Kidney Recipient and Cancer Warrior
Craig was a valued part of the Parkwest Team and we truly miss his presence in the company each and every day. He was a true warrior who understood the value of living life to the fullest as he endured dialysis, two kidney transplants and battled cancer for eight years. Craig truly fought everyday for his family to make as many memories together as possible and he savored each and every moment he had here on earth~ Craig married his high school sweetheart, Kathleen, and they have two beautiful children, Justin and Nicole. Craig was blessed to walk his daughter Nicole down the aisle as she married her husband Shea, and was blessed to be his son Justin’s Best Man as he married Emily. They call themselves the “Hostert Six Pack” and truly lived each moment together as a family throughout the ups and downs of Craig’s warrior battle.
“Many of us fall guilty of losing ourselves in the day-to-day activities of life. As we go through this adventure of life, we are confronted with challenges and events that have a profound impact on how we live and how we view living. We lose ourselves in appreciating what is important. Of course, we all need to work to support ourselves and our loved ones, however getting caught up in the day-to-day noise without taking a step back, takes us away from living our best life. None of us are guaranteed tomorrow, we know this is a cliché, but it is so true and inescapable. Tomorrow is not guaranteed, but if we keep faith, it will be better. Life needs to be filled with enjoyment and our mission is to remind you to enjoy life by providing inspirational apparel. “Life’s Short – Live It!™”
