Craig Robert Throndset was born June 28, 1955, in Grand Forks, N.D., to James and Lola (McKay) Throndset. He graduated from Langdon High School in 1973 and attended NDSSS in Wahpeton. Craig lived and worked in the Twin Cities area most of his life. Craig was a shining light in the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing him. His journey on this earth was one marked by love, laughter, and a vast array of knowledge. His passing has left a void in the hearts of his family, friends, and many more whose lives were touched by him.
