I was thinking about how long I knew Sam. We met in Miss Gary’s third grade class at Washington School. I haven’t seen him in years but I will always remember that nice blonde kid with the huge sunny smile. My sympathy to all the Pettigrews.
Joan Flower Rudd says
Dear Pettigrew family~ Oh what a shock to hear this sad news today. Sam was such a great young man in high school and so kindhearted and thoughtful.

Mike Wallick says
My most vivid memories of Sam are of him singing with his band at the dances at the “Harmony Hangout” in Miles City in the 70’s. I can hear him singing “The Sounds of Silence” like it was yesterday. It’s a very sad day. My thoughts and prayers go to Parker and the Pettigrew family during this painful time.
Kay Carlson says
My deepest sympathies to all of Sam’s family. The Pettigrews have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. It was so nice to visit with Mrs. Pettigrew on my last trip to MC. My heart goes out to her and all the family.
Rick ottoy says

Pam (Moths) Nisley & Dave Nisley says
Dear Mary, kids, Earline, siblings and all of Sam’s family and friends.
My heart goes out to you, as I have been praying for a miracle healing for Sam. Our God knows best, but it is hard to understand. My memories are many and treasured. What a fine neighbor and friend as we grew up. Mary, you and Sam completed each other 🙂
At our last class reunion, it was delightful how you both are so warm and genuine, always the same, true to character.
Hold onto the incredible memories, how rich all of our lives are…..because of Sam.
Hugs and prayers your way.

To all the Pettigrews
I remember going to school with Sam and how much fun he was. I also remember working with him at the Airport Inn. Sam was the one who taught me how to make pizzas when I wasn’t waitressing. I will always have fond memories of Sam. God Bless the whole family.
Shannon & Bryan Holmen says
Oh Mary, I am so sad for you and the rest of his family. You are one of my oldest childhood friends and my hear is breaking for you. He will be so missed. My prayer is for your hearts to heal. Gods love.
Sandy Anderson says
We are so sorry about Sams passing. The Parker “kids” will keep you all in our prayers.
Cathy Hall Emerson says
To all the friends and families of Sam. I too worked at the Airport Inn and have some very fond memories of Sam and Mary. Once they took me to Wibaux with them and I listened to the band. I remember all 3 sons when they were just babes and my heart goes out to you three today. May God carry you through until you meet again. I won’t be able to attend the funeral as I am out of town.
Chris and Diana Elwood says
I’m so sorry to hear of Sam’s passing, he was a good friend in high school, I loved to hear him sing and he was one of those guys that was honest, true and loyal. He will be missed by many. Our prayers are with the whole family.

With warm thoughts and prayers for the family.

Sam has been a family friend of mine and classmate most of my life, I am so sad to hear he lost his battle with cancer, I have so many fond memories of our times together, my thoughts and prayers are with his family during this really sad time.
Jud and Juanita Flower says
Our daughter, Joan, remembers Sam so well. He played in the band for her Miss Southeastern Montana competition. He was a fun friend to be around. We remember the “good old days” of living in Miles City and having many friends of our children come to our home. God bless Sam’s family.
Pam Fuson Erickson says
I, like so many others, have very fond memories of Sam. What a great guy – always a smile on his face and something nice to say.

