Craig M. Liscum, age 38, passed away unexpectedly on January 31, 2026, at Gouverneur Hospital.
Craig, affectionately known as Craigy in his younger years, was born in Gouverneur on December 31, 1987, to Rick and Tammy Liscum. He graduated from Gouverneur High School in 2007. He was formerly employed as a Correctional Officer with the NYS Department of Corrections at Upstate Correctional Facility and most recently at A Cut Above.
Craig is reunited in Heaven with many loved ones, including his grandparents, Ronald and Mabel Liscum, Donald Wyman and his uncle Duane “Bug” June. We are confident he was welcomed by their loving arms and quite possibly one of Ronnie’s Milwaukee’s Best Ice.
He is survived by his daughter, Alexxa Rose, his pride and joy; his parents, Rick and Tammy Liscum; his wife, Heidi Scott; his sister, Meghan Liscum (Kevin Murdie); his niece and nephew Kendra and Kolt Murdie; his grandmother, Sandra Wyman; his aunts, Karen (David) Drake and Betty (James) Cole; his uncle, Stephen (Anna) June; and his cousins, Macaula Drake, Alainna (Theodore) Walters, Brittany (Andrew) Beck, and Levi (Malarie) Cole; and many beloved family members and friends.
Craig had a heart of gold and a deep love for his family. He had the ability to make anyone laugh. A recent Fantasy Football league champion and a die-hard Philadelphia Eagles fan, Craig also took pride in his impressive collection of football cards. He was known for always wearing shorts, no matter the season. He cherished shopping trips with his daughter Alexxa, attending concerts with his nephew Kolt, playing video games, and never passed up the chance to stop at McDonald’s. More importantly, Craig never passed up the chance to spend time with family, and even in his untimely death, he brought his family together.
In honor and in memory of Craig’s love and devotion to his daughter, donations can be made to a savings account for Alexxa. His legacy will live on through his daughter and his selfless donation of his organs, for which a recipient has already benefited from the gift of his heart.
A GoFundMe account has been established to assist with funeral expenses, gofund.me/a0d118a25.
No public services will be held at this time. A celebration of life is planned for Spring 2026, details to follow.
