This web site is dedicated to Craig Lee Paterson born 1976 in Dechmont, West Lothian. Only son of Matilda & Iain Paterson, brother to Vicki and uncle to Keiran.
Craig was the victim of a fatal motorbike crash on Wednesday 16th August 2006. in Perthshire.
Mr Paterson, from Crieff, who had been aiming to become a paramedic, was pronounced dead at the scene.
His wife Claire described her former army medic husband as a fun-loving and devoted family man.
Mrs Paterson, 28, a staff nurse at Perth Royal Infirmary, said the couple had married just over a year ago and were looking to start a family.
She said: "Craig was a real joker and was always playing pranks of one kind or another on people. He had a great sense of humour.
"He wasn't one to follow the crowd and was never frightened to express how he felt."
The couple first met in 2001 when Mrs Paterson was in her final year as a student nurse and saw him while she was out on duty with ambulance crewmen.
Two years later they met again and became a couple, before marrying in Perth in May 2005.
Mr Paterson, who was born in Dechmont, West Lothian, grew up in Fife and Perthshire.
Christmas Time

Birthday Boy
My favourite nephew,
life goes on,
or so they say,
but my world became darker on
that fateful day,
time is a great healer?
not true,
nothing will ever heal
the pain of losing you,
a life so short,
but lived to the full,
giving everything,
to those you love,
missed then, missed now,
always loved
and carried in my heart
always and forever craigiebaby xx
Sad songs, memories and tears
Heard that song again today (you know the one), and yeh I have the sound turned off when I come to talk with you. Wasn't quite prepared for the emotional surge I felt when I heard it, you're in my thoughts a lot, I don't know why but I always picture you walking along the beach at Leven, and am glad to see that you are always with your gran, grandad and uncle bill, and it's funny cos although you never seem to be walking fast I can never catch up to you. Love and miss all of you, take care of each other xxxxx
Long time without computer
Hey Craigiebaby, long time without a computer, but that doesn't mean that I wasn't thinking about you. Your in my thoughts constantly, especially when Snow Patrol is playing (which is more often than most people think), am getting better though, I manage not to cry in public anymore when I hear it. Occasionally I even manage to sing along, or my interpretation of singing anyway Ha Ha!!!!!!! Missed wishing you a happy birthday this year but I was down south....love you lots, and miss you more, give my love to your gran, grandad and Bill, and if you can find my friends Senga and John, tell them I miss them too. If love and kisses could be turned into wishes you'd be here with us now xxxxxxxxxxxxx
thinking of you
God bless all of your family and of course your wife, i know how hard it is 3 years on and it only gets easier to deal with not easier to live with, thinking of you guys, take care claire
missing you more each day
hey craig, well that time of year has come round again, funny how it still seems like it only just happened, yet it is 3 years...think of you often, just wish I could speak to you...missing you...take care xxx
Hi Craig
Hi m8. Not looked in here for a while but of course that doesn't mean you have been far from my thoughts at any time. I will be heading up to sit for a bit with you on Sunday evening after I finish dayshift. Even after all this time, this still doesn't feel real.
18 years already
hey Craigiebaby, 18 years ago today your gran passed over. I remember going to see her the day before she died, and for once we were in the house by ourselves (a rare occurence) I was doing some cleaning (your grandad never done to your grans standards) and she tried to give me a pendant, I told her I would get it later, but she said 'no it has to be now' I often wondered if she knew that she was nearing the end, because when I left she said Goodbye instead of the usual cheerio. Thats been on my mind all day today. I miss her and can't believe how much time has passed. Just wanted you all to know that I think about you all a lot and miss you all every day. love and hugs xxxxxxxxx
Been a while, Big guy! Still think about you almost every day, even if it's just a quick "wonder if Craig's alright?"
I often give a wee 'prayer' (and maybe that's far from the correct phrase, as I am not religious in any way) to Claire, your mum and all the others I don't know, but wish well.
Be cool mate.
Ed
Hello all, time has passed, but it still seems like yesterday that we lost our boys.
I hope you are living life for Craig...
Have a lovely Christmas...
