Bert was also a Board member of Habitat for Humanity of Washington State and will be remembered for his passion and tireless advocacy for those in need. He was truly a servant of God. Rest in peace Bert.

Remembering Our Friend, Bert Pedersen

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our dear friend and longtime Habitat for Humanity volunteer, Bert Pedersen.

Bert began volunteering with us in 2007, and his commitment to Habitat’s mission quickly became a cornerstone of our organization. In 2008, he stepped up as Interim Executive Director for seven months, guiding our affiliate with wisdom and care during a time of transition. Two years later, in 2010, Bert was elected Board President, where his steady leadership and compassionate spirit continued to shape our work and our community.

Beyond his leadership roles, Bert gave so much of himself to help Habitat families thrive. He shared his expertise by offering financial fitness classes to partner families, empowering them with the tools to build stability and strength long after their homes were completed.

Bert’s kindness extended through his church family at Faith Lutheran Church, who lovingly created quilts for each new Habitat homeowner. Bert personally delivered these quilts to our office, ensuring every family felt wrapped in warmth and welcome.

Bert’s generosity, faith, and unwavering dedication to helping others have left an indelible mark on our organization and in the hearts of everyone who knew him.

He will be deeply missed by all of us at Habitat for Humanity of Mason County.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Bert’s family, his Faith Lutheran Church community, and the many lives he touched through his years of service.

Across Washington, many volunteers are getting ready to swing hammers on our Veteran’s Builds. Thank you to those who served in our armed forces, and those who help make sure they have safe, affordable housing.

Practice love!

Today, on the largest annual day of service in America, we are reminded of President Carter's description of Habitat for Humanity's work allowing us to "walk the talk."
