Craig P. Grev, 66, of Byron, MN, died Tuesday, March 23, 2021, at St. Mary's Hospital, surrounded by his wife Karen and his daughter Christina after a short fight with cancer.

Craig loved his yearly fishing trip with his family "the guys," travel, reading books from the Bookmobile and the little libraries around Byron, doing crossword puzzles, playing solitaire on the computer, and Sunday night FaceTime with his daughter Christina.

Craig was proud of the many jobs he had in his life, whether it was working on their family farm when he was younger, at Land O'Lakes in Mountain Lake, Duval Mining Corporation in Chloride, AZ where he was also a volunteer fire chief, Kahler Corporation in Rochester and driving bus for ZIPS-dial-a-ride in Rochester for many years.
