It is with such a heavy heart that I upload these pictures of Craig Johnson. I just learned a few days ago that Craig passed away last week from a stroke and truthfully my heart is broken. I have worked with Craig (and his wife Pam, shown in pictures above) numerous times over the years...from their wedding in Jackson Hole, reception in Napa Valley, and then with the New Venture Club again in Jackson Hole just a few years ago. Craig was one of those clients that you just love, really love and appreciate...and my heart breaks for his family as I hear of this news and am stunned and saddened beyond words.
Craig was not only an amazing client, but an incredibly nice guy...and a great business man too! He helped companies such as Yahoo and Garage.com come to fruition, lending his amazing talents and insight into the social media industry...he was a pioneer. You wouldn't have known how amazingly successful he was by meeting him...he was THAT down-to-earth. He was generous beyond words, putting me and my husband up in one of the most beautiful hotels in San Francisco and then taking care of immenities beyond our dreams in Napa Valley--bike rides, spa treatments, wine cask dinners, croquet, and fabulous wine tasting seminars. Later I'd jump off a perfectly good mountain in Jackson Hole (Rendezvous Peak, 10,500 ft. elevation) paragliding with members of the New Venture Club while planning their amazing weekend retreat...with Craig and Tim Koogle (Yahoo) essentially doing the pushing! (I had just shown up to take a few pics...what on earth!?!?!?!).
I am going to miss Craig Johnson and will be praying for his family, friends and colleagues that no doubtably miss him beyond words right now.
God bless,
Aimee
