Richard Craghead

Richard Craghead

Richard Craghead of Clarkdale, went to his eternal home on Tuesday April 23, 2013, after a long courageous battle with cancer.

Richard was born on August 26, 1959 in Monterey, California, the son of Richard and Joyce Craghead . He had lived in numerous places around the southwest including Las Vegas, Kingman, Heber and his last years in the Cottonwood, Clarkdale area.

Richard was a proud member of Verde Valley Moose Lodge 1449. He enjoyed fishing early mornings after work with his fellow overnight stockers from Wal-Mart 1299, betting on a good horse and winning while drinking an ice cold beer. His shining star and little buddy was his grandson Josh. Richard always had a way to make you laugh no matter how bad your day was going. He also had a very special place in his heart for his Wal-Mart family.

Richard was a very loyal friend who would do anything he could to help you, and being a friend of his was an honor for anyone who knew him

Richard is survived by his loving wife Sandy, his daughter Jennifer (Josh); son David: grandsons Josh and Ivan; all of Clarkdale; his father Richard of Bullhead City, and sister Sherrie of Phoenix.

Richard’s mother Joyce preceded him in death.

Services will be held May 4, 2013 at the Verde Valley Moose Lodge beginning at 1pm. The lodge is located at 1051 S. Broadway, Clarkdale AZ. Richard has requested that his ashes be placed with his Mother in Heber, AZ.

Memorial contributions may be made to Verde Valley Moose Lodge Endowment Fund (earmarked Mooseheart) P.O Box 698, Clarkdale AZ 86324
