Craig Thomas Sargent

-Faithful Believer in God, Loving Husband, Dad,

Son, Precious Big Brother, Fun Uncle, American

Patriot and Proud Ohio State Buckeyes fan-

Craig Thomas Sargent, age 63, entered into the presence of God on

Saturday August 8, 2026 in Sebring, Florida.

Craig was born on January 15, 1963 in Ashland, Ohio to Shirley Sargent

and the late Thomas Sargent. He graduated from Cooper City High

School in Florida in 1981 and proudly served his country in the United

States Navy from 1981 to 1987 with much of his service aboard an

aircraft carrier.

Following his military service, Craig dedicated 30 years to the Town of

Davie, Florida, where he worked as an Operations Supervisor before

retiring.

Craig loved many things—God, family, serving his country, golf, the

gym, singing and dancing, telling stories, laughing and making people

smile. To know Craig was to love him. He lit up the room with his warm

smile and contagious laugh. He was kind, strong, gentle and always

willing to lend a helping hand to those in need.

He was a proud American and a devoted Ohio State Buckeyes fan and

loved to proudly shout, “O-H!” Or respond “I-O!”. Rarely did a day

pass when Craig wasn't seen in a Navy shirt and hat, proudly showing

off his American spirit or wearing his scarlet & gray to display his Ohio

State pride. Craig loved deeply and will be deeply missed by his family,

loved ones and friends.

Craig is survived by his loving wife, Nadine Sargent of Florida; mother,

Shirley Sargent of Florida; stepdaughter, Amber of Florida; son,

Brandon; stepson, Frank; sisters, Jennifer (Tom) Chapman of Ohio and

Laurie (Jack) DiPrima of Florida; half-brothers, Tom & Nick; and all his

nieces and nephews who adored him. He is also survived by extended

family and countless friends and loved ones who were blessed to know

him.

In addition to his father, Thomas Sargent, Craig was preceded in death

by his first wife, Marie Sargent.

A memorial service celebrating Craig’s life will be held at Morris Funeral

Chapel in Sebring, Florida, on Saturday, August 29, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. It

will be a special blessing to the family and all who attend to have

Craig’s nephew, Keith Chapman, serve as Pastor for the service.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Craig’s

memory to Change of Pace Adult Care Center, Sebring, Florida.
