Friend&Neighbor ,Kansas City ,Missouri

I don't even know what to say now. Craig was literally like my favorite person in the world. He had been the most kind friend to me, my Shaun and my kids, always full of stories and jokes and always made me feel safe knowing he was close by or just nextdoor and would kick someone's ass. Then he assured me how well he knew how to do that and then I got more stories. Sometimes he would just come by to vent and say hi. Always in a hurry to get home but sometimes it took him a while to get out the door because he enjoyed talking with us so much. We learned a lot about him and was graced with so much wisdom and advice through his years of experience and by just being the neighbor he was. My dogs even loved him, inside and out he was just likeable, stubborn as hell set in his ways but a damn good man and friend. I'll never forget him. We will miss him like crazy. Have a 🍺 for Craig and appreciate him for who he was and what he stood for. I hope he was able to gain peace. I know he was surrounded by nothing but love as he left this world behind kicking and punching his way out is no surprise. He loved his wife. She was always the last word out of his mouth as he walked out the door on his way back to her. I am so terribly sorry for your loss and I am proud and blessed to have known him, ten years... That's a lot of stories. 🙉 A lot of laughs. It will always be too fast and too soon, love the ones you got... don't hold grudges, make peace even if you have to bite your tongue. 🙊 Rest in peace Craig Brian Rourick 🌹 You'll always be my most favorite neighbor. 🙈 Love, strength and prayers, -Cece
