Peter Judson Mabey passed away peacefully on June 30, 2026, at the age of 83, in Longview, Washington, surrounded by all his children.
Peter was born on September 23, 1942, in Pocatello, Idaho, to Ada Marie Williams and Judson Emerson Mabey. He was the second of six children. He was raised on the Lazy K Ranch in Bancroft, Idaho, where he developed a lifelong love of the land, animals, and the outdoors. The values of hard work, curiosity, service, and kindness that were instilled during his childhood became the foundation for his life.
After graduating from North Gem High School in Bancroft, Idaho, Peter faithfully served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the New England States Mission. He later attended Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, earning a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry. His love of learning led him to complete a master's degree and ultimately a Ph.D., both in Environmental Engineering. Whether reading ancient history, studying the geography of biblical lands, or conducting experiments in his home laboratory, Peter's curiosity never ceased. He believed that learning was one of life's greatest joys.
In February 1974, Peter was sealed for time and all eternity to the love of his life, Mary Ann Brusco, in the Provo Utah Temple. Mary Ann brought with her two children, Jeff and Michelle, whom he embraced and loved as his own. They later welcomed Ginger and then Angela into their family. The family eventually settled in Kelso, Washington, where Peter and Mary Ann purchased a home in Lexington and lived for nearly 50 years.
Peter honorably served his country as a United States Marine Corps aviator. As an F-4 Phantom pilot during the Vietnam War, he flew 225 combat missions with courage and distinction. He served on active duty from 1968 to 1973 and again from 1975 to 1978 before continuing in the Marine Corps Reserve until 2002, retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel.
Following his military career, Peter worked for Weyerhaeuser, where he combined his scientific knowledge with a strong work ethic throughout a distinguished career before retiring.
A faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Peter served in countless callings throughout his life. Of all those opportunities, his favorite was teaching Sunbeams-the three-year-old children in Primary. It perfectly reflected his gentle spirit and Christlike love.
Peter found joy in life's simple gifts. He grew extraordinary berries and fig trees, hiked and camped in the mountains, and raised rabbits, quail, guinea pigs, and even a pet pig named after his sister, Polly. He treasured the Lazy K Ranch where he was raised and often spoke of it with gratitude and affection. He found wonder in all of God's creations.
Perhaps Peter's greatest gift was the way he loved people. He welcomed everyone without judgment, accepted them exactly as they were, and had a remarkable ability to make them feel valued. His intelligence was exceptional, but his kindness was even greater. Though he flew hundreds of combat missions, earned advanced degrees, and enjoyed a successful career, those who knew him best will remember him not for his accomplishments, but for his gentle heart, quiet humility and unwavering faith. His family will forever cherish his example and find comfort in knowing he is once again reunited with his beloved Mary Ann and cherished granddaughter Mariah.
Peter is survived by his children Jeffry (Cindy) Roundy, Michelle (Don) Runger, Ginger (Tyler) Wheatley, and Angela "Angie" (Tom) Judd; 14 grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; and siblings Polly (Max) McCammon, Clint (Laura) Mabey, and J Adam (Nancy) Mabey. He was preceded in death by his wife, Mary Ann; granddaughter, Mariah; his parents; brother, David Mabey; and sister, Rebecca King.
Funeral services will be held at 10 am on Saturday, August 1, 2026, at the Kelso meetinghouse of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (2884 North Pacific Avenue, Kelso, Washington). The family will greet friends before the service from 9-9:45 am. Interment will follow at Cowlitz County Cemetery, Castle Rock, Washington, with full military honors. In accordance with Peter's wishes, a portion of his ashes will be laid to rest beside his sweetheart Mary Ann, while the remaining ashes will be scattered at the Lazy K Ranch in Bancroft, Idaho-the place he always considered home.
The family wishes to express their heartfelt gratitude to the dedicated staff at Monticello Assisted Living and Eden Hospice, who cared for Peter with compassion, dignity, and respect throughout the past year. We will forever be thankful for the exceptional care you gave him.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you honor Peter's memory by visiting a veteran, thanking them for their service, listening to their story, or performing an act of kindness for someone in need.
