Craig was born on March 12, 1966 in Rockford, Illinois, the son of Donald & Nancy (Lee) Homuth. He graduated from Platteville High School in 1984 and attended UW – LaCrosse where he graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in 1988. Craig was united in marriage to Natalie Tarczewski on June 3, 1989 in Oconomowoc, and later divorced amicably. He worked for Quad Graphics in Sussex, Wisconsin, for 25 years until retiring and moving to Bagley.

Craig loved his family and his dogs. He adored and was a devoted father to his daughter, Madelyn, and son, Dylan; he was also a terrific grandfather to Rose whom he would FaceTime three times a week to listen to her stories or play games. He loved music, especially, live bluegrass and classic rock. He always enjoyed a good beer, whether home brewed or imported from Belgium. His father and grandfather instilled a love of the outdoors at an early age, which he passed on to his children on family camping trips and visits to national parks.

Craig is survived by his two children, Madelyn (Joe) Sanfilippo and their daughter, Rose; and son, Dylan Homuth; and their mom, Natalie Klein; his parents, Nancy and Tom Ziegenfuss; five siblings, Robynn (James) Crockett, Chris (Linda) Ziegenfuss, Gail Ziegenfuss, Curt (Donna) Ziegenfuss, and Bart Ziegenfuss; and many loving aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. He was preceded in death by his father, Donald Homuth.

Nancy and Tom We are so sorry to hear of the loss of your son. We can relate to what you went through as we experienced our son Mark's serious accident in 2012 and we had to make difficult decisions. He was a year older than your son. We were fortunate however as he is still alive. Our thoughts and prayers go out for you and in some small way may this comfort you. God is surely with you during this time. May this help you find peace. God bless and keep you Lee Ann and Tom Lindahl

I am a classmate of Craig. I remember him as "Homer." Life is so precious! I had fun high-school memories with him! Also saw him at the reunion last year. My heart goes out to the family. I also ride motorcycle and had many close calls. See ya on the other side buddy!
