I am so sorry to learn of Kevin's passing. We worked together at the Days Inn, Lethbridge, beginning in 2000. I always enjoyed our visits. He loved to laugh and joke around, and always had a smile on his face. He made those around him better, and was the very best of colleagues. My condolences to the Peterson family at this time.
I am so sorry to hear of Kevin's passing. Although I never met Kevin in person, we spoke often on the phone. He was always considerate and kind, and always ready to offer a helping hand. For myself, and on behalf of Otto Fritz Masonry, I would like to express condolences to family and friends.
Tammy and Kyle, Greg, Alan, Connie and family - I'm so sorry for your loss. Regardless of time and distance, friendships endure. Kevin was my close friend and I'll miss him. He was always kind, funny and happy. The last time I saw him we laughed, told stories and swapped memories for 2 hours!

I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Kevin through his years of work with the Lethbridge Main Street Project and building conservation projects across southern Alberta. He was a cheerful fellow and I always looked forward to our meetings at a jobsite. Kevin consistently went above and beyond, devoting extra time to challenging projects and finding creative, practical solutions to make those projects a success. Many fine historic building are with us today because of him. I will miss him greatly. My thoughts are with Kevin's family and friends.
We have lost a true gentleman and a gentle man. We will miss him.
I just want to send my deepest condolences to all of Kevin's family!
Sorry to hear about Kevin's passing.
Our sincere sympathies to Tammy, Kyle and the Peterson family. So sorry to hear of Kevin's passing. He was one of our favorite classmates. Well liked, funny and witty. He will truly be missed.
So sorry to hear of Kevin's passing. Much has already been said of the wonderful person that Kevin is. I had opportunity to get to know Kevin while being one of his roommates in the mid-late 80's while we were YSA's together in Lethbridge. Kevin always had a smile on his face and was a great friend. My prayers and thoughts are with you. Tony Yee Calgary
I am so so sorry for your loss. We had only just recently become acquainted with Kevin as he did some work for the plans to restore our heritage house in Lethbridge. Kevin was the first person who really understood the needs for the restoration of our home. He came up with several creative solutions for the renovation. Last summer he came over to our house with his son and worked a whole day to cover over the gap caused by a collapsed wing wall so it would be safe from the elements for the winter and didn't even charge us for it. We were so much looking forward to working with him this coming summer. I can't believe how much of a shock this must be for his family. He was such a lovely man and although we did not know him well we really enjoyed his personality and his way of being in the world and with people. The world is a sadder place without Kevin. Our deepest condolences to his family, friends and loved ones. We wish you strength in the coming difficult time.
Deepest Sympathy
We've had the good fortune to talk to Kevin many times over that last two months. His typically, "shouldn't take more than a couple weeks" project went well into month two. We would laugh and kid daily that he was right on time! My father, Scotty, had an enormous affinity for Kevin - as an occasional employee, sometime contractor, and all time friend. The entire family, past and present, at Gentlemen III are saddened by the loss to all of this wonderful man.
We send our love & prayers.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Tammy
You are forever in our hearts and our prayers. Love you dear friend!
Grateful to have known one of my closest friends, Kevin Peterson. Words are inadequate at present but firm hope in eternal life brings needed comfort for us all in our time of sorrow and grief.
Sincere sadness and condolences

Myself, and all my family are saddened by this. My dad and mom were especially fond of Kevin and he will be missed. Our sincerest condolences to all.
We are so sorry for this sad news. We would like to send our heartfelt love to Kevin's family. We have wonderful memories of Kevin. He was such a good, solid talented kind friend. We will be thinking and praying for you and your family. Love Craig and Mary Ellen Smith from Hill Spring
Upsetting sadness on weekend about my friend Kevin. First met in year 2000 as Kevin became my boss. This man was always laughing and enjoyed all topics of conversation including farming and 80's music. Kevin was so proud of his son Kyle and wife Tammy as talked and brought to work numerous times. Great work memories of Kevin and myself joking around and just laughing. Love you and see you later Kevin.
Deepest sympathy
Our family is extremely shocked and saddened by Kevin's passing. We are praying for Tammy, Kyle, and the rest of the family.
I am so sorry for your loss. Kevin was such a wonderful genuine man a great friend to everyone. I know he will be deeply missed by so many.
I was shocked and saddened this morning when I learned of Kevin's passing. I haven't crossed paths with Kevin for many years since I no longer live in Southern Alberta, but I have many great memories of Kevin during my young adult years in and around Lethbridge. He was always the life of the party, a great friend and example of some who lived accordingly to their beliefs. May your family be blessed with peace and comfort from Heaven during this difficult time.
Sincere condolences to the family. Multitude of hugs to Connie and Kevin Addy.
