Craig Stuedemann

Craig Willis Stuedemann was born on January 5, 1960, in Glencoe to Willis and Shirley (Stuedemann) Stuedemann. He married Teresa Melby on November 20, 1982. To this union were born sons Jesse and Damen and daughters Kimberly and Heather. For the past 15 years, Craig has been living in Sioux City, Iowa. While in Sioux City, Craig worked for different places. He drove semi-truck over the road for 20+ years, worked for Labor Ready, and farmers helping during harvest and planting. Craig enjoyed working on cars, spending time with friends, bowling, playing bingo, spending time at the casino, and playing computer games. He loved spending time with his significant other Kristie Heibult for the past 15 years. He also spent time with his adopted nieces Hannah and Allyson. Craig was a fan of the Minnesota Vikings and Twins. We all forgave him for that over time. He loved to argue with anyone about who was better Jeff Gordon or Dale Earnhardt Jr. We all know that it is Dale! Craig died on Thursday, September 22, 2011 at St. Luke’s Hospital in Sioux City, Iowa. He is survived by his sons Jesse and Damen, daughters Kimberly and Heather, mother Shirley of Marshall, sisters Joyce (and Joel) Turgeon of Milroy, Lorie (and John) Thooft of Marshall, brother Kevin Stuedemann of Marshall, four grandchildren, one nephew, four nieces, one great-nephew and one great niece and significant other Kristie Heibult. He was preceded in death by his dad Willis, granddaughter Annabelle and by his grandparents.
