Craig C Siddoway, 82, of Brogan, passed away just as he wanted, in his chair at home, on May 27, 2023. Craig was born April 18, 1941 in Laketown, Utah to George Alden and Della Clark Siddoway. He joined Val, Nancy and Dee Ann as the baby of his family, a position he relished his entire life. Craig grew up on the shores of Bear Lake in northern Utah. His childhood was one filled with hard work, adventures at the lake, and hunting with his brother and friends. He attended school in Laketown, Utah and graduated from North Rich High School in 1959. After graduation, he traveled the Alaska-Canadian Highway to Palmer, Alaska where he worked on a small dairy farm. Craig returned to Utah, and soon after, met and married Lorene McKee. They were married in Logan, Utah in 1963 and spent the next 16 years ranching and farming in Canada and Utah. Craig moved his growing family to Brogan in 1978. While he tried his hand at growing a variety of crops and animals, the crop he was the most proud of was his eleven children. As an avid outdoorsman, he loved hunting with his children and good friend Larry. In his later years, his hunting rifle was replaced by a camera. He had an extensive catalog of wildlife photography. Whether hunting big game or ground squirrels, nothing brought him more pleasure than a drive in the mountains and the company of good friends and his kids. He loved the simple things in life; a visit from a good friend, a high school basketball game, a trip to a local hot spring, a trip to the hills to put salt out for the cows, and most of all, stories about his grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, brother Val, sister Dee Ann and granddaughters, MaKayla and Brentan. He is survived by his sister Nancy, his former wife Lorene, his children Reed, Leland, Bert (Terri), Cheri (Lung), Jeanne (Monte), Monty (Shelly), Trent, Mindy (Jeramy), Lance (Rachel), Joy (Steve), Annie, 23 grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. A Memorial Service will be held at the Brogan School on June 10, 2023 at 10:30 am MST. In lieu of flowers, the family requests a donation be made in his memory to Brogan Community Society - 3046 8th Ave, Brogan, OR 97903.
