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.
A Kiss
We never stop to measure
Anything we might just miss
But if the wind should blow by softly
You'll feel an Angels Kiss
A Kiss thats sent from Heaven
A Kiss from up above
A Kiss thats very special
From someone that you love
For in your pain and sorrow
A Kiss will help you through
This Kiss is very private
For its meant for only you
So when our hearts are heavy
And filled with tears and pain
And no-one can console you
Remember once again
About the ones you grieve for
Because you sadly miss
And that gentle breeze you took for granted
Was just an Angels Kiss x
Hiya Craig just popped on to say hi, I was a bit confused when I saw there was 2 sites for you but I will continue to visit you here as I'm sure its what you would want. I remember some of the conversations we had when you were here and I always remember you telling me and Doug just how happy you and Claire were together. I couldn't believe it when I heard you had been taken from her it was like an awful nightmare but no one woke from it, it still goes on and so does life. You would be so proud of Claire she made sure everything was just right for you and the way you would of wanted it. I don't know how she managed I don't think I could of if I was in her shoes but I suppose its something you do for the one you love.
Miss you Craig

just fancied a talk
so if I ramble on a bit Craig just take out the bits you want and ignore the rest. Was listening to James Blunt and forgot Goodbye My Lover was on it. Well I will admit to shedding a tear or three, one of these days I will be able to listen to it without the waterworks starting (I hope). Your mam's awfy upset (you'll know why) so can you pop down and give her a wee hug (or a big hug). Why do we hurt each other like this, you would think we would learn our lesson by now.
Do you remember when you were wee and used to go to the Ladybird Nursery. Was thinking about that the other day, how me you and Jen used to hold hands and jump the cracks in the pavements, on our way there in the mornings. Kids growing up now won't know what that is, what with all the paths being tarred rather than slabs. See what they are missing out on eh!!
Ages ago your mam sent me the picture of you and vics when you were still wee cuties (now you are both big cuties). I think that's one of the best pictures of the two of you. Vics gave me a beautiful picture of me and jen, (well the frame is lovely, don't know about the two ugly mugs on the picture - remember your grandad used to say we could frighten the mice) bet he is still saying that. Really miss him with his wacky sense of humour - don't miss him grabbing my knee though and his thumbnail digging in - that really hurt, remember. Me and Jen want to come and see you when we come up for your mum's biker dance, so I'll have to ask Auntie Mary and Uncle Stuart if we can come home by Crieff. Not promising to be sober though, but I might do the 2 step shuffle with you (mind you I'll have to learn it first!!!!) Going to go now because I have the music on and Chasing cars is the next song, still can't listen to that one...Love and miss you, thanks for listening to my rambles xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
P.S
Dawn i meant to say congrats!!!! Your boy would be proud of you, life is for living, one chance one lifetime.
Here for a good time
Not for a long time.

If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you
and share with you its beauty
On the days you're feeling blue.
If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own
A place to find serenity
A place to be alone
If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea
But all these things I'm finding
are impossible for me.
I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair
But let me be what I know best
A friend who's always there.
xmas..?
Hello Craig son , well i know its a wee bit early but i have just bought Vicki,s christmas present which will be delivered in about 3 weeks, hope she is happy with them although im sure she will be especially after what our stars said today. I had the wee man last night , we sat and cosied in and watched the fantastic four (silver surfer)on dvd (used to be my nickname) heh heh and we had some munchies as well . He was very well behaved . Was speaking to a lass that is dating 1 of your old mates and they had popped out to see you and left some flowers, he is well impressed although very sad you aint around anymore . Was thinking oh getting that red swivle chair n stool ,( oh so comfy) but cant make me mind up , not like me ha ha. Have you met Connie yet x ?. It was quite funny really as i was visiting Sue the wee dog sat bolt upright and was staring at the window as though she had seen her coming up the path but it was just my reflection in the window (white hair) poor wee thing, but she will be well looked after.Oh well son i had better get on with what im doing .Look after everyone for me ... lots love n missing you as always son . take care up there xxxxx mum xxxxx
Hi m8
Well,I've got back into riding the bike a wee bit more now. I'm off my work just now because of a training injury I've picked up but I intend riding up next week to say hello for a bit m8. I'll bring some pink flowers with me in my tank bag.
Sometimes this all hits me like a ton weight, like tonight.
Stay safe up there Craig.
