Very sad news indeed, and thinking of you all at this difficult time. I saw Craig a few weeks ago watching his son playing rugby against Northcliff. He was in good spirits and no doubt put up a hard fight but you could see he has suffered a long battle with cancer.

May he rest in peace.

Best wishes

Family memories

I met Craig over 20 years ago when he came to my home to be interviewed for a new career in the property industry. He instantly told me that he had removed all items of so called jewellery from all his various piercings and if he suddenly deflates during the interview I would know why. I immediately knew that we were going to have an awesome relationship going forward which we did. We had many fruitful and fun working years together and I must say we learnt a great deal from each other. Craig was the most intelligent person I have ever worked with. He questioned every formula I introduced him to and he ultimately accepted or rejected the concept of each one giving sound reasons for and against. Craig balanced his life really well between work and his 3 boys who he adored as they were always at the forefront of his mind. He had a fantastic sense of humour and this always came to the fore whether times were good or bad. If Craig knew he had passed on the same day as the Pope he would have made many humorous jokes and gestures about that. He was liked and respected by all he worked with and dealt with in our industry. We had good laughs together but I was never sure of his motives for laughing at my jokes as he once said to me “Boss do you know why I always laugh at your jokes? “. I said NO and he responded “Because you pay the wages!” Craig we will all miss you dearly and hope to see you again in another sphere.

I didn’t know Craig very well. I met him through Barry Stuhler. Whenever I saw Craig at our home or out and about he always greeted me with a big smile and a bear hug. He once sat upstairs in our study where I had a little rescue kitten, Craig was so taken by this little kitten, he gently picked it up and held it. I just liked him more than I already did.

RIP Craig, you will be missed. May your life live on through your beautiful boys.

Dear Uncle Craig

Thank you, thank you for all the unforgettable memories, from the sandy days on the golf course to the sandy days on the beach in plett. Thank you for staying with my father through thick and thin, and thank you for being a role model of strength and fearlessness to him, even in your final moments. Thank you for always being the ‘cool uncle’ that always allowed me to sleepover, those memories made at your house will never be forgotten. Thank you for giving me the three best cousins, or how I would like to put it, the three best brothers, who are the strongest, kindest, and most trusting people I’ve met. Uncle Craig, you will be dearly missed but never forgotten, inspiring many to never give up no matter the obstacles ahead, like you said “We work the problems one by one. We do what’s in front of us and then we do the next thing…”

It's seldom you come across a person who understands you, appreciates you and that you know you will be friends with forever. We were that to each other my brother from a different mother. I won't miss you because I won't forget you. I know I will see you again because that's what we both believe. Te quiero mucho. Hasta pronto mi hermano.

Played hockey with Craig at Durban varsity in the late 80s. He was a talented player at link and a colourful dude off the pitch. Smoked a lot and had an alternative sense of humour and taste in music. Wore khakoys to chapels and was a character of note. On one inter-varsity bus trip to the Western Cape a few guys had some special cookies. We were singing about "Lesotho" as we rounded the pass and headed south from Harrismith. Craig was hanging from one hand rail very comfortably with big one way dark glasses not saying a word! When we lifted the shades his eyes were speckled crimson slits which we could've blindfolded with dental floss. Funny! Bumped into him on Jan Smuts around The Bushveld pub occassionally and enjoyed a lovely family braai with his family years ago. Will be missed. Condolences to his kin, kids and Masher! RIP Craig, you were a diamond! Our memories were richer with you. Peace my mate. Jakes de Bie 🙏

I am greatly saddened by the news of Craig's passing and my heart felt condolences to the Hallows family, who were always the center of his universe, for whom he would do anything. Too many year have passed for me to pinpoint exactly when and how he stormed into my life. Though he professes to have kissed my wife behind the bike shed in primary school ( to this day unconfirmed), I guess it was probably as part of the bowman's article crew of 1992 from which would emerge a remarkable cohort of excellent lawyers, leaders and businessmen - though at the time that was by no means apparent. We had crazy times, working hard, playing harder and Craig as alway in the center of it all. I had the pleasure of sailing with Craig from Europe to the Seychelles, via the suez canal. I remember clearly the two of us on deck, in the middle of the night as waves crashed around us in a horrific storm that lasted two days. It was not his shift but he was not going to let me fight through this alone. There were many time that night we thought we would not make it.

