Craig Leon Foster was born on August 3, 1966, in Dallas, Texas to John David Foster and Anita Kaye (Bryant) Foster. He graduated from Westwood High School in Round Rock and on August 29, 2007, he married Tammy Coyle in Brownwood.  Craig had lived in Brownwood for the last 13 years, moving here from Dallas and had worked for Superior Essex for the last ten years.  In his spare time he enjoyed fishing, and playing cards and dominoes, but what he loved most was his family time with Tammy and the girls. He was a loving husband and a doting “Papa” and will be missed by all that knew and loved him.
