Craig Scott Tegethoff was born April 12, 1961 to Bernard and Patricia (Lanctot) Tegethoff in Mitchell, SD. He worked at Pepsi while attending Mitchell High School.

Craig started working as a skilled carpenter for his father’s construction company, and when his father retired he worked as a self-employed carpenter for the remainder of his later years.

Craig was an avid hunter, fisherman, gardener (everyone loved his homemade salsa), and lover of the outdoors. His property was always known for the animals walking around freely including chickens, guineas, and his iconic peacocks. He was a member of the Moose Lodge in Mitchell.
