Collins Alumni Auditorm was full to the brim last Friday as family, friends, colleagues and students gathered to honor the life Dr. Mack Wayne Craig.
Vice president and dean were just two of the titles Craig held in the 40 years he spent at Lipscomb. He passed away Tues., March 1 at age 85, leaving a long legacy at both the university and David Lipscomb Campus School.
All three living Lipscomb University (current and former) presidents were in attendance — Dr. Randy Lowry, Dr. Steve Flatt and Dr. Harold Hazelip.

Lipscomb alumnus Pat Boone, one of Craig’s favorite musicians, spoke at the funeral. Craig’s family had requested that Boone play a song, but Boone admitted that he didn’t think he’d be able to get through a song live and opted to play a recorded version instead.
Through all that he’s done for Lipscomb University, Craig left a long-lasting mark on this school. He will never be forgotten.
