Mr Craig, from Livingston, was taken to the Western General. He died on Sunday. | |
He was a leader for a jogscotland group called Livi Road Runners. Billy Mitchell, head of jogscotland, said he would be sorely missed. | |
He said: "We are terribly sad to hear that Peter has passed away, and our hearts go out to his family and friends. | |
"Peter trained as a jog leader last year, and inspired his colleagues at Asda in Livingston by setting up a workplace running group. | |
"More recently, his great enthusiasm saw him extend the group to reach out beyond the store and welcome people from the wider community." | |
He added: "We are tremendously grateful for everything he achieved, and we know his group members will sorely miss his encouragement and expertise. | |
"His legacy will certainly endure in the lives of those he inspired to get active, and in the friendships forged and strengthened through his group." | |
Mr Craig lived in Livingston but grew up in Dumfries where he attended St Joseph's College and still had family. | |
Sgt Gary Taylor, of Police Scotland, said: "This was a tragic accident and our thoughts go to Peter's family at this very sad time." |
