It is with crippling sadness we announce the passing of our beloved Craig on Friday, June 4th 2010.

It's important you know that Craig died a sober man and fought as hard to stay with us as we fought to keep him.

Words fail to express how much I will miss my best friend. I feel very blessed to have had eight incredible years with him.



You burned the life so fast
You burned so bright...


Rest in peace my supernova...

And I'll catch you on your way round...

Life Loves The Lover Of life...
and life loved Craig.

Craig You Are A Diamond. You Sparkle..

I have just learnt of the passing of Craig. I don't know what to say except that he changed my perspective on music. I love Lowlife and I love Craig's voice. I am still in shock. I feel for all of his family and friends and please know that you are all in my thoughts.

Love,
Scott

RIP - Thought and prayers to his family and loved ones - Gone but not forgotten

Sleep well Craig, the music you made will play on -

Craigie and I were best mates at Middle School. Somehow we managed to combine our love of basketball ( we were in the starting five of the Moray Middle Team that narrowly lost the Scottish Cup final)with our love of Punk (endless afternoons sitting on that sofa in the front room listening to the Ramones and Stiff Little Fingers.) Inevitably, life took us different ways. I've lived in London for the last ten years, and have been away from Grangemouth since 1987.But two years ago when I was back visiting my maw, I saw Craigie in the queue at the shop at Charlotte Dundas Court. By the time I got in there he was gone. God I wish I had caught him.
See you later pal - say hello to Bobby for me. I hope your loved ones cope as well as they can without you.
I always thought you'd be there, and you are, every time I remember. You will always be a star my friend. Iain

Dear Craig I am one of those who always loved your music since the very beginning. Copies of your Lps and Cds jealously kept in the shelf... all your music always in my music player .. when I will listen again to your voice my heart will shiver.. I hope that now you will be rewarded for all you suffered ... GOOD BYE CRAIG !

Very sad indeed.
Moved to tears.
I didn't know Craig, but his voice and lyrics always evoked an emotion.
Therefor he will always be special to me.

Craig Rest in Peace!!

I've not looked at this board for quite a few months and in an idle moment this morning I have clicked onto it.

We knew that Craig was not a well man, but this is tragic, tragic news. I only knew him through his lyrics and music and I don't think I have encountered many more powerful artists in both the style of his writing and singing.

I feel it a great privilege to have discovered Lowlife's music relatively early in their career and will always love and listen to the beautiful albums they gave us and remember fondly the one time I saw them play.

Craig, Rest in Peace, there is not much more I can add...................

love u forever big man ill be with you and my dad soon .never forget you,love ur wee nephue dave xxxxxxxx

It was with great loss that I heard of Craig's passing. His lyrics and lowlife's music have kept me alive for 45 years. A trually inspirational talent of a writer and totally in touch with the working masses. His lyrics and music pour scorn on today's manufactured grot. I eventually hope to shake your hand and thank you for keeping me sane.
