Allan Craig Livingstone, 63, of Red Wing, died Easter morning of cancer at his home, April 5, 2015, with his family by his side. He was born April 27, 1951, in Kenora, Ontario to Allan and Alyce (Grafham) Livingstone. He graduated from Kenora High School and went on to attend the University of North Dakota, where he met his wife, Dianne Schoenack. They were married on May 5, 1979 in Moorhead, Minnesota. They lived in Winnipeg and then moved to Calgary, where their three daughters were born. He returned to school to study art. In 1986 they moved to Minnesota and eventually settled in Red Wing in 1989. Craig worked for Red Wing Shoe Company until 2001, and then worked for KWING radio. He had a wonderful sense of humor and enjoyed drawing, cartooning and art, running, reading, history, and politics. He embraced his U.S. citizenship because he ultimately wanted to make a difference for future generations. More than anything, he loved his family.
He is survived by his wife, Dianne of Red Wing; three daughters, Shannon (Zach) Walters of Duluth, Michelle (fiancé, Andy Kliewer) Livingstone of Red Wing and Miranda (Jared) Schahczinski of Red Wing; four grandchildren, Alexis, Landon, Caden, and Lila; siblings, Colleen (Cliff McKercher) Livingstone, Curtis (Kaythe Shine) Livingstone and Colin Livingstone all of Kenora, Ontario and nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents and a sister-in-law, Kathy Livingstone.
