Craig Kuhns, age 46, passed away peacefully on Monday, January 7, 2019 surrounded by family and loved ones. He was born on February 1, 1972, to Beverly and Mike Kuhns in Salem. He is survived by his parents, brother Ryan, sister and brother-in-law, Kristin and Shane Britton, nephew Aidan, and his partner Steve Reed. He also leaves behind his beloved dog Blanca, and his cat Paris.
Craig loved cars from an early age and could name the brand of nearly every car on the road. His pride and joy was a 1955 Chevrolet 2-door that he and his Dad restored to perfection.
For the past 19 years, Craig was a beloved bus driver for the Beaverton School District, and he loved his kids. Traveling abroad and sometimes closer to home in a vintage trailer he restored with his brother and dad brought him a great deal of joy. He was very family oriented and loved big holiday gatherings. Naturally sentimental, he saved birthday cards, antique grape clusters, teapots, and various items from grandparents.
Craig will be greatly missed by his large extended family and many close friends. A Celebration of Life will be held on January 26, 2019 from 1:00pm – 4:00pm at the Oregon Garden Resort. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his name to the Oregon Humane Society.
Happy Birthday, Craigie! Love you and miss you so much!

Well I wonder if the let me keep on saying stuff because I need to. How are you? I had this crazy dream. And I think it’s ok to share considering.So me and Scott first of all I have really helped each other through this time by talking like you talk to both of us almost every day.So anyway it was Steve and youSaying we both need to get on the plane and go to this tropical place. It almost was like Tahiti or something.And Steve had got the tickets like half price and we had just had to roll. So we got there. And I said where is Scott?And you guys said I don’t know. And I said oh my god he’s the one who wanted to go on this vacation . So the rest of the dream was that I had to totally get back to Oregon by 5:30 PM because Scott was going to call me. And I could not lie where I was. So the dream was me trying to get back before Scott called me at 530 LOL.
I am so sorry for all of Craig’s family. I know that losing our loved ones can bring along feelings of discouragement and the feelings of grief can last for several months or for several years. I have had a similar situation happen with my grandmother just six months ago. What has helped me is by turning to the Bible for comfort and to meditate on the hope that we can look forward to in the future. One scripture that particularly helps is the one in 2 Corinthians 1:3,4 which says in summary, “... the father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials.” So in distressing times such as these, this scripture assures us of Gods comfort that he extends to all of us and he will sustain us through all of our tribulation. It’s comforting to know that there will be a time when we will not have to experience something as unnatural as death, because of what it says in 1 Corinthians 15:26 “And the last enemy death is to be brought to nothing.” So from Gods viewpoint, he considers death to be an enemy and soon he promises that we will again see our loved ones by means of a resurrection. I strongly encourage you to continue to meditate on the scriptures because of the hope that it provides.
I guess I got blocked. Because I totally said some stories☹️
