Craig Coyner III (1947 or 1948 – February 14, 2023) was an American lawyer and politician.
Life and career edit
Coyner was born in the 1940s to Craig Coyner Jr.[citation needed] His great-grandfather was one of the earliest mayors of Bend, Oregon.[1]
In 1981, Coyner became a member of the Bend City Council. He was elected by the council to become mayor of Bend in 1984, during a time of economic recession due to the declining timber industry.[1]
Coyner was admitted into a hospital in January 2023 for a frostbite, which resulted in amputations. The amputations resulted in a stroke, and he died a month later on February 14.[1][2]
