Summary
Craig Owen Petrak, age 53, died on May 21, 2021, according to a funeral-home obituary reproduced on the Beaver Island Forum. The obituary recalls that he grew up on Beaver Island and returned frequently for summers, where boats, bonfires, friends, and an informal community car-lending habit shaped his island memories.
Evidence limits
The forum preserves a reproduced obituary and funeral referral rather than an independently held funeral-home record. The island biography is therefore preserved as reported, not as a complete life history.
