John Peavey was a great founder and supporter of the Trailing of the Sheep. He was very generous to facilitate the family’s sheep for the trial many of the years.
IN MEMORY OF JOHN PEAVEY
It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our beloved Festival founder, local rancher, former Idaho State Senator and family-man, John Peavey.
With his wife Diane, he was an icon of the Sun Valley community, loved his sheep and his ranch and educated so many about the animals and the land. All this while sharing moving, funny and inspirational stories with all who listened.
He will be dearly missed by his Trailing of the Sheep Festival Family, and we will be planning a way to honor his legacy with the community and our Festival-goers later this year.
Our deepest sympathy and condolences go out to his family and all who knew him. We look forward to celebrating him, all he did and all he was, very soon.
