Craig Allen Driscoll

Craig Allen Driscoll, 65, of Pewaukee, Wisconsin, passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by his loving family, on June 24, 2025, after a courageous two-year battle with glioblastoma.

He was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on November 6, 1959, to Patrick and Virgilyn Driscoll.  Craig grew up in Brookfield along with his two brothers, Mark and Chris. His childhood was highlighted by summer vacations, church camp and working at County Stadium. Craig went on to graduate from Carthage College—where he enjoyed some of the best years of his life, and most importantly, met his best friend and beloved wife of 40 years, Theresa.

Over the years, Craig built a successful career in sales, where his talent and dedication earned him the respect of colleagues and clients alike. Just as important to him were the many lasting friendships he formed along the way—connections that brought meaning and joy to his work.

Craig will be remembered for his sharp sense of humor, in particular his sarcasm, which earned him the title of funniest in the family. He had a passion for running—fueled in part by an even greater love of ice cream, cookies and trips to the Piggly Wiggly brat shack. He was an avid Packers, Brewers and Bucks fan, and absolutely loved taking his family to games. You could always find Craig working in his beautiful yard, which provided the perfect setting for entertaining family and friends.

More than anything, Craig will be remembered for his extraordinary warmth and generosity, and his unwavering devotion to the people he loved. He had a rare gift for making everyone he met feel welcomed, valued and seen. His greatest joy in life was his family and he will be missed dearly; but the stories and memories of Craig, Dad, Papi, Uncle Craig and Craiger will live on forever with those who loved him.

Craig is survived by Theresa, and their much loved children: Sarah Driscoll, Sam Driscoll (Emily) and Max Driscoll. He was “Papi” to Patrick and Callen, a role he treasured deeply.

He is also survived by his mother, Virgilyn, his brothers Mark (Kim) and Chris (Dynese), many nieces and nephews, mother in-laws, brother and sister in-laws, more extended family and an abundance of friends and colleagues. He was preceded in death by his father, Patrick Driscoll, and father in-laws, Gary Swiden and Louis Peccarelli.

In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to Strain For The Brain, an annual event to honor those affected by brain tumors and help advancements in research, medical treatments and support programs. Ironically Craig ran in this event many times, long before this cause would become so dear to him.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the neuro oncology team at Froedtert Hospital, and especially to Dr. Jennifer Connelly, Dr. Michael Straza, Dr. Max Krucoff, Dr. Wade Mueller and their teams. Their compassion, kindness and dedication gave us HOPE and made a difficult time a little easier.

Family and friends are invited to Fox Point Lutheran Church, 7510 North Santa Monica Boulevard, Fox Point, Wisconsin 53217 on Wednesday, July 9, 2025 to celebrate Craig’s life. There will be a visitation from 10:00 AM – 12:15 PM, followed by the service at 12:30 PM.

For those attending we ask you to please bring your favorite printed photo of Craig to be added to a photo board!

“In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still.  In our hearts you hold a place, no one else ever will.”
