Craig Daniel Baldus

Craig was a man of many passions and talents. He found joy in the outdoors, spending countless days fishing, hunting, and exploring nature. Spanish Lakes, where he now rests, was a place of peace and cherished memories. A skilled craftsman, Craig had a gift for working with his hands—whether building, fixing, or remodeling homes, especially his own log cabin. Craig taught himself to play the piano, filling his home with music and amazement at his self-learned artistry. He was also an athlete—a proud football player at Bozeman High School and the University of Montana.

Despite being a man of few words, Craig had a remarkable ability to make others laugh with his quick wit and unforgettable one-liners, lighting up every room he entered. His unique dance moves were a source of endless happiness for family and friends.

Craig’s love extended to his loyal dog, Lady Girl, who passed away just two weeks after him, ensuring they would be together forever. Above all, Craig’s heart belonged to his family. He was a devoted husband, a proud father, and a cherished son to Steve and Terry Baldus, a beloved brother to Leslie, Lindsey, and Chris, and a fun-loving uncle to Jackson, Grayson, Hayes, Reid and Max.
