Craig Lee Kellner

Craig Lee Kellner, 74, passed away on October 7, 2026.

Born on March 23, 1952, Craig was known for his friendly and outgoing nature, along with a sharp sense of humor that made him memorable to those who knew him. He was, by all accounts, a bit of a smart ass in the most affectionate sense, bringing laughter and personality to everyday life. He enjoyed doing puzzles and loved to tinker, especially with woodworking and household carpentry projects, always finding satisfaction in working with his hands and improving the spaces around him.

Craig found great joy in the outdoors. He loved the mountains, appreciated nature, and especially enjoyed seeing the deer in his yard. Whether taking in the beauty of the natural world or simply spending time outside, he was happiest where he could enjoy the peace and wonder of the outdoors.

At the center of Craig’s life was his family. He was happily married to Judy Kellner for 46 years, a lasting partnership that stood as a testament to love and devotion. He is survived by his wife, Judy Kellner; his son, Cale Kellner and his wife, Stephanie; his daughter, Chaundra Kellner and Raymond Georg; his four grandchildren, Katherine Kellner, Gabrielle Kellner, Jared Kellner, and Justin Kellner; and a host of other family members and friends who will remember him with affection.

He was preceded in death by his father, Elmer Kellner, and his mother, Rosella Kellner.

Craig Lee Kellner will be remembered for his warmth, humor, love of family, and deep appreciation for the outdoors. His presence will be dearly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
