Harold Peterson Obituary

Harold Robert Peterson III

Our dear brother, father, and friend Harold Robert Peterson III passed away on September 1, 2025. Each of his 66 years represented a life filled with adventure, love of the outdoors, and caring for the people in his life. Born and raised in Minnesota, he eventually found his home in Montana along the Madison River. Harold would always show up when you needed him most. He loved to work and was an accomplished carpenter, mechanic and outdoorsman. He made friends wherever he went. His many beloved dogs were his constant companions.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Harold and Mary Peterson.

He will be severely missed by his children Jason (Arianna) Peterson, Harold Peterson IV, and Abigail Peterson, siblings Barbara Peterson, Rolf (Kathy) Peterson, and Susan Peterson, four grandchildren, numerous nieces and nephews, and many great and caring friends. Rest in Peace, Harold. We are so fortunate to have called you our brother, father, and friend.

A memorial gathering will be held spring/summer of 2026 in the Madison Valley area of Montana.

Memorial contributions may be made to Little People of America (www.lpaonline.org), a cause close to Harold's heart.
