Kraig Victor Chugg

Kraig V. Chugg, 73, a long-time South Weber resident, passed away peacefully of natural causes on Monday, September 16, 2024, in Ogden, with his wife by his side. Born August 19, 1951, in Ogden, Kraig was the youngest son of Mildred Yates and Grant Delmar Chugg.

He graduated from Ogden High School Class of 1969 and enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserves. He was released to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which he fulfilled in the Northwestern States Mission, even extending his period of service for several months when called as an Assistant to the President of the mission. Upon returning home, he fulfilled his Army assignment, later being honorably discharged as a Staff Sergeant.

After returning home, he met M. Edith Rumsey through her brother, Carl, who worked with Kraig as a security guard for IRS. After the introduction, Kraig and Edith started dating and were married on October 9, 1974.

For most of his life, Kraig worked in Ogden as a bread checker and loader for Wonderbread and was a member of the Bakers and Confectioners Union Local 401, Salt Lake City, retiring in about 2010.

Kraig and Edith raised four children and loved to spend time together. A special vacation they enjoyed as a family was spent in San Francisco when their daughter, Tiffany, was invited with her dance group to perform for the half-time show of a 49ers football game. A homebody, Kraig had many fond memories with his family there. They all supported him through the years as he battled against dementia.

Kraig had a love for the gospel and some of his favorite callings were serving in the Sunday School Presidency and in the temple with Edith. Kraig also enjoyed poetry and being read to by his wife. He was a city boy that was in love with a country girl.

He will be remembered most for his ability to love people, to serve as a peacemaker, and to solve problems. Kraig was always willing to forgive and to forget and truly saw the best in others.

Kraig is survived by his wife of 49 years, M. Edith Chugg, South Weber; children, Brady (Tereasa) Chugg, Hooper; David (Britta) Chugg, Clinton; Becky (Seth Matthews) Harder, Wisconsin Rapids, WI; Tiffany (Will) Milligan, South Weber; 14 grandchildren; and 3 great-grandchildren; and by his siblings, Gary (Kathy) Chugg, Riverdale; JoAnn Brown, South Weber. He was preceded in death by his parents.

The family wishes to thank the staff of Mt. Ogden Health and Rehab, especially Judy for her loving care in taking Kraig to activities and providing pictures for the family. They also wish to thank the staff of Atlas Hospice, for all their kind and professional care of Kraig.
