Larry Craddock, a beloved member of the Williston, SC community, passed away on September 25, 2024, at the age of 70. He spent his final days in Augusta University Hospital after a long battle with injuries sustained in a pedestrian accident earlier this year. The news of his passing has left his family and friends heartbroken, as they now face the challenge of arranging his burial.
Larry Craddock grew up on a farm in Denmark, SC, with his six siblings. He was the youngest in the family, raised by his parents Molly and James Craddock. After completing his education at Denmark-Olar High School, where he also drove a school bus and played football, Larry pursued higher education at USC Salkehatchie and later at the University of South Carolina, majoring in business and science. Larry was known in his community as a skilled electrician and a man who could fix anything. He enjoyed fishing, bird and deer hunting, and unwinding to music after a long day.
Larry is survived by his two sons, Larry D. Craddock Jr. and Kamon M. Craddock, as well as his three step-sons, Wiley J. Kneece, Brian K. Kneece, and Kyle L. Tuten. Larry also had one grandchild, Caroline R. Craddock, who was born just a day after his passing, on September 26, 2024.
Kamon Craddock, his son, has organized a fundraiser to cover the burial costs. The family aims to raise $4,500, the minimum amount required for a proper burial, though the total costs are estimated to reach $8,000. The community has already begun to rally around the family, with donations coming in to help cover the expenses. Kind contributions have been made by Scottie Ray, who donated $500, Levi Burger with $25, and others such as Mark Bodiford and Kelton Zorn, who also showed their support.
Mileena Mariah and Diane Harrison have shared heartfelt messages on social media, encouraging others to support the Craddock family during this difficult time.
We are deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Larry Craddock. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. May he rest in peace, and may his family find strength and comfort during this heartbreaking time.