Tina Martelle Sticka says
I am so sad to hear about this. I am so sorry for Mary and all the family. Sam was one of the very few who were nice to me in high school and I always remembered him for that. Mary – I have known you and your whole family for my whole life – I have no word to express how sorry I am for you. I was so happy for you when you and Sam got together.You two were perfect together. I pray for peace for you, your kids, and the rest of the family. God bless all of you.
Lori Hartse says
I was shocked to read of Sam’s passing. I had not seen him in many years, but I remember him being a very kind person. I send my sympathy to all of the Pettigrew family in this time of need.
God be with you.
Karen Morris says
Seems like only yesterday when we were all young and in school together . . . Sam’s smile and laughter will always be remembered. He was one of the real “good guys” and those of us that knew him were all better for it. Heartfelt condolences to the family in this difficult time. May you find comfort and solace in your memories.
Truman & Judy Bovee says
I have been a dear friend of Sam’s sister, Peggy, since we were in third grade. I spent many many hours in the Petigrew house and I consider them a part of my family. Sam was an intelligent, hard working and kind person. Whenever he visited Miles City, he pitched right in at the Airport Inn doing anything that needed to be done, from cutting meat to changing a light bulb. He was a kind and gentle Papa to his grandkids and I believe that says a lot about the kind of man that Sam was. Earlene, Peggy, Pete, Parker, Pam and Mari, you can all be assured that Sam is in a truly blessed place, free from pain and competing for head angel. I will miss you my brother, Sam. God Speed. Love, Judy
Pastor Ray and Dorothy Thomas says
The Pettigrew family:
We were saddened to hear of the death of your son, Sam. Our sympathies are with you.
May God give you His strenth and comfort in Jesus, our Savior. God bless all of you! I remember Sam from confirmation class, Sunday School and regular attendance at worship services. Great and fond memories. The resurrection of Jesus is always our hope.
Jackson, MI.
Nettie Honstain says

Dave Gluyas says

He will be missed,
Jeff Witcher says
Dearest Pettigrews: It’s hard to hold back the tears as I read about Sam, his loving family, and all the thoughts of so many former classmates and friends. That list, by the way, reads like a “Who’s Who” of CCHS–with Sam at the top of the list. Though it’s been a long time since the summer of 1974 when Dad moved our family to Texas and I left Sam, Parker, Rick Jones, and the rest of the Band, it really seems like yesterday that we were all downstairs in the Pettigrew home, firing up the old tube amplifiers and the Fender Rhodes piano, eating great snacks prepared by Mrs. Pettigrew, and having another jam session. Though I came from the “other” side of town, Sam and Parker took me in and made me feel like family. The love for music I developed in the Band helped me find my precious wife, has blossomed in the lives of six beautiful children, ten wonderful grandchildren, and countless students I’ve had the privilege to serve in 29 years of band directing. In a very real way, I owe a great musical debt to Sam. He was the leader of the Band. His courage, strength, vision, and friendship impacted my character and help me become the man I am today. God be thanked for Sam Pettigrew and his influence on so many lives. May the Prince of Peace bring comfort to all who morn Sam. I know that we will yet hear him play and sing!
Matt Schmitz says
May God wrap you all in his loving arms as you struggle with your loss. Sam was a very bright light to so many people, for so many years. I will forever cherish our friendship. His smile lit up every room he ever entered, and I will be forever grateful that Sam thought of me as a friend, and I know I am a better man for having known Sam. Please know that your sorrow and grief is shared by everybody that knew Sam. His mischevious smile will be greatly missed. God Bless you all.
Patti (Green) Ireland says
Peggy, how full of grief I am for you and your brothers and sister! I know how difficult this time is for you, having lost my little sister, Michele, when she was just in her 30’s. It is earth-shaking to lose a sibling, especially when they are so young. I miss Michele still. I know that there will always be an empty spot in your family. I’m praying for you, that God will wrap you in His arms and give you comfort and peace.
noel allison says
As a former employees of the Pettigrew family at the Airport inn I and my wife Ronda would like to send our deepest sympathies, thoughts and prayers.

