He was affiliated with St. John's, Lovi Church under the ministry of Pastor Rox Costanza who became a dear friend with whom he enjoyed his many visits. He loved being outdoors and was an extremely skilled woodworker. Craig had a huge heart and was always doing for others. He was highly respected by many in the community. In addition to his mother, he was preceded in death by a son, Alex Keith Wicks of Conway. Surviving are his loving wife of seven years, Debbie Wicks; his father, Stewart Wicks; a son, Zacary Wicks; a sister and brother-in-law, Andrea and Rich Paganie; two grandchildren, Bryson and Brielle Wicks, all of Economy; two step-daughters, Chelsea (Shaun) Vidovich of Bell Acres and Ashley Vidovich of Economy; mother-in-law, Jean Brandt of Economy; a brother-in-law and step nephew, Bob and Dalton Brandt of Economy; a sister-in- law and brother-in- law, Brenda and John Antoline of Monaca, and many close friends.

As per Craigs request, there will be no public visitation.
"God Saw You Getting Tired"
God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be
so he put his arms around you
and whispered, "Come with me."
With tearful eyes we watched you
and saw you pass away
and although we loved you dearly
we could not make you stay
A golden heart stopped beating
hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best
