Craig Nelson Jr. Obituary
In loving memory of Craig Nelson Jr. of East Hampton, Connecticut, who departed this world on August 14, 2025 at the age of 62. Craig leaves behind a legacy remembered by family and friends. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
As we bid Craig farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Craig is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
He was predeceased by: his parents, Richard Craig Nelson Sr. and Gail Nelson. He is survived by: his wife Catherine Egan (Cap); his sister Sandra Onderdonk (David) of Colchester; his sister-in-law Linda Lannan of Woodbury; his nieces and nephews, Morgan Kovach (Peter) and Scott Lannan; his sister-in-law Vanessa Rourke of East Hampton; his nibling Ashley Wolf (Travis) of Marlborough; and his great-nieces and great-nephews, Hunter and Greyson.
In lieu of flowers, Craig would ask you to pay it forward: buy someone a coffee at Dunkin', treat a favorite dog to a pup cup, or simply do something kind for someone else.
