Craig Jeffrey Ogletree

On August 06, 2023 we went looking for our friend ( Craig ) whom we had not seen in a while , only to discover that he is no longer on this earth with us. We wanted to hold Angela & never let her go. So heartbreaking! Craig was a genuine guy. We will ALWAYS LOVE HIM. Rodney & Sheryl Ruff

The news of Craig passing is really shocking and devastating. I first met Craig as an intern working for the Ga Pardons and Parole Board in 1992. He became the head over the DOC mailroom after his dad retired. He hired me thereafter into the DOC mailroom. Craig made me love Atlanta. He showed my teenage self the real Atlanta. Like the young lady at the funeral, Craig bought me my first gun and took me to the gun range. Craig used to make meals in that mailroom for all of us. Music, gossip, and mail...that was us. Those were the years...my first fulltime job with benefits. His transition is truly shocking. Craig's team: Tiffany, Mignon, Ron, Roben, and Shaan...DOC Mailroom 1992 - 1994.

Craig was a great workmate and I always enjoyed the times we talked. He was so personable and treated me like a close friend. I greatly appreciate the chance to have known him and I count his passing as a terrible loss. If a man dies, can he live again? I will wait all the days of my compulsory service Until my relief comes. You will call, and I will answer you. You will long for the work of your hands.--Job 14:14,15

Ang... You and Craig had a love story that legend is made of!! If there is anything I can personally say of Craig's character was that he was a very kind and caring gentleman... Please hold tight to your memories, relying on them when your heart is hurting to help you heal...

Never forget/always remember, love NEVER dies!!! <><

I am only a telephone call away... Love & blessings of healing, Diane

Craig, my big homie, my brother from another mother. I'm really going to miss cutting up with you all the time. You were always willing to listen, and let me get my thoughts out when my head was heavy. You always showed kindness to people, whether they were in the circle or not. My deepest sympathy to the Ogletree Family. My partner has left this world and added another star to the sky. He is helping us all to keep our heads up. Gone but never forgotten. Rest Easy Brother, Nick Beckhom

Cont'd/Angela, may the Lord continue to strengthen you with much love, blessings, many hugs from Mr. Bear. I'm going to miss my friend Craig. Marie Pope

Angela, Craig was sooo in love with you & Mr. Bear, he talked about you often & was a true protector of you. He was concerned about people's families & how they were doing. I consider him a true friend & my big brother. Truly going to miss him! 😇😪

Angela my heart was sadden to hear that Craig had past he was the first person to welcome me and made me feel comfortable when I started work at Watetshed he became my big brother I will miss him dearly. RIP my brother love you Phyllis Brown

Yvette, my heart goes out to you in the loss of your dear husband, Craig. He was a very kind and gentle person. Anytime that I spoke with him on the phone, it was if I could feel his smile and joyfulness. He was always very kind to me and my family when we came together. I know that nothing can compare to the deep pain from the loss of a loved one, so don't forget to grieve. At times like this, even the gentlest of terms can do little to soften the intense sadness that is often felt by those who have lost a loved one. Remember my dear niece Yvette, that "Your strength will be in keeping calm and showing trust."-Isaiah 30:15. Much Love, Aunt "Nez"

Angela (Vette), my dear cousin. We are praying for you deeply. We was saddened by the news of the lost of Craig. From the day you first introduced him to our family, he was so friendly and funny, he fitted right in. May God comfort you, his family and friends.

Love Always,

Mrs. Tonya Young-Reaves and family

Craig and I lived in the same neighborhood. We went to elementary and high school together and his mother was also so kind. I was just asking Oliver about him the other day. RIP!

Ogletree Family, May the peace of GOD sustain you during these difficult and trying times. GOD is the same; yesterday, today, and forever more. A healer indeed. Phaedra Pruitt- Frederick Douglass c/o 1981

Craig was my high school classmate at Frederick Douglass HS - class of 1981. I met him in 8th grade and we graduated together. We were in the same homeroom for 5 years. Rest in Power Craig & prayers to all who knew and loved him.
