Thomas Henry "Hank" Craft was born October 10, 1952 in Wickett, Texas to John and Betty Jo Craft. He met the love of his life, Ellen Donnette Posey, and they were married July 29, 1976, beginning a long and happy life together. Early in their marriage Hank and Donnette moved to Victoria, Texas where they welcomed their first born son, Jeremy Craft. After a year in Texas Hank packed up his family and moved back to the farm in Wagoner, OK, where they later welcomed their second son Jason Craft. His joy in his family continued to grow when the grandchildren were born. Hank was a devoted Husband, Father, Pa and friend. He enjoyed time with his family and referenced his boys as his best friends.

His family will always remember that Hank was always up for an adventure and had no fear. He enjoyed anything with a motor, guns, hunting, fishing, woodworking but most of all time with his family.

One of Hank's regrets is not finishing his education, and he encouraged his sons and grandkids to do well and finish their education. Hank worked at Fort Howard in Muskogee for 20 years and served on the Okay school board for 10 years. He later became a realtor in Wagoner and finished his work career employed for the rural water district in Wagoner.

Hank was bold in his faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. He faithfully took his sons to church and was their biggest prayer warrior. Hank served in the church and shared Christ with others.

Hank passed from this life on February 14, 2022. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Thomas and Jessie Oliver, his parents, John and Betty Jo Craft and one sister, Vicky Bucy.

Hank is survived in death by his loving wife of 45 years, Donnette Craft; son, Jeremy Craft and his wife, Kellie, and their 3 sons, Cody, Noah and Luke Craft; son, Jason Craft and his 3 children Dylan, Caleigh and Camden Craft; 2 granddaughter in love, Kirstin and Hannah Craft; and one beautiful great granddaughter, Carlie Craft (Daughter of Cody & Kirstin Craft); sister, Jonelle Wiley of Texas; nieces/nephews and cousins and other extended family and friends.

Hank's body was broken from all the years of hard work that caused many back issues and caused him much grief, in the last 2 years of his life especially, but we know February 14, 2022 he closed his eyes in his home and woke in the loving arms of Jesus, healed, whole and better than ever. We as a family have peace and know he will be at Heaven's gates, ready to welcome us home.
