Obituary for Craig Estave, Sr.
CRAIG HENRY ESTAVE, SR., AGE 49

And a resident of the Clifton Community near Franklinton passed away peacefully at his home early Tuesday morning March 3, 2020 after a courageous battle with cancer. He was a 1989 graduate of Franklinton High School that loved hunting, fishing and the outdoors. Craig worked for many years with the Hood Automotive Group, most recently as the service director for both the Covington and Amite locations. Craig loved to cook for his friends and family. He enjoyed going to the ballgames of his children and grandchildren and had even coached little league baseball for several years. He cherished the time spent with his family and will be lovingly missed by all that knew him.
