18 March 1956 – 12 August 2024
A life that was all about love.
You are loved and you give love.
It’s always felt.
What a very sad day it was to loose such an amazing person, friend, teacher and healer. Our minds and our bodies will never be the same. His caring ways and constant search for healing us was amazing. At times it was as though he knew what was ailing you before you even spoke. As a friend we shared some nice dinners and lots of laughs with Craig and Joanne. We both really miss you Craig, and speak of you often.
Craig was like a grandad to Shanae and a Dad to me for 11 years. We are heartbroken and will always remember all the things he taught us. What a huge loss! He was an amazing person that was so knowledgeable. He could treat us before we even said what was wrong. RIP Craig, you will be sorely missed. Sending strength and love to Joanne and his family.
Craig and I shared a passion for both sailing and chiropractic! Craig was very innovative professionally and had the courage to implement changes which inevitably led to impressive results and happier patients. Many grateful colleagues like myself adopted many of his innovations. The world is a better place for many thanks to Craig.
What a shock! Craig made such a powerful impression at our seminar, where I first met him, in 2005 near Philadelphia, PA. He was full of great stories, many of which I repeated to others over the years. He enriched many lives, taught many people and it was all done in a heartfelt and compassionate manner. He will be sorely missed.
Craig you were a very special unique person + amazing practitioner. I have known Craig for over 20years going to him to have my adjustments to keep me together phyically. He was a kind /caring man, i remember tripping over so bad @ work 1 day + was in immense pain, he came to my home to adjust me , that was so muchly appreciated...i am missing your healing hands + great health advise, there is no one quite like you...go well my friend , rest in peace...always remembered...my sincere condolonces to dear Joanne + the wider families...
Craig has been a part of our lives since we moved to Tauranga over 10 years ago. He has helped all 3 of my kids to be the happy and healthy people they are today. We have had so many interesting discussions with Craig and Joanne at the clinic and the farm. The kids loved walking around the farm and meeting all the animals and you were both so generous with your time we felt more like friends than patients. You both genuinely care for people - your work is so much more than just a business. And there were several times where Craig welcomed us up to the farm on a Saturday for some urgent pain relief. Our lives have been so much better for knowing you. Our thoughts are with Joanne and Craig’s family. You will miss him so much and so will we. With love from Fiona, Hamish, Ollie Hugo and Tui
Craig, remembered as a man who always sort better ways and techniques with which to help others, such a sad loss for all. Annette
Dear Joanne and the extended family, We like many of those who where under Craigs wing were shocked that he had to leave us so soon. What an amazing man who could read us all so well, often with out us even saying anything. Always there to help us no matter what or how often we needed him to fix things! Always so great to stand and have a 'chin wag' on how the farm was, how tasty the avocados are, and any other topic that needed unravelling! You will be so very much missed. Here we were looking forward to growing old together. May your spirit fly high and connect in what ever way you can. Joanne our love and thoughts are extended to you. Geoff & Trixie Allen
Such a huge loss. I am deeply saddened hearing of your passing Craig, you have always been there correcting all our issues for nearly 20 years I really appreciate you & everything you have taught me, thank you. Your knowledge & kindness will be greatly missed. Fly high beautiful soul. My thoughts are with you Joanne & all his family & friends. May his light continue to shine through us all.
Dear Joanne and family I am so very sorry to hear of Craig’s passing.. I only had the privilege of one treatment with Craig but he made such an impression on me. His warmth and intuitive way nearly had me crying in that session as he wrapped me in his gentle care.. But I didn’t want to let him see that. Now of read these tributes I can understand the manner of the man. He was a gift to humanity. My sincere condolences to you all -family and friends. Min
Very Sad to hear off your passing Craig you were a great man, loved our conversations we had, still have the pic you gave me off your Grandads milk truck which I photocopied and framed of where we both grew up in NaeNae and Taita, also the time you helped me out and told me what to do when my back was playing up during COVID times. Rest in Peace Craig you top man.
