Craig Charles Newhouse

Craig Charles Newhouse passed away suddenly on December 5, 2025, in Colorado Springs, Colorado, following a visit with family for Thanksgiving.  

Craig was born on June 13, 1960, in Lake City, Iowa, to Glendale and Norma Newhouse. He was baptized at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Burnside, Iowa, and confirmed at Bethel Lutheran Church in Graettinger, Iowa. He grew up on the family farm, where he enjoyed farm life and time with neighborhood friends riding motorcycles and snowmobiles.   

Craig attended Graettinger Community School and participated in Future Farmers of America. He graduated in 1978. He spent the past forty years living in Colorado Springs, and considered “The Springs” the greatest place to live.   Craig enjoyed sports of all kinds, especially professional football, and was a devoted Denver Broncos fan. He was also an avid NASCAR enthusiast, watching most races and attending when he could. Craig worked for many years in the home construction industry and enjoyed time spent with family, particularly visits to Georgia.  

Craig is survived by Lori (Ben) Arndt of Pooler, Georgia; William (Ruth) Newhouse of Ruthven, Iowa; Norma (Jerry) Holmgaard of Soldotna, Alaska; Glendale (Valerie) Newhouse of Emmetsburg, Iowa; Denny Newhouse; Mayo Newhouse of Starks, Louisiana; Paul Newhouse of Marion, Iowa; and Larry (Barbara) Newhouse of Stoughton, Wisconsin, along with many nieces and nephews.  

He was preceded in death by his parents, Glendale and Norma Newhouse; his sister, Judy Spragle; and his sister-in-law, Lorna Newhouse.  

The family is planning private services at a later date.
