Thomas Craig Frost

In Loving Memory of Thomas Craig Frost

February 19, 1947 – June 12, 2025

Our beloved husband, father, grandfather, patriarch, and faithful servant of the Lord, Thomas Craig Frost, returned to his Heavenly Father on June 12, 2025, at the age of 78.

Born on February 19, 1947, in McNary, Arizona, to Thomas Whitcomb Frost and Louisa Maxine Gillespie Frost, Craig was blessed from the beginning with a strong testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which guided him throughout his life. He grew up in the small towns of Vernon and Lakeside, Arizona, where his foundation of faith, hard work, and service to others was firmly established.

Craig faithfully served both his country and community. He dedicated over 32 years to the United States Army National Guard, ultimately retiring with the rank of Command Sergeant Major. He also served the city of Farmington as a police officer for over 20 years retiring as Patrol Sergeant, where he was known for his leadership, strength, and kindness.

In 1973, while in Farmington, New Mexico, Craig met the love of his life, Beverly Isaacson. They were married on February 14, 1974, and later sealed in the Provo Utah Temple. Together they built a beautiful life filled with love, and faith. They were blessed with three children: Mia, Quinton, and Neil. In 2013 Craig was introduced to Beverly’s daughter, Cecilia Acuff, along with her husband, Marc, and their two sons, Logan and Chase, who became a treasured part of his life.

After retiring from the police force, he continued to serve as a substitute teacher and later found great joy as an Army JROTC Instructor with Central Consolidated School District, mentoring countless students and leading his Rifle Marksmanship Team to state and regional championships.

Craig faced his later years with courage and grace, as he battled Neuromyelitis Optica. Through it all, his unwavering faith, deep love for his family, and enduring sense of humor remained constant.

He is preceded in death by his parents; his siblings, Edie Frost Jones and Brenda Frost Sewell; and his son, Neil Steffan Frost. He is survived by his beloved wife of 51 years, Anne “Bev”; siblings; Fred Frost (Marie), Lesa Brazell (Sean) his children, Mia Frost (Tiffany), Quinton Frost (Shawna), Shanney Frost, and Anne’s daughter Cecilia Acuff (Marc); his grandchildren, Cera Dunham (Ryan), Colin Frost (Ashley), Douglas Frost, Anthony Frost, Jabe Walker, Chase, and Logan Acuff; and his great-grandchildren, Autumn and Brynnleigh Dunham, and Arlo and Crue Walker. He is also survived by many extended family members and friends who loved him dearly.

Visitation will take place at 10:00 AM, followed by a Celebration of Life at 11:00 AM on June 21, 2025, at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints., 400 W. Apache, Farmington, NM 87401. Following the service, Craig will be laid to rest at Memory Gardens.
