RIFLE, Colo.—A man who held elected office in Garfield County for parts of four decades has died. Pete Mattivi died in Rifle at the age of 93.
Mattivi’s daughter Pam Bunn says Mattivi died Saturday in his sleep.
Mattivi once served simultaneously as a Garfield County commissioner and mayor of New Castle. He also owned a Studebaker car dealership in New Castle.
Mattivi was commissioner from 1957 to 1977, and was mayor of New Castle twice, finishing his last term in 1981. He also found time to serve 10 years on a local school board and on the original board of Valley View Hospital in Glenwood Springs.
Former U.S. Rep. Scott McInnis called Mattivi “the fiber of the community.”
