Family's Motorcycle-Shaped Urn Stolen

33-Year-Old Daytona Beach Man Killed In Crash

An urn fashioned to look like a motorcycle engine and was intended to hold the ashes of a man and his son was stolen from a Daytona Beach home.

Craig Aumack, 33, was killed Saturday in a motorcycle crash, and before his death, his wish was for his ashes to be placed in the special urn that held the remains of his father, who was known as "Pops."

But that may never happen after the unique urn was stolen from the Imperial Street home. Family members believe the thief may be someone they know because the urn was stored in a special place inside the home.

"You don't steal from the dead. That's a sin," said Tracy Vaughn, Craig Aumack's ex-wife. "I don't know if the person who stole it realizes it's an urn. They probably think it's a motorcycle part."

"It was very, very important to me. It was 'Poppa' and he was really, really good," said Craig Aumack's 7-year-old daughter, Olivia.

The Aumacks believe someone broke into their house the day after Craig Aumack's death, stealing the homemade urn, a Harley-Davidson jacket and a laptop computer.

"He needs to bring it back. Anywhere, anytime," Olivia said.

"I can't believe anyone would take it intentionally, because they know how much it meant to Craig and Olivia," Vaughn said.

The family is hoping the urn is returned in time for Craig Aumack's memorial service, which will be held Feb. 20.
