Craig Anthony Thiry

Craig Thiry passed away Saturday, July 22, 2023 at his home in Forest Lake, Minnesota at the age of 60.

Craig Anthony Thiry was born September 1, 1962 to Allen and Karen (Otto) Thiry in Rush City, Minnesota.  Craig worked for over 20 years in construction with Vollhaber Contracting and other construction companies.

Craig was very passionate about anything outdoors. He loved deer camp, fishing, hunting, and being out at the hunting land as his getaway, and if there was a Minnesota Vikings football game on, he would find a way to watch or listen to it.  He enjoyed his time with his friends and hanging out or working on projects to keep busy, always trying to come up with some “alternative” fix to a problem.

Craig is survived by his father Allen (Sue) Thiry of Grand Rapids; son Anthony Thiry of Fargo, North Dakota; daughter Danielle Thiry of Fargo, North Dakota; daughter in-law Sonya Kelly-Thiry; grandchildren Declan Thiry, Jaxson Thiry, Caiden Thiry; brother Todd Thiry of Twig, Minnesota; sister Rhonda (Dave) Route of Vermillion; nieces and nephews Joseph Thiry, Jennifer Thiry, Ben Route, Brad Route, Josh Route; many other relatives and friends.

He was preceded in death by his mother Karen Thiry; sister in-law Linda Thiry.

Father Chuck Brambilla will celebrate a Mass of Christian Burial for Craig: 10:30 AM; Friday, August 11, 2023 at the Immaculate Conception Church in Pine City.  A time of visitation for friends and family will be held one hour prior to the Mass at St. Anthony Commons area in the church.
