Craig E. Sayers of Chelsea, age 73, passed away peacefully on Saturday, April 24, 2021 at Henry Ford Allegiance Hospice in Jackson.
He was born Feb. 22, 1948 in Ann Arbor, the son of Edward L. and Virginia “Ginny” (Utsler) Sayers, Sr.
Craig graduated from Ann Arbor High School in 1966, and took classes at Washtenaw Community College. He worked as a mechanic for several years, and then became a construction manager for R W Mercer in Jackson, retiring in March of 2012.
Craig bowled in several bowling leagues at Chelsea Lanes, Belmark, and Colonial. He completely restored his ‘55 Chevy and was active with Chelsea Classic Cruisers. He was a Boy Scout leader with Troop 425. Craig was a youth baseball coach in Chelsea, and enjoyed watching baseball, never missing one of Brian’s games. He also enjoyed fishing, golf, camping and traveling. As a handyman, he could fix anything, and his tools and projects were always neat and organized.

The family will receive friends at Cole Funeral Chapel Wednesday, April 28, but due to COVID restrictions, we are asking people to call the funeral home at 475-1551 to schedule a time to come to visitation.
