Craig Patrick  Thomason
Craig Patrick Thomason, 60, of Navarre, Florida, passed away Saturday, April 7, 2018, at Sacred Heart Hospital, Pensacola.

Craig was born in Port Arthur, Texas, to the late Glenn Edward Thomason and Josie Mae Bordanaro Van Laningham.

He received a GED and was a Navy veteran. He moved to Navarre in the early 1980's and worked off shore and received his captain's license to operate or navigate passenger carrying vessels. Later, he was a carpenter and worked on many of the high rises from Destin, Florida to Orange Beach, Alabama, his last major job being on Portafino. He loved building things and turned this talent toward his hobby with HO trains. Craig also had a great love of gardening and his dogs.

He is survived by his wife of seventeen and a half years, Theresa Ellen Ogle Thomason of Navarre; his mother, Mrs. Josie Mae (Norman) Van Laningham of Fort Worth, Texas; brother, Gene (Cindy) Thomason of Navarre; half sister, Glenna (Roger) Makavoy of Lake Jackson, Texas; half sisters, Rhonda Fojtik of Houston, Texas, and Debbie Parker of Lake Jackson, Texas; and many nieces and nephews.
