Obituary

Christopher "Chris" Shane Craft

February 7, 1977 – November 6, 2026

Christopher Shane Craft, 49, of Beauregard, Alabama, passed away on November 6, 2026. He was born on February 7, 1977, in Columbus, Georgia.

A proud graduate of Beauregard High School, Class of 1995, Christopher was a skilled locksmith by trade. He took pride in his work and was known for his love of sports, especially his beloved Alabama Crimson Tide. Whether cheering on his favorite team or spending time with those he loved, Christopher had a passion for the things that brought him joy. His Alabama pride was never in question — Roll Tide!

Christopher will be lovingly remembered and deeply missed by his family and friends.

He leaves behind his beloved son, Avery Craft; his parents, Tommy Craft Jr. (Jane Anne) and Lynn Sweeten; his brothers, Lee Craft (Angie) and Jason Craft (Ashley); his grandmother, Mary Elease Abercrombie; along with a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends who will cherish his memory.

He was preceded in death by his stepfather, Mark Sweeten; his paternal grandparents, Tommy and Geneva Craft; and his grandfather, Richard Abercrombie.

Though his time here was far too short, the memories he leaves behind will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. He will be remembered for the life he lived, the family he leaves behind, and the memories that will forever hold a special place in their hearts.

A memorial service celebrating Christopher's life will be held on Thursday, November 19, 2026, from 5:00 PM until 7:00 PM in the Parlor at Frederick-Dean Funeral Home.

Christopher will be dearly missed and forever loved.

Roll Tide, Christopher.
