Obituary for Jerald Lee Peterson
Jerald Lee Peterson, age 74, passed away at his residence on April 3, 2024. He was born to parents, Edwin and Florence (Gunderson/) Peterson on June 9, 1949, in Wisconsin. He was the oldest of four boys.
He enjoyed listening to music, especially the CD’s that his brother, Goody made for him with all of the oldies. His passion was golfing, which he continued even after some health changes. Family and friends were also very important to him. He worked as an advanced caregiver in a group home for many years. Jerry would love the smiles on his clientele faces when they all went out to do activities and would always be ready to wipe a tear away when they were sad.
Jerry is survived by his nieces, Jada Alloway, Loren Alloway and Avalon Alloway; sister-in-law, Bobbi Peterson; best and longtime friends, Pat (Kelly) Rogers and Mike Meyer and family; additional good friends, Rick Kubsch and Ross Loose; neighbor, Jim Case; property manager, Mike VanDeera; and many other distant relatives and friends.
Preceding him in death was his mother; father; brothers, Randy, Dennis and Goody.
The family would like to extend a thank you to all of the staff at Aurora, Parkview, PortaCare and Bella Vista, for all of their kindness and compassion shown during the last few years.
