He joined the U.S. Navy in 1993. After eight years of active duty, he was honorably discharged and went to work as a government contractor in the private sector.
In 1995, he married Dara Williams, his junior high-high school sweetheart. Together they shared an amazing life with great friends and many adventures. They loved to go snow skiing, boating and camping.
In 2003 they built a house in Moyock. In 2004, his first daughter, Skylar Louise Singletary, was born. He adored her and spent many nights on her bedroom floor with her just watching her sleep.
In 2007, his daughter Sienna Ruth Singletary was born. He was an amazing father and husband and always looked out for their well-being ahead of his own.
His favorite pastimes were watching Nebraska football, riding his Harley-Davidson Fat Boy, taking his boat out and just enjoying the open water, and teaching and watching his girls grow. He had an amazing mind for American and military history.
He will be dearly missed and loved as we know it was time for him to go home and have eternal peace. But he will never be forgotten as he touched so many lives in his short one.
He was preceded in death by his brother, Greg Kraft; birth mother, Betty Singletary; and grandparents, Raymond and Mildred Smith.
