Craig Richard Overby Obituary

Craig Richard Overby passed away at his home from natural causes on October 25, 2025. Born in 1957, Craig grew up in Bloomington, Minnesota, where he met his wife and made many lifelong friendships.

A gifted carpenter and avid motorcyclist, Craig also had a deep love for downhill skiing, live music, the open road, and his five children. Known for his one-liners, epic dance moves, and restless spirit, he was a fierce friend, a nomad by nature, and the life of every party.



Craig was preceded in death by his mother, Patricia Barker; his father, Richard Overby; and his sister, Nancy Flatt (Donald). He is survived by his former wife, Darla Overby; and his children, Brandi Carlson (Clayton), Katlin Nickell (Nick), Jakki Overby, Aurora Reinhart (Jebediah), and Dustin Overby. He is also survived by seven beloved grandchildren, brothers Danny and Brad (Debbie), and many extended family members and friends who will miss him dearly.


A Celebration of Life Open House will be held on Saturday, November 15, 2025, from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Le Fête Royale, 408 Main St W, New Prague, MN 56071. Parking can be found along the street and the side of the neighboring building.


Family and friends are invited to stop by, share stories and laughter, and raise a glass in celebration of Craig’s life and spirit.
