Craig Sutton

With heavy hearts and joyful spirits, we celebrate the life of Craig Sutton, who was born on February 28, 1959, and passed into eternal peace on July 20, 2025. Craig was a loving husband, devoted father, and cherished brother who touched the lives of all who knew him with his undeniable warmth and kindness.

Craig is survived by his beloved wife, Denise (Tabler) Sutton, who was his steadfast partner in life, and his precious daughter, Rebekah Sutton, who filled his heart with pride and joy. He will also be lovingly remembered by his sister, Carole (Sutton) Jewitt. Craig was preceded in death by his father, Alan Sutton, and his mother, Loretta (Gibson) Powelson, along with his siblings, Karla (Sutton) Hood, Alan Sutton, and Randy Sutton.

A devoted Deacon of The Church Triumphant, Craig’s faith was a cornerstone of his life. He was passionate about serving his church community and found great joy in leading others in their journeys of faith. Known for his love of football, fishing, and cutting wood, Craig also cherished the moments spent with his friends and church family, cultivating relationships that were rich and meaningful. He was often known for his joking demeanor and contagious laugh which he loved to spread to other people.

Craig’s life will be celebrated on Saturday, July 26, 2025, from 11 AM to 12 PM, followed by a service beginning at 12 PM at The Church Triumphant, located at 113 Madison Ave, Newark, Ohio, 43055. Pastor Robert Caw will lead the ceremony, which will honor Craig’s legacy.

In this time of remembrance, we encourage all who knew Craig to come together to share stories, lift one another in love, and celebrate a man whose spirit will continue to shine brightly in our memories. BURRELL FUNERAL SERVICES is serving the family.
