Kelly Bruce Peterson

One of The last time I saw Dr Peterson he reminded me that I have known him over half of his life!! He had joined the practice with Dr. Miller and I had an appointment and I was told I would be seeing a different Dr and that was the start of many many memories!! So many stories! The last time we talked he interrupted my teeth cleaning to tell me about his new car !! How many people can say when I go to the dentist it´s fun!! Iam truly sorry for your loss! He will be missed. Sincerely Chris black

The Lauzon family has been with Dr Peterson for upwards of 20 years. The kind, professional and sincere welcoming demeanor at every visit always felt like we were part of the family. My boys have known no other dentist.
The news of Dr Peterson passing has me in disbelief. Such an accomplished Dr. But more so, clearly dedicated in faith, a philanthropist and an amazing husband, father, grandfather and mentor! Dr Kelly Peterson, you will be sincerely missed forever. Our Condolences to family and the professional family, our hearts are heavy for your loss, our prayers are for you all.

Dr Peterson was the kindest, most sensitive dentist with regards to my dental fear. Myself and my husband have been patients since around 2009 because of how comfortable he makes the visits.
I appreciate his care so very much.
Thank you, Dr.

Dr. Peterson was a wonerful, kind and caring dentist. I admired his art in perfection, and how comfortable he made each visit. Sending thoughts and prayers to the family and all of his staff, for comfort and healing during this difficult time. He will be missed.

Today I called Dr. Kelli Peterson`s office to check on a dental record of mine and was told of his passing. I just lost it so very sad and I´m so sorry. He was a great dentist. Sending my condolences to his family and to Northwest smile design staff.

Dearest Kristi and family,
We send our love and tender feelings to you at this time of huge loss. Even though we only knew Kelly for a short time, we could tell he has always been a great man. He is someone who blesses the lives of all that he comes in contact with. He certainly did that on our recent Africa Train Trip. Kristi, it was such a joy to travel with you and Kelly through Africa. You both are people full of light and goodness. We could feel that from you and certainly witnessed your overwhelming generosity in blessing the life of Johannes, our African bus driver.
Our love and prayers are with you and your family. Much love, Rob & Diane Prince

Dr. Peterson was such a blessing to me. He knew exactly how to help me through my fear of going to the Dentist. He was truly one of the nicest men I have ever met. My heart and prayers go out to your entire family, and I so sorry for your loss.

I have been a patient of Dr Petersons for the last 15yrs. He has always been so kind. You can tell by talking with his staff how much he is loved. Sending my heartfelt condolences to his family and staff, he will truly be missed.

I may have only known Kelly for a few months while I had the opportunity to serve as a missionary in the Snohomish ward, but he was one of the coolest guys I had the opportunity to meet on my mission to Washington.

Dr Peterson family and staff, thinking of you I've been a patient of his for over 20 years many of my friends have worked there and several still do. He was such a kind and gentle dentist and will be missed. Lots of good memories and trips with his staff he treated them like family. So sorry for your loss his spirit will live on in all of you.

Kelly was an excellent dentist and was committed to helping his patients, his family, his community, and the world at large.
He will be sorely missed.

I had the privilege of knowing Dr. Kelly Peterson as both a colleague and a friend. He was an exceptional dentist whose passion for the field was evident in every conversation we had. I´ll always remember our time together in the Spear study club, especially the lively discussions where we´d play devil´s advocate on treatment plans. Kelly had a brilliant mind and a kind heart, and he brought both to his work and his relationships. He will be deeply missed.

God Bless Dr Kelly Peterson and his family. He was a kind and noble man, and a great Dentist. May he rest in peace.

My heart is saddened by the loss of such a wonderful man and dentist. Kelly has been my dentist since I moved to Washington 30 years ago and I will miss his smiling face every time I go to the office.
My deepest condolences to his family, friends and co-workers. His love and generosity will be held in your hearts forever.

I grew up in the same ward with Kelly through Jr High and High School. What an amazing man he is!! He was always kind and funny. I am so shocked by his passing, I am so sorry for his family, his beautiful wife, kids and grandkids, my heart goes out to you all and I hope you will feel the peace and love of our savior Jesus Christ at this hard time. I am also so sorry for his parents, you never expect to bury your child. I am grateful for Kelly's example and kindness to me and so many others. You lived life to the fullest and touched so many lives.

Peterson Family,
We were very sad to hear the passing of Kelly. He has been our family dentist and a true caregiver for his patients.
Taking the time with us when we would see him. We can´t thank him enough for all the kindness and care. We will miss him.

Kristi and family, so sorry to hear of your loss. Kelly was certainly loved and known by so many. I heard about this down here in Georgia from a friend in Oregon!
Kristi, I have been in a similar situation, and I know how deeply your loss is felt. Just take it one da at a time.... Sometimes one moment at a time. Mush love, empathy and hugs from Bev-Anne and June Frost.

Michael and Teresa will truly miss one of the finest dentist we both have had to take care of us. His passion for his patients and knowledge will be extremely missed. Our love and prayers to his family and friends.

So sorry for your loss, I hope your family knows how much he was appreciated by his patients. May god bless you and your family

Kelly was my best friend ever. He was always kind, thoughtful, funny; we shared so much. From ping pong, tennis, Fresh Aire, double dates, football and basketball games, and endless escapades at Idaho Falls High School -- to rooming together after our missions at BYU, working as guides at the Ramses II exhibit, intramural basketball, and working toward our biology degrees and graduate school. Kelly was absolutely one of a kind.

The most important thing about Kelly: he always made me feel better about myself. I know he genuinely loved me and cared about me. He truly understood me, even with my faults and idiosyncrasies. I know the Good Lord has accepted Kelly with open arms.

I love and miss you already, brother. Godspeed until we meet again!

I knew Kelly from the 35th ward growing up and from Idaho Falls High School. He was an amazing guy, and I am so glad I knew him. My prayers go out to his family and friends. The world is a better place because of him. Janece Cheney

Dear Kristi and family,
We send our love, faith, and prayers for you, as you grieve and negotiate life-transition without your husband & father, Kelly. May you be encircled in the love of the Lord...and each other.

My pictures didnt' come through for some reason. I'll try again.

I am so sorry for your loss! Prayers sent for you and your family. If you need to talk I would be glad to spend time visiting.

This is from BRYON and Laura Biggs our hearts go out to you but what a wonderful life Kelley lived and shared! We made a contribution to his charity on your behalf. Thank you for that.

Here are some more...

I'm so sorry to hear about Kelly. It made me think of all the time we spent together working with the young men. I went through some of my old pictures and found some great memories.

Kelly and Kristi were the first kind people I met when I moved to Snohomish. Just doing a kind service, their faces stuck with me. Many years later my family and I attended church. Kelly and Kristi introduced themselves, familiarity written all over our faces. The answer came to me, they were the ones who were so kind to us. I was so grateful to know them, and get a chance to say thank you once again. I meant it this time, with love for these shining souls. We got to have a game night and laugh with them. I'm so happy we had these moments with Kelly and his beautiful family. They are in our constant thoughts and prayers. Thank you for being you. We love you.

So sad at the great loss. May all the heartfelt prayers be felt by his family.

Our family is so very sorry for your loss. We have many cherished memories of the times our families spent together laughing and having fun. We will always remember Kelly with great fondness. Please know we are thinking of and praying for comfort for your family. All our love, Greg, Rhonda, Kristi, Danielle, Spencer, and Tanner Wilcoxson
