It is with profound sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of Craig Richard Benson, a truly one-of-a-kind soul, on 13 June 2025 at the age of 57.

Craig was a man like no other -- endlessly curious and wholly himself in every way. His humour, kindness, and unwavering authenticity touched the lives of all who knew him.

He is deeply mourned by his family, many friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. The world is a little dimmer without his light.

Following Craig's funeral service there will be a celebration of his life at Dooley's Bar in Monash Hotel, 2077 Dandenong Road, Clayton.
