Craig Stephen Courtney of Chelsea, Michigan, formerly of Saline and Menominee, Michigan, age 52, passed away suddenly on Thursday, November 7, 2024, at his home. He was born March 13, 1972, in Green Bay, Wisconsin, the son of Stephen and Norma (Conrad) Courtney.

Craig graduated from Menominee High School in 1990, and then went on to Central Michigan University before earning his Master’s degree at Eastern Michigan University. He worked for Creative Solutions which became Thomson Reuters in Dexter/Ann Arbor until 2016, and then for Parishsoft.

Craig enjoyed all sports especially golfing, and he loved gambling… he would shark you any day, i.e. pool, darts, and shuffleboard, you name it. He had a sharp wit and a sarcastic sense of humor.

Craig is survived by his two sons, Ryan and Sean Courtney of Saline, Michigan; his mother, Norma Courtney of Chelsea, Michigan; sister, Sheryl (Juston) Taylor of Cheyenne, Wyoming; niece and nephew, Sydney and Liam Taylor of Cheyenne, Wyoming; ex-wife, Lisa (Hoegler) Courtney of Saline, Michigan; and her family; step-mother, Gloria Courtney; step-brother, Chad Laurent of Menominee, Michigan; and step-sister, Becky Bauer of Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin.  He was preceded in death by his father, Stephen Courtney.

A celebration of his life open house will be held at the American Legion in Saline, Michigan (320 W. Michigan Avenue Saline), on Saturday, November 23 from 1-4 PM (casual attire). Memorial contributions may be made to Dawn Farms (https://www.dawnfarm.org/donate/). Arrangements were made through Cole Funeral Chapel in Chelsea.
