July 19, 2011
Joshua Richard Peters, 29, died in a car accident near Libby, Montana, on Friday, July 15, 2011. Services will be held Tuesday, July 19, at the Sandpoint Assembly of God Church with Pastor Brian Noble officiating.

Josh was born in Sandpoint Idaho on December 5, 1981 to Richard and Carrie Peters. He was a mischievous child from the time he was two, and that behavior followed him for the rest of his life. There was always a twinkle in his eyes and a silly little grin on his face whenever he was up to something.

Josh graduated from Sandpoint High School in 2000. He had a lot of friends and was very competitive; he loved many sports and activities. Of those activities his real passions were basketball, softball, pool, bowling, hunting and working security for the Copper Mountain Band.

Josh started working at Litehouse Inc. at age 16 while going to school and continued working there until 2009. Josh married Katherine Dunton in 2000 and together they had two beautiful daughters, Julia and Mackenzie. They later divorced, but Josh continued to be a loving and devoted father.

At the time of his death Josh was living in Bonners Ferry with his long-time girlfriend, Stephanie Lederhos. He was working at Green Gallons Solutions, and when possible he traveled with the band providing security.

Josh is survived by his parents Rick (Brigitte) Peters of Moscow and Carrie Peters, all of Sandpoint; his daughters Julia, 11, and Mackenzie, 5; brother Jeremiah and wife Megan Peters, Sandpoint; sister Elise Tucker, Sandpoint, and half sister Samantha Peters, Moscow; grandparents Joseph and Janet Peters, Hope and Blanch Harvey, Sandpoint;and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.

Josh was preceded in death by his Aunt Terri Peters, Uncle John Hunt, Uncle Steve Hunt, and grandparents Stan and Colleen Hunt.

We all loved Josh and will miss him terribly. He lived with great love of life and enthusiasm.
