Mr. John “Craig” McCool, age 60, went to be with his Lord and Savior on March 18, 2019, at his home in Wilmer, Alabama. Craig was born March 8, 1959, in Jackson to Norris Franklin McCool Sr. and Bobbie Sue McCool.

He is preceded in death by his parents and grandparents.

He is survived by his loving wife, Carol McCool; his children, Robert and Jennifer; and his step children Tiffany and Christopher; also by his brothers, Frankie McCool (Gail), Randall McCool (Sue), Jimmie McCool and sister, Dianne Sibley (Travis).

Also by his grandchildren, Aiden, Justin, Eli, Mason, Jeffrey, Leighton, Triton, and many nieces and nephews.

Craig was a field service technician with heavy machines for 31 years. He loved his job and the wonderful people he worked with. He was a very hard working man and a dedicated husband and father.

Next to his family, his second love was fishing, and on any given Saturday, if the weather was right and work allowed, you would find him somewhere on the water. The corniness in his jokes was as big as his smile. He always tried to see the positive and was always striving for peace and unity. His life will always be remembered with a smile and he will be forever in our hearts and forever missed.

Funeral services will be held at Lakewood Funeral Home Tuesday, March 26, 2019, at 2 p.m. with visitation one hour prior. Interment will follow at Lakewood Memorial Park.