I also had the pleasure of seeing his family growing up on the many family holidays we shared all over the world. His fighting spirit, sense of adventure and insatiable curiosity lives on in all of them - and I know there is no-one prouder than he was of his boys.

My life is immeasurably better for having had Craig part of my life.

May he rest in peace

Dear Craig.

I still can’t believe you’re gone.

We met through our boys and quickly found ourselves sharing so many afternoons together — sitting on the sidelines, urging them on, celebrating every try, every boundary. Those moments were simple, but they meant everything.

I would give anything for just one more game beside you, one more day of laughter, of sharing in the pride we had for our sons.

You will always be part of those memories, part of the spirit that lives on in every match, every cheer.

Rest easy, my friend — and keep cheering from above. Maurizio Mariano

Craig was one of a kind - sharp, incredibly intelligent and sometimes hard to read!

One thing that was plain for the world to see was his unconditional and deep love for his three boys. That legacy will shine on through them.

We will always remember the tremendous effort Craig made to spend time with Krogfam in December and are grateful for the memories.

It’s a tragedy that he left too early. Rest easy Craig, the world is a little less interesting without you.

I will miss Captain Craig and his quirky and unique style of doing things. He was not someone that I would normally gravitate towards but we seemed to find each other somehow. I still remember bumping into this odd “new dad” and his eldest Lucien on Grade 8 tour outside the bus -> day 1 of what was to be an incredible 7 years of fun and laughter on the side of the sports fields and lunches and braai’s and sundowners and Matric dances and the list goes on. He was so proud of his 3 young men and he would go to war with them (always had an opinion on the side of the hockey and rugby fields where the boys were applying their trade - all very talented!!! And massive hearts like Dad 🤗) . He fought a good fight with his family and friends by his side (keeping him away from all the bad things 🫣 like sugar!). 🤗🙏🏻. May u rest in peace my friend. Kroggo

Craig gave me my first break when I joined his legal team at Investec 28 years ago. Our first meeting (my first interview) was less of an interview and more of a discussion about comedy and travel. We hit it off straight away and I have been proud to be his friend ever since. What I remember most about the early years at Investec was the laughter! We shared the same mal sense of humour and I will miss that most. We have shared vaal properties together now for many years with no drama and we were always talking about our next venture together! Mostly because we always had a good time together. I am going to miss you my friend! You fought to the end and I will never forget you.

Craig was such a lovely guy. We had such a great time when he came over to the uk and stayed in our house in Redhill. The home brew the camping trips and the mild skin infections! Such a sad feeling to know he is gone. Roz and Malcolm.

Forever grateful our paths crossed and we got to spend many hours watching our boys on the side of the cricket pitch and rugby field.

Always the friendliest, warmest and most generous person who’ll surely be missed.

You fought so hard and were so brave. Your legacy will live on in your 3 beautiful boys. Sending all our luv to Maggie, Helene, the boys and the whole Hallowes family 🙏 with much luv

Thank you for over 35-years of close friendship. Thank you for the Latin lessons at the pub in our diggs. Thank you for missing your hockey trials to spend time with us at the beach. Thank you for hauling me up a mountain with your funny French accent. Thank you for making me laugh. Thank you for your incredible mind. Thank you for persisting when I didn't answer my phone. Thank you for sharing your family with me. I will miss you so very much, Brabbers.

I will always remember Craig fondly as that bright, chirpy student in Ansell May Hall at the University of KZN who played an awesome game of hockey. He challenged the status quo and had a brilliant mind. RIP Craig. The Hallowes family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Craig was so much more than a client; he became a dear friend and a true part of my life.

Our conversations would often begin with his excitement for his family, especially his three sons; whether it was proudly talking about their achievements or making sure he got the latest Newcastle jersey to share with them before we spoke about work!

His positive energy, sharp mind and deep devotion to his family left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him.

I feel truly blessed to have known Craig, to have shared in his laughter, his wisdom, and his strength.

