PETERSON

1957 — 2020

It is with heavy hearts that the family of BARRY WAYNE PETERSON, beloved husband of Sandie (Waddle) Peterson, announces his unexpected passing at home on Saturday, May 9, 2020.

Barry was the first of three sons, born May 3, 1957 in Lethbridge to Herb & Shirley (Evernden) Peterson. He is survived by his wife, Sandie; daughters: Rosie Payne (Eric) and their children, Sophia and Samuel; Katie Casey (Dave) and her daughter, Ava; his mother, Shirley Peterson; brothers, Kevin (Jennifer) and their daughter, Lauren; Glen (Mia) and their daughters, Skye and Zara. He also leaves to mourn his faithful four-legged companion, Billy.

He was predeceased by his father, Herb, in 2009.

Barry went to school in Lethbridge and, after graduating, became an electrician and worked on such places as the Buffalo Jump, Raymond Hospital, and many others. In 1996, he purchased Lethbridge’s Harley-Davidson dealership as motorcycles were a passion he shared with his dad. He took great pride in his family-run business and always tried to be fair with his customers.

Barry was a warm and caring husband, father, grandfather and friend who always put his family first. He loved them dearly and was very proud of his kids and grandkids.

We will all miss him terribly.

It’s been an awesome journey, love! Have a great ride on the other side BEAR.

Due to the current gathering restrictions, a Private Family Service and Graveside Service will be held. A Memorial Ride in Barry’s honour will be announced at a later date.
