Craig Imlach

Craig William Imlach, 54, of Meridian, Idaho, passed away Saturday, January 17, 2015 surrounded by his closest family, after a hard fought battle with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. He was born August 1st, 1960 in Chicago, Illinois to Richard "Dick" and Charlotte (Dye) Imlach. Travels with his family brought him to Boise, Idaho where he finished high school at Boise High in 1978. From there, Craig dabbled in real estate following in his father's footsteps before ultimately making a career in the baking industry, in fact, that has been somewhat of a family affair. August of 2014 opened the door for semi-retirement that he was enjoying before his cancer diagnosis in late October. Craig is survived by his wife, Irene, of 18 years; daughter Heather (Ryan) Miller; sons: Ryan and Matthew; granddaughter, Ava; brother, Jeff; sister, Melissa (Terry) Robinson; step-daughters: Melissa (Chris) Gries and Amanda Hart; step-son, Cory (Rebecca) Hart and step-grandchildren: Taylor, Marcus, Hayley, Mason, Anthony, Monique, Jayden, Brayden, Aeron and many beloved nieces, nephews and extended family and friends. Craig was a loving father, husband, and friend to all. His parents, Richard and Charlotte, preceded him in death. Visitation will be held from 5:00pm to 8:00pm on Thursday, January 22nd, 2015 at Accent Funeral Home, 1303 N. Main St. in Meridian, Idaho. There will be no service as Craig will be cremated and we will make every effort to honor his wish to have his ashes spread in Hanalei Bay on the island of Kauai in Hawaii, his favorite place in the world. In lieu of flowers, please make a contribution to the American Cancer Society .
