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.