I am in disbelief, shocked, heartbroken and immensely saddened. I adored Craig as a patient may adore a practitioner. For approximately 30 years you were there Craig, warm, welcoming, funny. Always giving. Back then you treated my chronic neck every day for a week for the price of one consultation. You have immense knowledge and shared it to our benefit. You had still so much to give and were taken far too soon. Will always remember and miss you. Love to Joanne, Sam, Henry, Jack and family. Xxxx😢❤️
Craig has been part of my life for 52 years - Best friend to my husband, Best Man at our wedding - God father to our daughter Leah. He was the 'best man' - we shared many happy memories ... we sat together just the other day. You left this earth too early, but, I had the strong feeling that you were ready. Go peacefully Craig , until we meet again.
We are all so very sorry to read the sad news of Craig’s passing. Craig had been in our lives for well over 20 years, he made such a difference to all of our health problems. In particular he worked to straighten Natalie’s legs. Natalie had a Keillands Rotation birth and as such her neck would have been twisted – not known to us at the time. She used to trip over a lot, by the time she was 12 a local Orthopedic Surgeon wanted to chop both her legs below the knee and re-align them, then once recovered from that repeat the same procedure above the knees. We were horrified at such a thought, I took his letter to Craig who said it was coming from her hips and spine. Needless to say he straightened her legs, which got rid of the knee pain for her. We will always be grateful to Craig for his expertise not only in helping Natalie over the years but my whole family. We will miss him dearly. Thank you Joanne for letting us know. Our thoughts are with you at this very sad time. Kind regards, Wanda, Gary, Natalie & Rachael
Craig was there for my in hour of need I most appreciated his support.. He will be sadly missed. My love to his family.
I was shocked and so very sorry to hear of Craig's passing. Taken far too soon. RIP Craig. Condolences to Joanne and all the family. Cheryl and all my family
John and I have followed Craig around Tauranga for just over 30 years. We took Rachel to him when she was 8 and she is now 40! He has been responsible for helping us through accidents and traumas and is the reason we are as healthy as we are. We have been missing him now we are in Masterton and I don’t know where we’d find someone with his knowledge and intuition. Our thoughts and sympathy are with you, Jill and John Batty
Dear Craig Rest in peace you clever man - your memory will always be with me, as I do my breathing and yoga stretches each morning. When doctors gave up on me, you brought me back to a busy, healthy life.
You were amazing. Thank you for just knowing how to put it all right. Thank you for all the wonderful chats and laughs. Such a privilege to know you. Craig I will miss you. I will always miss you. You were a brave and mighty warrior. Your battle is done rest easy. Annette
So sad to hear you've gone my friend- much love and best wishes on your new journey Craig. Will so miss you and am so grateful for all the help love and care you gave to me and all my family. So sorry for your loss Joanne and all Craig's family and friends - love to you all

The Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace" numbers 6 24 -26 There is great sadness in your passing, but joy in knowing that you found peace Craig. It's so hard to imagine life without you, Love you and miss you my brother.
This is so heartbreaking 💔 😢 he was a wonderful and caring man my condolences 🙏 to his wife family and friends MAY HE REST IN PEACE 🙏
Rest in eternal peace my beautiful brother. You always walked to the beat of your own drum.
I’m still in shock hearing that Craig has passed away, far too young with so much more to give. I have had numerous chiropractic treatments from Craig for over 25 years and have always been impressed with his methods of treatment and the relief it gave me over that time. He was the most caring man and would go out of his way to make time for you even when he was really busy. I know he will be sorely missed by many. Condolences to Joanne and the family.
A wonderful, entertaining, learned man who was always generous with his time and knowledge. Such a loss to everyone who's lives he touched. Cared for and comforted by his loving partner Joanne, the fight which he fought was just too much. Craig will leave a hole in the lives of all who adored him.
Randomly one day our adult daughter started having seizures - 200 plus a day! The hospital eventually sent us home - so home went went. To a house with hushed voices, and low lights. No guidance of where to from here. We felt lost in a forrest with no compass. We tried several different things but to no avail. Until someone told us about Craig. Slowly he got the number of seizures down further and further. Now they rarely come and she is aware of them coming. She is fully functioning and living a great life - thanks to Craig’s help. RIP and go easy on your next journey. Your wealth of knowledge and skill will be missed.

Craig you were an amazing man, thank you for all the years of loving care & help you gave me, it held me together. My thoughts are with you Joanne.
