Born November 7, 1959 at the U.S.Army Hospital in Frankfurt, Germany, he was the son of Kathleen Hrabal, of Arlington, Texas and the late Teddy Hrabal. He was the husband and best friend of Jill S.

He was an alumnus of the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, served on active duty in the United States Navy for 6 years, and then in the Naval Reserves, honorably discharged as a Lieutenant in 2004. He retired from the U.S.Nuclear Regulatory Commission in 2016 after 29 years of combined military and civilian Federal service, and over 30 years working in the nuclear energy safety industry. He was an avid video gamer, eclectic music and science fiction fan, and was devoted to the Aggies, and Dallas Cowboys.
In addition to his wife and mother, Craig is survived by his son, Craig Hrabal and fiancée Kelsey of Galveston,TX, three brothers, Donald Hrabal and his wife Cathy, Steve Hrabal and his wife Laura, Mark Hrabal and his wife Sarah, nieces and nephews, a step-daughter Leah Arter, and a step-son Alexander Madigan. His presence is, and always will be, greatly missed.