We were so saddened to hear of Sam’s passing. We just saw him this past summer in Miles City and had a real nice visit with him and Mary. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family during this trying time.
Cindy Jardine Dickson says
I was so sad to hear of Sam’s death. He was such a great guy to be around – so upbeat and positive. I have so many fun memories of him and the great music he played at the Episcopal Hall and Harmony Hangout! So many laughs with him!! I pray that our God of Comfort will provide your families peace during these tough times.
Cindy and Dale Berg says
Peggy and family,
So sorry to hear about your brother. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time. God bless you.
Jim Spell says
I knew Sam only through our shared love of aviation. In some ways I believe this to be the purest of friendships. It has no alternate history, no immediate issues, just a heartfelt shared appreciation of what is true and now, trying to fly a model airplane. I remember commenting to others at WIA flying field how Sam’s flying had improved so dramatically in recent flights. Inverted fly-byes, stall turns and more, he just seemed to have a confidence and grace that frankly I have never experienced in all my modeling. When he attended Wings and Wheels, he drew young and old alike to his enthusiasm for flight. He shared and gave of himself tirelessly and continuously throughout the day. Needless to say by three PM, the rest of us had slowed down a bit, but not Sam.
His dry humor revealed a great deal and in my laughter there was always a kernel of personal truth that needed visiting, however reluctant I was to do so. His quiet, gentle manner, concealed a great strength borne of experience and wisdom. From his smile I realized that while he liked pretty much everybody, he liked me too. And that became more and more important as we became real friends. I will miss Sam more than I know right now.
… To family and friends, I share your sadness in the news of Sam’s passing. You are all in my thoughts and prayers, but especially Sam. Because he was a friend.
Nancy Jo Sweeney says
My memories of Sam go back to Junior High and Mr. Hale Swanson’s band…as well as the Band that played for all of us at our dances at the Harmony Hangout!! And loving to hear those guys play “American Pie”……Sam held a bright spot in many of our hearts, as I can tell from reading all of these missives. He had the greatest smile…although I hadn’t seen him in years, the picture I see of him shows that his smile remained as beautiful as ever.
God Bless you all…I pray for healing for your hearts.
Maureen Larson says
Dear Pettigrew Family,
My heart and prayers go out to all of you during this sad time. May your memories of Sam comfort and sustain you while you heal. God’s blessings and my deepest heartfelt sympathy to all of you.
Ray and Terri (Jardine) Schmidt says
To all of the families of Sam Pettigrew,

Karen Shanley says
I’m honored to have worked with Sam the last 7 years! He brought such passion to his work and will truly be missed. He was one of the most kind-hearted people I’ve ever known- my thoughts and love are with his large network of family and friends as they grieve the loss….and celebrate his life! What a guy!!
Tanna Peterson Aye says
Sams passing has shocked us all. Being his locker neighbor through HS and attending
every dance the band played has us reflecting back to those carefree days. My heart goes out to you all for this tremendous loss. Sam will always be remembered for the good things he has done and for the fine family he and Mari raised. May God bless you.
Becky Bultemeier says
Sam was a great co-worker, always so friendly, happy and on top of everything. We miss him. I could always go to Sam with an idea and he would be my tester of new processes. He was always willing to try it out, evaluate and make things better. I loved working with him. He made us better by knowing him. The staff at Eagle River Water & Sanitation will forever have special memories of our most special friend and co-worker, “Sam Pettigrew”. Mari, our love and support are with you and your family.
Bernie Buelow says
Dear Pettigrews – So sorry to hear of your horrible loss.
John Friestad says
Sam was a great guy to work with here at The District . I got to play a round of golf with him and his old boss a few summers ago and we had a great time that day. He was always upbeat and had a positive outlook. I’ll miss seeing him in the local parades and at the car show every summer. So sorry for his family from his passing away too soon.
Amy Moore LaBree says
Same from our family to all of you.
Harriet Blumhorst Graf says
Dear Earline and family,
May the words of Jesus in John 14:27 give you comfort at this difficult time. “Peace I leave with you,” as you rest in the assurance of eternal life in heaven. May His peace and comfort be with you in the days to come.
Sincerely,
Harriet Blumhorst Graf
Tim Drescher says
Sam took me skiing the first time I ever got the opportunity to go in the Rocky Mountains. He helped me replace a spare part on my car probably within a month of meeting him. I knew him as a co-worker, boss and more importantly a friend. We lost a good one way too soon. He was very kind and would go out of his way to help with almost anything. He had an outstanding character and I’ll miss him.
My condolances to his family and loved ones.
Matt Brubaker says
Sam was one of my dearest friends. We went through a lot of growing up together, we got in some trouble together, we laughed a lot together, and I wouldn’t change any of it. The Pettigrew family always treated me like a part of their family and my thoughts and prayers are with every one of you. Sam was one of the best and I will miss him.
Susan Moreno says

