Obituary of Donald Roger Cracraft
Donald Roger Cracraft passed from this life into eternity December 20, 2020 after a battle with pulmonary fibrosis. Don was born on January 7, 1932 in Mason County, Kentucky to the late Margaret and Newell Cracraft. He was a veteran of the US Air Force stationed in Japan during the Korean War. After returning home he worked much of his career in the life insurance business and spent over twenty years with Kentucky Central Life Insurance Company.
Don is survived by his devoted wife of twenty-two years Wilma Bell Cracraft, by his son Jeffery Cracraft, his son-in-law Mark White, his stepchildren Teresa Norvell (Glenn), Jamie Tingle, Phil Spradling and Lori Ervin (Gary), and his daughter-in-law DeLea Cracraft.

He was preceded in death by his daughter, Karam White, his stepson, Jeffrey Spradling and six brothers and sisters.
Don was a man of the highest integrity, humbleness and was a true servant to all. We have all experienced his love for us and his witness for his Lord, Jesus Christ. He was a man among men. We will miss him so much but we are so thankful that God has provided a way for us to reunite with him again.
