It is with shattered hearts and profound sorrow that we share the heartbreaking news of the passing of Peter J. West, beloved Co-Founder of HEWN.
Peter’s boundless kindness, generosity, and compassion touched everyone fortunate enough to know him. His vision and creativity were the foundation of HEWN, but his legacy goes far beyond his work. He built more than a company — he built a community rooted in care, respect, and a shared passion for craft and beauty.
To those of us who knew Peter personally, he was more than a leader; he was a friend, a mentor, and a guiding light. He had an extraordinary ability to make each person feel valued and seen, and his unwavering belief in the power of human connection left an indelible mark on all our lives.
Peter’s impact reached far beyond our community, touching lives across the design world through his work, his words, and his deeds. His laughter, wisdom, and gentle spirit will remain with us forever, a reminder of the profound difference one person can make.
We have lost a remarkable man, a loving soul, and a cherished friend. His absence leaves a void that can never be filled, but his memory will continue to inspire and guide us in all that we do.
