NASHUA, N.H. — The community of Nashua is mourning the passing of Craig Francoeur, a devoted family man whose kindness, loyalty, and gentle presence left a lasting impact on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. His death has brought deep sadness to family members, friends, neighbors, and colleagues who are remembering him not only for who he was, but for the love he so openly shared.

Craig was a man who placed family at the center of his life. Whether at home, at work, or among friends, he was known for his steady support, quiet strength, and the warm, reassuring way he cared for those around him. To his loved ones, he was a rock—someone they could turn to for guidance, encouragement, and unwavering love.

“He was the heart of our family,” one relative shared. “He had a way of making the world feel safer just by being there.”

Friends describe Craig as a loyal companion, the type of person who showed up without needing to be asked. A friendly smile, a helping hand, a thoughtful conversation—his acts of care were often simple, but they meant everything to those who received them. He lived his life with humility and sincerity, choosing kindness every day.

In his community, Craig was known as a neighbor who waved first, a coworker who listened, and a friend who could make others feel at ease. His absence is already deeply felt across Nashua.

As loved ones gather to grieve, share memories, and support one another, they are holding onto the legacy Craig leaves behind—a legacy defined not by grand gestures, but by love, dedication, and everyday grace.

The Francoeur family has requested privacy during this difficult time as they navigate the pain of their loss. Arrangements for services and memorial gatherings will be announced in the coming days.

In Loving Memory of Craig Francoeur
A devoted family man.
A trusted friend.
A gentle soul who will be forever missed. 🕊️
