Phillip Lee Craft Jr. – Elizabeth

By obits

Phillip Lee Craft Jr. “Lee Lee,” 36, of Elizabeth, went to live on with his heavenly and biological fathers on Thursday, April 4, 2019. Born in Pittsburgh on Jan. 8, 1983, he was the son of Lori I. Mackey Craft, who survives, and the late Phillip Lee Craft Sr. Lee believed in the Lord Jesus Christ and maintained his faith throughout his journey on this Earth. He was a gentle soul and a kind, compassionate man who loved his family and enjoyed being with them and having fun. He had a wonderful sense of humor as well as a vast, random knowledge of many subjects that rivaled that of any “Jeopardy” champion. He loved Pepsi, pizza and Reese’s Cups, but most of all, he loved his children. Every day of his life, he thought of his children. His love for his kids was insurmountable. He will always be with us here and waiting for us there. His warm and unmistakable presence will be felt by his loved ones every day. In addition to his mother, he is survived by his wife, Sarah (Seigler) Craft; son, Russell Craft; daughters, Laena Craft, and Alivia Craft; sister, Lanessa (Anthony) Cappelli; and niece, Lilly. Private funeral services were held. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to JAMES C. STUMP FUNERAL HOME INC., 580 Circle Drive, Rostraver Township, 724-929-7934, www.jamesstumpfuneralhome.com.
