Craig’s Bio

Craig (my dad) began his journey when he met Sonja (my mom) at a young age, and together they started a family filled with love, faith, and determination. After welcoming their first daughter (Stephanie,me), and then a second (Trisha,my sister), Craig worked tirelessly—balancing jobs and college—to ensure our family was cared for, even when times were tight.

Though we grew up in a small two-bedroom trailer in a small neighborhood, Craig created a world rich in love and lessons. He made time for us as a family, camping trips, taught us kids how to fish, and led by example—showing us what hard work, responsibility, and faith looked like.

Craig worked as a maintenance man in an investment building, where his courage and awareness earned him recognition for stopping a criminal in the hallways. As his career progressed, he landed a job maintaining a mansion in Highlands Ranch, Colorado—an achievement that filled me with pride as he moved us into the guest house. Eventually, he launched his own maintenance business, serving homes all over.

He was also incredibly crafty and creative—always fixing, building, or making something with his hands. He passed that knowledge and skill down to me as to why I carry on his legacy today through everything he taught me.

But more than a provider, Craig was a man of God. We grew up in the Four Square Church, where Craig’s deep faith never wavered. At age 12, I  was baptized by his own hands—one of many powerful moments of spiritual leadership. Craig even served as an assistant pastor and a decan. He was full of wisdom. Craig was always calm and collective, he never showed signs of stress, even in hardship. 

A devastating disease would later take hold, but never his spirit. Craig remained smart, grounded, and full of faith. He lived with integrity, intention, and immense love for his family—a legacy that continues to shine through those who knew and loved him.

I was Baptized by my dad at our 4 square church when I was 12yrs old. A memory I'll hold forever. 

My dad took pride in his backyard. It was peaceful and he worked hard on it. I loved going over and helping.

His loft was where he read his Bible, prayed, and studied. Outside his window, three bird feeders let him enjoy watching the birds. He also kept his awards and treasures from his adventures there, along with all his creations and shelves full of tumbled stones.

Estes Park, one of my dads favorite places to go. We all took a trip and went to be together and remember him. We all miss him so much. This picture just isn't the same without him.

About Me

I am Stephanie Kimble, daughter of Craig Kimble and the founder of KIMBLE'S LEGACY STONES. This venture is profoundly personal—born from love, faith, and the enduring bond I shared with my father.

I was always a daddy’s girl. He was my hero, mentor, and the person I admired most. I dedicated myself to making him proud—graduating from high school, attending beauty school, and continuously learning along the way. Yet, the most valuable lessons he imparted were not skills, but life principles: to work diligently, remain grounded in faith, and persevere through challenges.

Raised in the church, I had the privilege of being baptized by my father at the age of twelve. That experience, along with his quiet strength and profound faith in God, profoundly shaped who I am. I share his creativity and love for the outdoors, as well as a passion for drawing and photography.

I am grateful for all I learned from my father and honored to now pass those lessons on to my own children.

Losing my father was an incredibly difficult and painful experience. It felt as though a part of me was lost—the person I turned to for guidance and validation, the one who seemed to know everything.

This business is not solely mine; it belongs to all of us. It stands as a tribute to his memory, a reflection of my faith, and a testament that love, much like stone, can be shaped into something enduring and beautiful.

Thank you for visiting and supporting a venture created with heartfelt intention and purpose.
