Craig Branch Obituary, Death Cause – We are saddened to hear of the passing of Keith Craig Branch on November 4, 2023, and offer our sincerest sympathies to his loved ones. We take comfort in the fact that he is at peace with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ even as we grieve the loss of a beloved community member. Craig’s passing marks the beginning of his eternal life of peace, and those who were blessed to know him will forever be inspired by his example. The guidance and mentorship that Craig received from Frank Barker had a profound impact on his spiritual development.
Because of Frank’s constant discipleship, Craig was able to hear about Jesus and grow to love him. Craig saw firsthand how much religion changed his own life, so he made it his purpose in life to share the gospel with others. Craig chose to embark on a mission to spread the gospel through tennis as a method to show that his commitment to sharing the gospel went beyond the bounds of conventional settings.
He wanted to create a place for people to meet and worship together, and the Singles Ministry at Briarwood Presbyterian Church is a testament to that. Because of his persistence and dedication, the ministry was eventually established, which is evidence of his wish to foster community.
When we think back on Craig’s life, we think of a guy who actively strived to create a community where others may examine and strengthen their relationship with Jesus while also embracing his own personal spiritual path. When we think back on Craig’s life, we always keep this in mind. Let us honor Craig’s memory by carrying on his mission of spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ and the principles He taught us in the wake of his passing.
