n Saturday, February 22, 2025, the world lost a beloved husband, father, and missionary. Craig Hauquitz tragically passed away in a fatal bike accident, leaving behind a legacy of love, service, and dedication. Craig is survived by his cherished wife, Bryn, and their six children: Keenan, Elliot, Lucy, Juliette, and twins Zeke and Silas. His passing has deeply affected not only his family but also the many lives he touched throughout his journey as a long-term missionary.
Craig and Bryn dedicated their lives to the service of the Lord, spending years on the Ivory Coast as missionaries, where they worked tirelessly to help spread the message of Christ. Their commitment to the Lord and to the people of the Ivory Coast was unwavering, and the impact of their work will be felt for generations to come. In addition to his spiritual leadership, Craig’s warm and loving spirit made him a friend to many, both in the mission field and beyond.
The Hauquitz family returned to the United States two years ago, after they faced the challenge of addressing medical needs for their son. This transition was not an easy one, as their hearts remained deeply connected to the mission field and the work they had been doing. Yet, through it all, Craig remained steadfast in his faith, trusting that God’s plan was greater than any obstacle they might face.
Craig’s life was a beautiful reflection of his deep love for his family and his commitment to living out his faith in action. His heart for people and his dedication to serving others will not be forgotten. His work in the Ivory Coast, where he and Bryn helped to bring light to dark places, leaves a lasting imprint on the lives of all who knew him.
While his passing leaves a deep void, his family and friends can take comfort in knowing that Craig is now with the Lord he loved and served so faithfully. The Hauquitz family requests prayers for strength and peace during this difficult time. As they grieve their loss, they also celebrate the life of a man who poured his heart into every aspect of his life and shared the love of Christ with all he encountered.
