Today we remember our dear friend, Dr. John “Doc” Peterson—physician, musician, peace activist, and a man who dedicated his life to caring for others and working toward a more compassionate world.
Doc believed that music, medicine, and kindness could all be powerful forces for healing. Those who knew him will remember not only his accomplishments, but his generosity, curiosity, and unwavering belief in humanity’s capacity for peace.
Our hearts are with his family and all who were fortunate enough to call him a friend.

Thank you for everything. Rest in peace, Doc.
