Ronnie L. Craft

Ronnie L. Craft, 63, of Newark Valley, NY went to be with the Lord on November 8, 2023 after battling a brief illness. Ronnie was born on December 18, 1959, a son of the late James and Esther (Carman) Craft.

Ronnie is survived by his beloved wife of 42 years, Michelle and his three daughters: Victoria Truesdail, Jodie Craft, and Amanda Craft, his grandchildren: Natalea Craft, Daniel Truesdail IV, Austin and Adrian Cottrill, Lyla LaBour, and Abby Cottrill. His siblings, Randie (Sue) Craft Sr., Burt (Pat) Craft Sr. and Anita Hurlburt, mother and father in-law: Harry Sr. and Joyce Orton, brothers-in-law: Harry (Cindy) Orton Jr., Daryl (Jennie) Orton, and sisters-in-law: Cheryl Orton Stevens and Candy Orton.

In addition to his parents, Ronnie was predeceased by his siblings: JoAnne Stanton, Janice Decker, Budd Craft Sr., Neal Craft Sr., Fred Craft, Eva Swansbrough, Daniel Craft, and James Mills.

Ronnie was a loving, caring family-man who deeply loved his family and friends with every ounce of his heart. He was always willing to help anyone in need and would try to the best of his ability. Ronnie put his whole heart into everything that he did. He and his twin Randie had a passion for bowling and horseshoes; and they were known as the “bare-footed twins.” Ron will be remembered for his jokes and his laughs, which brought a smile to anyone near him.

Services for Ronnie will be held at a later date. The MacPherson Funeral Home is assisting the family with arrangements at this time. Memories and condolences can be shared in Ronnie’s guestbook at macphersonfh.com
