Craig Gamette

Craig Thurman Gamette passed away on October 28, 2026. Born in Las Vegas, Nevada to Wayne Amazias Gamette and Braunda Thurman Gamette, Craig was raised in Las Vegas and graduated from Las Vegas High School in 1964. He briefly attended Brigham Young University before serving a two-year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Eastern States Mission.

Craig’s missionary service took him into the burroughs of New York and their surrounding communities and included time at the LDS Pavilion at the New York World’s Fair, where millions of tracts and copies of the Book of Mormon were distributed. Following his missionary service, Craig returned to Las Vegas and went to work with his father at Society Cleaners on the corner of 11th and Fremont. He would eventually own Society Cleaners, retiring in 2020.

Craig is survived by his sister Jane Manetta Gamette and six nieces and nephews, who are children of his sister Braunda Elizabeth “Liz” Kocherhans; Braunda Elizabeth Macdonald; Gilbert Kraig Kocherhans; Jennifer Jayne Kocherhans; Amy Suzanne Reinhardt; Robert Wayne Kocherhans; and Damon Blake Kocherhans.

A burial service will be held for Craig at Davis Memorial Park located at 6200 S. Eastern on November 12, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. The Gamette Family extends its sincere appreciation to all who have been so thoughtful at this time.

Craig was everyone’s personal dry cleaner. During his years at Society Cleaners, he became acquainted with many of Las Vegas’ most prominent people and was well known for his warm personality, intelligence, friendliness, and wonderful sense of humor.
