Obituary
Craig Andrew McGlothlin,
25, the beloved, only child of Joe and Neda McGlothlin, and grandson of Ken
and Hazel McGlothlin and of Bob and Mary Chapman drifted into God’s arms
February 20, 2014. Craig was born in Huntington, West Virginia on March 25,
1988, graduated from Spring Valley High School in 2006 and was currently a
senior at Kentucky Christian University pursuing a degree in Accounting.
Craig had a zest for life, loved to have fun and never met a stranger. His
sky blue eyes and a big, beautiful smile made him a handsome man on the
outside, but more importantly, on the inside, his kindness and generosity
attracted all who knew him. He deeply cherished his friendship with his
closest friends, Aaron Heck, Alex Idol, Carrie Oney, Taylor Strickland, and
Kyle Wright. Craig's innate golfing skills and natural talent made him a
valuable member of the Spring Valley Golf Team, the American Junior Golf
Association and the Top Flight Tour. He won numerous golf awards throughout
the years, but the most special was when he and his dad won the West
Virginia Father-Child Tournament in 2004. Craig loved the outdoors whether
on a golf course or skiing down a snow covered mountain or catching rays on
the beach in Hilton Head Island. His ever constant companions, Gilmore and
Beamer, two special dogs, loved Craig as much as he loved them. Craig is
preceded in death by his uncle, Roger Chapman, and cousin, Larin Rice. He is
survived by his Aunt Peggy (Peppi) and Ron Rice, his Uncle Phil and Claudia
McGlothlin, and Uncle Dale and Debbie Chapman and cousins, Joshua Chapman,
Seth and Jonathan Rice, and Erin and Evan McGlothlin. Visitation will be
Friday, February 28 from 2-4 pm and 6-8 pm at Reger Funeral Home 1242 Adams
Avenue Huntington, WV 25704. Funeral services will be held at Kenova
Methodist Church on Saturday, March 1, at noon, with viewing one hour prior.
