Harold K. Pedigo, 96, of Metamora, Illinois, formerly of Washington, Illinois, passed away in the early morning hours of Saturday, March 21, 2026, at Snyder Village in Metamora.

He was born on October 5, 1929, in rural Knox County, Illinois, to Robert and Frances Hill Pedigo. He married Beverly Caldwell on March 30, 1950, in Creve Coeur, Illinois.

Surviving are his wife of Metamora, along with their four children: Sharon (Gary) Carroll of Hopedale, Illinois; Steven (Karen) Pedigo of Rockford, Illinois; Connie (John) Haase of Peoria, Illinois; and David (Becky) Pedigo of Ripon, Wisconsin. He also leaves behind 15 cherished grandchildren, 28 great-grandchildren, and 4 great-great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his two brothers, Lynn J. and Robert E. Pedigo III, and his sister, Helen Freeman.

Harold was proud to serve as an honorably discharged U.S. Army Veteran during the Korean Conflict. He started his journey at Caterpillar Tractor in May 1947, right after finishing high school, and spent most of his remarkable 43-year career working in the tool room.
