PETERSON, Keith Gerald

passed away peacefully in his sleep at home in Scotch Creek, BC on Thursday, May 1, 2008 at the age of 66. Keith was born in Hanna, Alberta on September 16, 1942 and raised on the family farm in Caroline, Alberta.

Keith is survived by his loving wife, Doris, four children and three step-daughters: Greg (Sheila) Cave, Kamloops, BC, Sherrie (Jim) Ehman, Thousands Oaks, California, Wes (Tammy) Peterson, Vanderhoof, BC, Brad Peterson, Kimberley, BC, Crystal (Brian) Levesque, Scotch Creek, BC, Nadine (Neil) Levesque, Kamloops, BC and Denise Malo-Peterson, Invermay, Sask., mother Elizabeth Heck, Salmon Arm, BC.

The many people with whom he worked with, his hunting and fishing buddies and all the many friends he made over the years will remember Keith and what stories they would be able to tell. Keith was also a member of CASARA and he took great pride in the volunteer work he did with them. Keith loved the outdoors and many of his and Doris days were spent searching for new lakes to fish and camp at. He retired from the Sheriff’s Services in 1999 and moved to Kamloops to be with Doris and also to be closer to his parents.

Keith was a loving caring person and the favorite uncle and grandpa; he is going to be dearly missed by all who loved him.
