On the afternoon of March 3, 2025, Craig Ross Sugg passed away at his home in Erie, Colorado, surrounded by his loving family. Craig was a twin born to Everett Lee Sugg and Martha Lee Sugg in Denver, Colorado on April 30, 1956.
Craig is survived by his wife of 42 years, Lorraine Sugg (nee Gutierrez), his children Weston Sugg and Brandon Sugg, his eldest brother Philip Martin Sugg, and several in-laws, nephews, nieces, and cousins. Craig is preceded in death by his twin brother, Monte Kent Sugg, and his parents.
Craig’s family moved to Boulder, Colorado in 1961 where he attended Boulder Valley Schools and graduated from Fairview High School in 1974. He and Lorraine lived in Louisville, CO for over 30 years before moving to Erie. Craig worked for many years as a manufacturing welder/brazer.
Craig was known for his sense of humor and love for pranks. His greatest joy was his family and he appreciated the care he received from his youngest son, Brandon, in his last years. He enjoyed sports, especially CU football and basketball, and watching his sons play lacrosse and football. He was a wonderful cook, grill master and foodie.
Craig loved all outdoor activities, boy scouts, camping, fishing and exploring. He spent many summers at Holts Guest Ranch in Tin Cup, Colorado, with his family and extended family. The Sugg family cabin in Big Elk Meadows was a special place for him and his family. Craig, Lorraine and the boys had fond memories of ice skating on Rainbow Lake, sledding, fishing, hiking, holidays and playing board games and cards with family and friends.
They traveled from the West Coast to the East Coast, Mexico, Maui and Europe. Craig was very spiritual, a quiet conservative, loved music, and had a beautiful baritone voice, singing in the show choir Excalibur in high school.
A collector of many things, Craig’s family will now be the keepers of his collections and will continue to treasure their memories of him. He is dearly missed.
Craig’s celebration of life will be a private family occasion in late summer. A special thank you to TRU Hospice in Lafayette, CO, for their care in his final months. Please consider donating to Sister Carmen Community Food Bank, 655 Aspen Ridge Dr. Lafayette, CO 80026, or the American Lung Association.
Uncle Craig, you will be missed!
Craig was a great friend, and I’ll always cherish the memories we made together as teenagers. From the laughter we shared to the adventures we had, those times will always hold a special place in my heart. He had a way of making life more fun, and I’m grateful to have known him. Rest in peace, old friend—thanks for the memories.

We are deeply saddened by the loss of Craig. He was a wonderful brother-in-law, whose witty sense of humor and vast knowledge left a lasting impression on us. Craig had a love for the outdoors, and you could often find him sitting outside, grilling, or simply taking in the tranquility of the night. Forever in our hearts. Sending love and prayers to Lorraine, Weston and Brandon.
