Peter Terence Hardy was a beloved husband, son, father, grandfather, uncle, and friend.  Born in Chilton, England, he lived a life filled with love, laughter, and music that touched everyone who knew him.

Peter is survived by his devoted wife, Yolanda, with whom he shared a beautiful life.  After marrying Yolanda on May 15, 2009, he moved to the United States in 2013, settling in Little River.  There, they built a warm and happy home, shared with their cherished feline companions: Sasha, Pepper, Kittie Spice, Baby Boo, and Ballerina.

In England, Peter leaves behind his loving mother, Enid, his daughter, Claire; son, Ricky; grandchildren, Ella and Thomas.  He is also survived by his four sisters; Lynne, Alyson, Anita, and Karen as well as his nieces, Megan and Robin; nephews, Ross, Curtis, Bradley, and Reed; brothers-in-law, Andrew, Mickey, and Ian.

A skilled electrician by trade, Peter worked with Brogden Electric, where he was known not just as a talented professional, but as a loyal colleague and dear friend.  However, Peters true passion was music.  A gifted stand-up bass player, he brought energy and joy to every stage he graced.  He was a proud member of the Sureshots and Some Like It Hot and also performed with Slippery Jake and the Bad Brakes, Mark Sinnis and 825 among others.  He played for legends including Linda Gail Lewis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, Billy Lee Riley, and more.  Peter never hesitated to pick up his bass, if someone need music, he was there, playing with heart and soul.  Peter was also a great cook.  He loved to barbeque and make his British favorites.

Peter was one of a kind, generous, and full of life.  His cheeky smile, kind eyes, and boundless warmth made an impression on everyone he met.  He made friends around the world and had a rare gift for making people feel seen, supported, and loved.

He was taken from us far too soon.  We will miss him every day and carry his spirit with us always.  Until we meet again, Peter, keep rockin' and rollin'.

With all our love,

Your family and friends.
