Craig Neussendorfer was born February 23, 1980. He was a son, brother, and father. He
is survived by his Mom, Dad, Brother, Kids, Cousin, Nieces, and Nephews. He was born to Ken
and Susan Neussendorfer. Craig was the youngest child with his brother Wilfred being the
oldest. Wil and Craig were close as brothers and enjoyed spending time together. They both
always wanted to go and do things to keep busy. He spent his life living in Oriska, ND with his
family. Oriska was his favorite place in the world to be. He graduated from Oriska Public School
in 1999.

Craig worked many places such as Mr. Spindle, Quality Alignment, RKS Services, Kolloran
Trucking, M&M Farms, HFI, and H. Anderson Construction. All these places shaped Craig into
the amazing man he was. He was a hard worker and was appreciated everywhere he went. His
skills and talents will be missed.

During Craig’s teens and 20’s he enjoyed riding motorcycle. Craig and Wil also took an
adventure and had a race car for a couple years. This stage of life was Craig’s wild time, but he always made sure family came first. His life became a little slower with the birth of his first son.

Craig’s first son was born in 2008, Shawn was the light of Craig’s life. He truly embraced being a dad and loved it more than anything. His second son was born in 2010, Mason. These two boys completed Craig’s life. A little bit later in life Amber (Craig’s fiancé) and Hanna (stepdaughter) came into his life. Hanna might not have been Craig’s daughter by blood, but Craig loved Hanna as his daughter. He enjoyed taking her places, hanging out with her, and having her around. Craig was also loved by Amber’s parents, Joe, Lisa, and Laurel. They took
him in like he was their family.

The last 5 years his health decided to go downhill. He has fought a hard battle and was taken to early. Craig always had a smile on his face and a nice word for everyone. He was a family man and will be greatly missed.

Craig is preceded in death by his grandparents (Meg and Paul Neussendorfer & Allen and Dorothy Olson), a nephew (Montgomery Neussendorfer), many Aunts and Uncles. Craig L. Neussendorfer, 43, Oriska, ND passed away at Sanford Hospital in Fargo, ND on
