I’ll never forget some of the last words you sent to me just 5 hours before the accident I got a Snapchat from you I won’t post all of it but you said “Every time I step on that truck I am willing to give everything for someone I don’t even know, all so they can have a chance to see Jesus”, and you did just that!! We will all definitely miss you here at Richardson. Rest in piece Cameron Craig until we see you again!
