will always remember Kraig with a smile on his face. I’m not sure that I can remember seeing him without one. He was just one of those rare people who made everyone around him happy….so unselfish, caring, and thoughtful. I always thought of him like he was part of my family. My heart goes out to Jacque, family & friends.
    Kraig–you will be sorely missed!

  48. Dear Linda & Ed & Family,
    We were so sorry to hear about Kraig. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.

  49. A true friend. Someone you can depend on. Someone who is there for you no matter what the cost. That’s who Kraig Powell was. I met Kraig first when he came to work in the GM Dept at Adesa. I could tell immediately that he was someone I wanted to call a friend. Not long after that we began working out together after work. All you have to do is look at Kraig and you know he lift weights. Needless to say keeping up with him wasn’t easy. There’s not a time I can remember that we weren’t laughing when we got together. Kraig was always good at making you smile no matter what mood you were in. Kraig will never be far from my thoughts. One of the few people in the world i can call a true friend. Honest and unfaltering in his devotion to friendship.
    Regretfully I am unable to attend the service as I am training for Iraq. Kraig always was interested and supportive of my military career. It was an honor to call him a friend. Forever in my heart and my prayers. I love you Kraig.

  50. My deepest thoughts and prayers go out to the family in this difficult time. I will always remember that smile Kraig had on his face as we greeted each other in high school; it was one of a kind.

  51. Jacque, Lu, Terry and Benji: We can not attend Kraig’s funeral, but know that we are there spiritually. We will continue to keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

  52. Jacque, I cannot tell you how deeply sorry I am for your loss. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.

  53. I will always have great memories of all the laughs we shared throughout our time together growing up in St. Michael’s and in high school. I am deeply saddened to hear of your passing. My sincere condolences to your family and Kory.

  54. We are so sorry to hear about your tragic loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

    The Mikrut Family

  55. Kraig will be missed greatly. Even though I had not seen him in some time, I have very fond memories of him growing up. He was a good friend who would do anything for you. I will miss him.

  56. Jacque,

    You, your family and the Powell family are in our thoughts and prayers.

  61. Dear Jacque and family,

    I’m sure words cannot describe how you are feeling, just as I cannot think of the words to comfort you. It’s been ages since we’ve spoken, but I think of you, and I’m especially thinking of you now… please get in touch, if and when you feel like it (amberlynnmartin@hotmail.com). I’m so sorry for your loss.

  63. To The Powell Family –
    My sympathy goes out to you! For the loss today, we all have gained so much by being around Kraig. Being in the house with Kraig for a short time, his personality and caring for others is one that all should follow. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

  64. I am so sorry for your loss. mY thought and prayers are with you that you can make it through. Stay strong!

  65. Craig could always bring a smile to my face no matter what kind of day i may of been having, silly funny things must have been pilled in his mind like clothes stuffed in a box because they would just come out of him. He knew what i needed to hear at that moment, at any moment. To Jacque, words fail to convey my sympathy to you, he was a great person. To Steve, I am sorry for your loss of a great friend, I will miss his laugh too. To Craigs parents and the rest of his family my deepest condolences. I pray that everyone will remember his smile and try to be a little like Craig every day. GOOD-BYE my friend.

  66. Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies for your loss our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time. Words seem inadequate to express the sadness we feel about Kraig’s death.

  67. DEAR JACQUE, TERRY, LU, AND BEN,
    WE CAN’T BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW SORRY WE ARE FOR YOUR SUDDEN AND TRAGIC LOSS. IT SEEMS LIKE SUCH A SHORT TIME AGO WE WERE ENJOYING THE BEAUTIFUL WEDDING AND THINKING ABOUT THE LONG AND HAPPY LIFE THAT WAS TO BE AHEAD FOR JACQUE AND KRAIG. LIFE CUT SHORT IS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND, BUT THE GOOD MEMORIES WILL LIVE ON IN YOUR HEARTS. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT WE ARE ALL THINKING ABOUT YOU AT WHAT I KNOW IS THIS VERY, VERY, DIFFICULT TIME.

  69. I was in Sigma Pi with Kraig. Many fond memories of our past together will forever grace my future.

  70. I am so sorry to hear about your shocking loss. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

  71. Our deepest sympathy in your loss. Nicholas is a student of Mrs. Powell’s.

    Lou Smith Family

  77. To the family of Kraig:

    I cannot remember a day that went by that Kraig and I did not speak on our cell phones, since he came on with Inspection Solution. We always had such a good time whether we were “working” at the auction together or just chatting on the phone. We had made some plans to go somewhere soon with the women in our lives, and I regret that we will not be able to that now. There was never a time that I hung up the phone with Kraig that I was not grinning from ear to ear. He always called me “idiot.” That was just his sense of humor, and how I wish he could call one more time and make me laugh. I will miss him dearly, and my heart goes out to his beloved wife, whom he talked about all the time. May God bless all of you during this time.

  79. My deepest sympathy to the whole Powell family. Being friends with Jessica at St. Mike’s, I was over at their home alot as kids. Many memories that make me laugh. Kraig and Kory never left Jessica and I alone. I will always remember him sliding down the slip and slide on the side of the home in Schereville making me and Jessica laugh.
    My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

  80. Jacque~
    I am so sorry to hear about Kraig. You two were an amazing couple and he will be missed by everyone. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this tough time.

  82. To the Kraig Powell Family~
    I am so sorry for your loss and want you to know that Kraig will be deeply missed. He was a dedicated inspector and had qualities that were rare among most men his age. I will keep all of you in my prayers and ask that God bring forth His hands to surround you and protect you as you heal through this very difficult time. Please call on your Inspection Solution Family if you need us.

    I just want each of you to know that I feel so lucky to have known Kraig, and so lucky to have witnessed the love that he and Jacque shared. You are all in my thoughts.

  92. Although we only knew each other thru the brotherhood of inspectors, mere words could never express my deepest sympathy. I am so so sorry.

  93. Deepest sympathies to the family and friends. Its been forever since I’ve seen him, but he was always there creating great memories.

    Rest in peace…

  94. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this horrible time. May God bless you.

  95. I am so sorry to hear of your sudden loss. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Although I didn’t know Kraig in highschool, I do remember that he was always smiling and always happy. He was always friendly. And I know that he will be missed by all who knew him.

  96. Kory, Jessica, and Mr. and Mrs. Powell,
    Kraig was a great person, its been a long time since i saw him but i have lots of great memories from high school. my prayers are with you all. and also to Kraig’s wife you must also have been a great girl for Kraig to marry you, and i am so sorry for your loss also.

    I was shocked to see this terrible tragity. There was never a time when you saw one without the other. We had some great times and you both were, and are still considered great friends. Our prayers are with all of you and your family.

  99. Jacque-

    Just wanted you to know that we are still thinking about you. We hope you received our package and our thoughts and prayers were able to provide you with some comfort at least for a moment. Remember that we are just a phone call away if there is anything at all you need, even if itÆs just a shoulder to lean on or an old friend to talk to. May you find continued strength and hope with each new day. With love,

  100. I don’t know why, but I feel like I need to express my thoughts even though most people probably will never go back to this site to read them. It has been 1 Year, 5 months, and 26 days since we lost Kraig and some people that knew him best have went back to “regular” living including myself on most days. I just wanted to say that I still miss my best friend Kraig. I am still thinking of you Jacque and the offer always exists for my help. I also wanted to say Thank You for picking out such a great stone to remember him with. It does as best as a stone can to show what a great person he was and the most important of many things he was a part of.

    -Steve
