Our loving husband, brother, father, grandfather, and uncle Craig Steven Webb, age 74, passed away peacefully on Friday, January 14th, 2022, in his home in Salt Lake City, Utah, of natural causes. He was born on October 14, 1947, in Salt Lake City to Wilford George and BeverLee Jane Rice Webb. He was a natural athlete and loved to play basketball and baseball, with a notable achievement of pitching a no-hitter in his youth. As a child he loved going on summer vacations with his family to Yellowstone as well as the family cabin in Millcreek Canyon. He had fond memories from his childhood of fishing and tubing in the neighborhood creek. Craig was also a wonderful and protective big brother to his sisters Vickie and Lisa.

Craig graduated from Granite High School in 1965 where he played baseball and basketball. He served an LDS mission to the Virginia /North Carolina mission, and upon his return attended the University of Utah. He was married to Patricia Ruth Butterfield in the Salt Lake Temple on May 25, 1972 by President N. Eldon Tanner. He worked for Kirby Investment Co. (later Allwest Credit), American Express, and retired from the State of Utah.

He was an avid fisherman and never passed up an opportunity to cast one of his many poles. Craig was involved with coaching his sons’ sports teams, and was equally proud and supportive of his daughters’ dance and cheer. He was a devoted fan of the University of Utah athletic teams and a season ticket holder to many. A mainstay for family vacations each summer was Sun Valley, Idaho, a place he loved dearly, but also enjoyed visiting Southern California and Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

He was known for his sense of humor and wit, and was a true jokester. He also had a sweet tooth. Craig served in bishoprics under two bishops and on the Stake High Council in addition to several other church callings. He particularly loved serving with the youth. Most of all, Craig was very proud of the accomplishments of his children, their spouses and his six grandchildren. He loved his family dearly and constantly sought to help them in any way.

Craig is survived by his wife, Patricia, sister Vickie Meyer (Gordon), son Ryan (Brandi), daughter Wendy (Brandon), son Mike (Lyndsi), daughter Jen, and grandchildren Kierstyn and Kaija Webb; Chase and Emma Fleming; and Bentley and Carter Webb. He was preceded in death by his parents, George and BeverLee Webb, sister Lisa Gay Hultgren, and nephew Greg Meyer.
