Per David's request, he did not want to be mourned but for his life to be celebrated. Therefore, a Celebration of Life will be determined by the family at a later date. Donations may be made to the Cancer Association. Fond memories and condolences may be left at www.geringchapel.com. Gering Memorial Chapel is assisting the family with arrangements.

He is preceded in death by his father Carl Peterson Jr, sister-in-law Pamela J. Peterson, maternal and paternal grandparents, a great niece and great nephew and numerous aunts and uncles.
