Craig E. Patterson

I was SO saddened by the news of Craig´s passing. The world has lost a wonderful person. My late husband Andy and I met Craig and Terry at our first ALS meeting. Craig´s & Terry´s optimism and friendship uplifted us and many others in spite of a devastating shared diagnosis. ALS is a terrible thing to have in common - as a patient or caregiver - but encouragement from others on the same awful journey helped make ours a little more bearable. Thank you both.
My prayers are with you, Terry, and your family as you mourn.

We met Craig and Terry at our first ALS meeting. His smile, his positive attitude and his contributions to discussions helped us deal with this terrible disease. We never thought the last time we would see him was during the last Zoom mtg. May he be resting in peace and his memories kept alive in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know him. Hugs, prayers and love to Terry and their family as they navigate this next chapter.

Craig was the first person with ALS (PALS) that I met at the first ALS support group meeting that I attended. He was very gracious and welcoming, while I was terrified of my new diagnosis. I am eternally grateful for gaining his friendship, as well as that of his amazing wife Terry, and stepdaughters, Tricia and Kayla. The love and generosity shared with me will never be forgotten. Rest in peace, my friend.
