Bloomstrand, Craig Jeffery "Snake" age 71, of St. Louis Park passed away peacefully at home on March 8, 2023. Preceded in death by his parents Keith and Delores. Snake, a beloved husband to Alexis; father to Anna (Clint Simonson) and Erik (Rosa Costain); stepfather to Alicia Richman, Annie Richman and Jennifer Wetteland (Todd); grandfather to Oscar and Elliot; brother to Julie Olson (Dan). Snake was driven by his passion, curiosity, and creativity. He was an artist of many mediums, an author and storyteller, craftsman, and sculptor. He had a keen insight and compassion for the human psyche making him a master group facilitator, assisting others to heal from trauma. His work touched many, from men in high security prison, to retired Special Forces, and men and women in the US and abroad. Many will mourn his absence, his quiet yet commanding voice - the kindness of his presence and that mischievous glint in his eye. Snake was loved and will be missed. A Celebration of Life will be held later this Spring.
