Craig was born October 23, 1950 in Chadron, NE to Louie and Priscilla (Reid) Matthesen. He went to elementary, high school and college in Chadron and was a Legion baseball coach during the summer. After college graduation, he worked as a sports writer for the Scottsbluff Herald and Chadron Record and was, for a period of time, the manager of the ChadronState Park store. Craig later moved to eastern SD, where he owned and operated video stores in both Huron and Mitchell. After retirement at age 50, he lived in Las Vegas, NV and also had a summer home in HillCity. Not satisfied to be completely retired, Craig recently purchased a convenience store/gas station near Rapid City. He was a sports fan, especially of the Nebraska Cornhuskers, and enjoyed trips to many professional baseball games.
Craig is survived by sister Virginia (Larry) Hagemeier of Rochester, NY; brother Larry (Jean) Matthesen of Custer, SD; nephew Kirk (Tammy) Hagemeier and children of Centreville, VA; and niece Kristin (Joe) Fiannaca and children of Rochester, NY.
