Father of Four (and one on the way to make five) Killed...
An outing to the high country turned tragic for one Black Canyon City family.
The family's pastor, Karl Borman, spoke on the family behalf Sunday. He said that Craig Looney, his wife and four kids, were enjoying a picnic together at Oak Creek Canyon, near Sedona.
Borman said the family heard a cracking noise, and a tree fell on Craig. Two of the kids reportedly received a few scrapes and scratches.
The pastor says the impact knocked Craig off a rock and into the water, killing him. He says this is simply a freak, tragic accident.
"No wind, no storm, just completely out of the blue, it's not a risky thing to take your kids on a picnic to Oak Creek Canyon," said Pastor Borman.
"Craig was a good husband, a good father, I always picture him with one of his kids at least, one of his daughters in his arms, they have four."
A bank account has been set up in Craig's name at Bank of the West in Black Canyon City. Another account will be set up at Chase Bank, sometime Monday.