Butch & Kolleen (Waldo) Forsyth says
Such sad news to hear. Out sincere sympathies go out to the entire family. We value our last visit when Sam & Mari stopped to see us in Baggs, WY on their way from Colorado to Miles City a couple summers ago. It meant so much to us to see them. We have fond memories of Sam growing up and hearing how much he enjoyed his grandchildren. This breaks our heart as Butch and I both spent countless hours at the Pettigrew house when we were in high school. We watched Sam, Parker and Pam grow up.
Our condolences and prayers are with you.
Tom & Penny (Sumer) Schmidt says
I was so sorry to read of Sam’s passing. I remember when I was growing up seeing him and all the Pettigrew family at church .

Bill Nancy Andrew Adam Abel says
Sam was a hero to my two boys when they were small and they had not even met him yet. They were awe struck just from the stories I would tell them about him. In my memories of my best times of my younger days Sam is in there in most of them leading the charge with that “we’re getting away with something” grin of his. Backpacking, skiing, flying, “socializing”, road trips, concerts and goofing there was Sam. Our love and prayers go out to you and your family, bud. I love you man!
Ellis Neuhardt says
Parker and Pettigrew family I was so shocked of your brothers passing. I remember playing bass for Sam at Go Western Days I think he sang some John Denver songs he was was a great singer and musican I always wanted to hear his band play at the Harmony hangout but it always seamed I was playing somewhere else when he was playing May God bless and give your family comfort in your loss

Our deepest sympathy to all of the families involved. I remember all of the Pettigrews and always looked forward to talking with old friends when they came home to visit. Our whole family grew up with the Airport Inn and Sam will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all
Doreen Pinkham Womack says
Reading all these wonderful memories and special moments from everyone has made me so glad to know many of you, and I am especially glad to have known Sam. His rendition of “Stairway to Heaven” in Choraleers, singing with him at music festivals, band playing at The Hangout, the Airport Inn, we went to his Senior prom together. I had not seen him in many years and wish I could attend his service. To the Pettigrew and Rogers families-I send my deepest sympathy. May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with Sam comfort you always.
Marc and Denise Hartse says
We didn’t know Sam personally but we’ve been associated with the Pettigrew family for many years due to their playing in my father’s high school band and also from all the years we’ve gone to Airport Inn. Everyone in the family has always been very kind to those in mine and we’ve always enjoyed any interaction we’ve had with them. Denise and I are very sorry for their loss, especially in the case of Earlene. We wish all the family the very best in the future and are saddened by any event that harms those we care about. Our deepest condolences.
Dan Siebert says
To say Sam was a great guy would be an understatement. When I first moved to Colorado Sam invited me to his home for Thanksgiving because I had no family in the state. This allowed me to see Sam in his personal element; father, friend, husband. All of which he was stellar at. I can only hope that I can emulate some of the character that this man had. He was my boss and my friend, and embodied everything I was looking for when I moved to mountains. Thanks for the laughs Sam. I’ll never forget you.
Paula (Hartse) Hufford says
Mari and kids, and all the Pettigrew and Rogers family:
I was so sorry to hear about Sam. My Dad and I had just talked to him at Airport Inn a short time ago and I’m so glad he came over to our table to chat. He will definitely be missed by everyone who knew him. My deepest sympathies-
jude hardesty says
Dear Pettigrew.Family,
I was deeply saddened to learn of the death of Sam. Earline. This is not the natural progression no mother should have to bury a son. I hope that.

liz (Wilson) Shearer says
