Friends and family farewell Hunter Valley bus crash victim Angus Craig
Friends and family have gathered to farewell Angus Craig, who died in the Hunter Valley wedding bus crash, at a funeral on the New South Wales south coast.
The 28-year-old engineer was killed along with nine others in a bus crash following a wedding reception at the Wandin Valley Estate in the Hunter Valley.
The funeral for Craig is the first of the formal goodbyes for the victims of the bus crash tragedy which was one of the worst NSW road accidents in recent history.
Craig has been remembered by his family as a special man.
“He’s collected really close friends his entire life because he has this special way about him of opening up and being so genuine and honest,” his older sister Georgia said last week.
Attendees at Craig’s funeral have been asked to make a donation to a cancer charity in lieu of flowers.
Many of the mourners at the funeral were celebrating the wedding of Mitchell and Maddy Gaffney two weeks ago when the horror crash occurred.
The pair were present for the service this morning along with dozens of other grieving family and friends.
Mitchell and Craig were once housemates in Singleton in the state’s Hunter region.
Memorials for the nine other victims are expected to be held over the coming weeks.
