William Craig “Nugget” Bennett, 32, a well-respected journeyman lineman for Arizona Public Service Co., went to be with the Lord Jesus peacefully in his sleep of unknown causes on Saturday, July 16, 2016, at his home in Desert Hills. A memorial service and reception, with lunch supplied by APS, will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, July 30, at the Pure Heart Christian Fellowship, located at 14240 N. 43rd Ave. in Glendale, with Pastor Dan Steffen officiating. Craig was born Oct. 9, 1983, in Flagstaff, and graduated from Sinagua High School in Flagstaff. He then attended Mesa Community College, completing the Lineman Program. He was a loyal, active and faithful union member of Local IBEW 387. He met the love of his life and married Andrea Lynn on Sept. 20, 2014. He loved his family, and enjoyed off-roading, dirt bikes, hunting, fishing, camping and woodworking, as well as showing horses and horsemanship. He was an active and faithful member of the Pure Heart Christian Fellowship in Glendale. Craig was so proud when he attained his journeyman ticket. His many friends and relatives saw Craig as an excellent husband, amazing father, wonderful son, loving and caring grandson, magnificent brother and loyal friend. He enjoyed living in Joseph City, Snowflake, Flagstaff and Desert Hills. Three words sum up his life: “Loyal, Loving, Rockstar.” Survivors include his wife, Andrea Lynn; his child, Brock Kevin; his parents William Alan Bennett (Stef) and Shonna Elaine Willingham (Rod); his siblings, Chris Bennett (Bre), Rebecca Willingham, Delilah Hull (David), Sarah Peterson (Matt) and Daniel Ledford (Ana); his grandfather, Bill G.