After a courageous battle with cancer, he left us far too soon, but his spirit, love and lessons live on in all of us.

To his family and friends: may you find strength, comfort, and pride in the incredible legacy he leaves behind. My thoughts and prayers are always with you. ❤️

Best wishes

Craig was always the most kind and inviting person, always ready to make you laugh when you’ve had a bad day. He cared so much about his family and his friends. I will always count myself lucky that I was able to know and spend time with Craig. He was a special person and an amazing dad. Always on the sideline supporting sport and ready to make fun of your mistakes on the field. He will be missed!

Dearest Craig, we had the most awesome times in our youth, travelling around Europe in a campervan with Jimmy Musgrave and Liz, having the most awesome adventures and laughing all the time (except when we got scabies! 😂). Love you dude! Was hoping for yet more laughs when we move to Cape Town in ‘26, but draw some comfort from knowing you’re in a better place and out of pain. I raise a toast to your brilliant wit and “light up the room” charisma, you will always be in my heart xx Andrea

I didn’t know Craig well, but in the few moments our paths did cross, he was always incredibly kind to me. It was clear how much he cared for his family, and he will be deeply missed. Sending love and strength to all his family and friends during this difficult time.

genesis – saturday afternoon soccer by Craig Hallowes

in the beginning there was light
and happiness and the laughter of my boys
the sweet ruffle of their hair as they ran
chasing a ball for no reason, other than the game
i heard a tackle, then a fight
and shuffled to find the noise
before something really bad began
or someone fell in private shame

it was minor and no one was hurt
i held mine close and smelt them
like my wife and I, just more brilliance
i believed in god in that spurt
of time. i believed in good women and men
i believed in living, meaning and eternal resilience

Always remember the fabulous times in SA and Brazil with you and family Craig. May you rest in peace but I also know you’ll be making everyone laugh a lot up there in that party in the sky. And the songs by James always remind me of you !

Dear Craig, my friend and chavrusa (learning partner),

Our journey together through the study of Tehillim (Psalms) and Pirkei Avot (Ethics of the Fathers) over the past year has been both transformative and uplifting. Your unwavering dedication to daily Tehillim and spiritual growth has not only inspired me deeply, but has also left a meaningful impression on all those around you.

Your commitment to completing the entire Book of Tehillim multiple times is truly remarkable. Even more so, your thoughtful reflections and unwavering commitment to understand the Psalms revealed not only your scholarship, but a heartfelt connection to the spiritual world and emotional resonance of these sacred words.

You were especially inspired by King David, the author of Tehillim. Like him, you embodied a sincerity of heart, a quest for truth, and a soulful connection to G-d that shone through both your learning and your character. Your love, warmth, and extremely generous spirit touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing you. Your kindness, warmth and caring for all humanity made the world a better place.

I am deeply grateful for the friendship we shared and the spiritual learning we did together. I have no doubt that this sacred journey brought you closer to G-d, and it has certainly brought much light into my life as well.

Rest in peace my special friend, as your spiritual journey continues. We will all miss you deeply.

With warmest love,
Doc Avron

I miss you so much. I worry about our kids . I wish we could have had a little more time together. We went through so much together. Ups and downs and ups and downs again. Our relationship was a testament to overcoming each other . Life is not the same without you. You are embedded deeply in my heart where I will always carry a part of you. Love u Craig

Funeral Service: Craig Brabazon Hallowes

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Funeral Service in memory of the late Craig Brabazon Hallowes held in the Chapel of Mary, St David’s Marist Inanda

# data[].attributes.body
It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our beloved Craig Brabazon Hallowes - father, brother, son, family member and friend, on the 21st of April after a long and courageous battle.

Craig was a man of remarkable intellect — always the brightest mind in the room. Even in the most difficult moments, he remained headstrong, hopeful, and deeply devoted to those he loved. His love for his three sons and our family gave him strength beyond what seemed humanly possible. He fought for them; he lived for them; and through it all, he showed us the power of love and never giving up.

Though our hearts are heavy, we find peace in knowing that his spirit lives on — in every memory we hold and in the lives of the boys he adores so deeply.

We will carry his legacy forward, always remembering the extraordinary person he was — our inspiration, our fighter.
