Honoring the Memory
of Those
We Love

Age 72, on Friday, July 19, 2024, of Pleasant Hills.

Craig Charles Hustwit died on July 19, 2024 at his home. Born July 16, 1952, his life was marked by deep dedication to his family, friends, and the environment.

Craig is survived by his wife and best friend, Gail Stedje Hustwit, and his daughters and their partners, Janna, Julia (Marcus), and Lauren (Jacob). He was adored by his grandsons, Augustin, Rhys, Griffin, and Ben. Craig leaves behind his beloved brothers, Ron and Jack Hustwit, as well as a cherished family of in-laws, nieces, nephews, and cousins. Craig was the loving son of Jack and Gilda (D'Orazio) Hustwit.

A proud and dedicated Pittsburgher, Craig earned degrees from Wooster College, Point Park, Pitt, and Carnegie Mellon. He devoted his career to photography, environmental engineering, and public policy, combatting climate change at the National Energy Technology Laboratory at the US Department of Energy.

He was a lifelong learner and hobbyist with a love of the outdoors and a commitment to environmental protection, civil rights, and progressive causes. He was known for good-humored snark and a penchant for imparting knowledge with a deep breath and “Let me tell you a story...”

A memorial service will be held later this year. Donations may be made in Craig’s honor to the ACLU. May his memory be a blessing and his stories continue to be told by those whose lives he touched.
