In Loving Memory of Craig Lindsey Kimble

May 23, 1950 - February 7, 2026

Craig Lindsey Kimble left this world unexpectedly on Saturday, February 7, 2026. Born on May 23, 1950, to Harley and Edna Kimble, he lived life wide open and always in the fast lane.

In his younger years, Craig was a proud member of the van club, tearing up the sand dunes of Oceano in his Jeep, and pushing every car he owned to its absolute limit. He knew only one speed… fast.

His greatest pride and deepest joy were his children, Desiree and Brandon. He bragged about them every chance he got, and his love for them knew no bounds.

Craig was a man of endless talent who could truly do it all. If something was broken, he fixed it; if it didn't exist yet, he built it. From constructing tanks from scratch to transforming a tractor into a fire-breathing hot rod, from crafting custom fiberglass fenders to fabricating one-of-a-kind aluminum grilles for the club vans, there wasn't a project too big or too small. He even had his own private test-driving parking lot where ideas became reality and tires met their maker. Craig never met a challenge he couldn't solve, and he was always the first person you called-he’d drop everything, show up, and make it better than new.

Craig was preceded in death by his parents and is survived by his devoted children, Desiree and Brandon; his brother Dennis; his grandchildren Ethan, Elizabeth, and Skyler; and countless other family members and friends who loved him fiercely.

He was loved beyond measure and will be missed beyond words.

Until we meet again, Dad… keep the pedal down.

We love you forever.
