Craig A. Carabin, 67, of Westerville, passed away on April 23, 2026.

Born on January 31, 1959, in Dayton, Ohio, Craig was the son of the late James and Virginia (Nowak) Carabin. A loving son, father, brother, and friend, Craig’s infectious sense of humor and generous spirit made a lasting impact on everyone he met.

A passionate Ohio State Football fan, Craig was never shy about showing his support for his beloved team. He had a successful and fulfilling career, retiring in 2018 from the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS), after having worked at both their Dayton and Columbus sites. Following his retirement, Craig dedicated his time to community endeavors, where he became involved with The Deaf Senior Citizens Community and the Columbus Association of the Deaf, building lasting friendships and making a difference in the lives of many. He was also a valued congregation member of Liberty Baptist Church Of The Deaf.

Craig was preceded in death by his parents, his older brother Gary Lee Carabin (2021), and his brother-in-law Lou Nadalsky (2007). He is survived by his son, Andrew; his sister-in-law and caregiver, Christina Carabin; siblings, Jamie Nadalsky, Jennifer (Dan) Wade, Chris (Keely), Cynthia Cioffari, and James (Debbie); as well as many nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends.
