Albert Craig Yepez

Albert Yepez, or Craig as he was better known to friends and family, passed away on March 27, 2021 after a long battle with COPD. He was a graduate of Hastings High School in 1968. Craig spent his young adult years working in various factory jobs until eventually joining the Marine Corp and achieving the rank of Corporal. Upon return from the Marine Corp he reintegrated into civilian life by 'taking up drywalling' as a profession for many years. He enjoyed fishing, going out to eat, and spending time with his grand and great-grandchildren. He is survived by his four children: Marie, James, Daniel, and Tomas Yepez as well as 11 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his mother, Mildred, his father Henry, and his sister Sara. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you take a shot of tequila and hug a loved one in his memory.  Arrangements by Girrbach Funeral Home.  To leave an online condolence visit www.girrbachfuneralhome.net .
