Craig A Streich

Rome City - Craig A. Streich, 80, of Rome City, passed away on Thursday, May 1, 2025 at his home on Sylvan Lake.  He was born on March 28, 1945, in Kendallville, to Edward and Virginia (Kline) Streich.  Craig was a graduate of Kendallville High School.  He served the Kendallville community for 23 years as a member of the Kendallville Police Department, which he led for 12 years as Chief of Police.  He also was employed with J.O. Mory for 15 years.  Craig had a dry sense of humor, quick wit, and the ability to deliver well-timed sarcasm - a trait he was proud to pass on to his family.  In his free time, he enjoyed reading and spending time at the lake.  On January 23, 1971, in Kendallville, he married Jackie Cooper.  She survives in Rome City along with their fur baby, Lexi.  

Also surviving are a daughter Lesa (Neal) Edgington of LaOtto; sons, Christopher (Jill Grobis) Streich and Joshua (Erin) Streich both of Kendallville; grandchildren, Emery Mossman, KathAnn Cassel, Andrea (Andrew) Allman, Grace (Stephen) Cox, Kendyl (fiance' Garrett Maag) Garton, Kylie Garton, and Kane Garton; great-grandchildren, Aedyn & Ahriana Mossman, Alydia Shellman, Claire, Braxton, and Liam Allman, Kaiden Cassel, and Kolby Cox; and sister in law, Nancy (Streich) Burtch of Kendallville. He was preceded in death by his parents; infant children, Shaun & Stephanie; and brother Lee Streich.  

To honor Craig's wishes, there will be no viewing or services held.  In lieu of flowers, contributions in Craig's memory may be directed to the Humane Society of Noble County, or Arc Animal Rescue - LaGrange.
