Craig passed away on October 20, 2026, in El Paso at the young age of 57. He is survived by his loving parents, Susan and Ron Frahn; his brothers, Dan Frahn and Erik Frahn; his niece, Danyelle Frahn; his great-nieces, Raelynn, Paislee, and Knoxlynn; his great-nephew, Gannon; and the many dear friends he considered family. He was preceded in death by his grandparents.

Craig grew up in Ohio and graduated from Granville H.S. in 1987. He moved to El Paso in 1999, finding a community he would proudly call home. After receiving his real estate license in 2000, he dedicated himself to helping clients find their own place in the Sun City. Along the way, he built lasting relationships and gathered a remarkable circle of friends who meant the world to him.

Fun, outgoing, and always ready with a witty remark, Craig had a gift for lighting up a room and making people laugh. Nothing made him happier than welcoming the people he loved into his home. Whether preparing a three course dinner or a six-course feast, he poured his heart into every meal, making sure each guest left full and smiling. He loved discovering new foods and recreating them in his own kitchen. Those fortunate enough to sit at his table would tell you Gordon Ramsay had nothing on him.

Craig found joy in life’s simple pleasures: a sky filled with clouds, a warm sunny day, and a drive around town with the windows down, the sunroof open, and Enrique Iglesias playing at full volume. To Craig, even running errands was an opportunity to enjoy the ride.

Craig also had a special love for animals, especially his two beloved dogs, Maka and Buddy. They held a cherished place in his heart, and his affection for them reflected the kindness and compassion he felt for animals in general.

Craig will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. His warmth, quick wit, and generous heart brought joy to those around him and created friendships that became family. His laughter, the warmth of his welcome, and the memories shared around his table will remain in the hearts of those whose lives he touched.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in Craig’s memory to the El Paso Humane Society, the Animal Rescue League of El Paso, or the Licking County Humane Society.
