Robin Lee Peterson, 60, passed away unexpectedly due to a heart attack on Nov. 8, 2023.
Robin was born on Aug. 25, 1963, to Darrell and Helen Peterson. He grew up on the family farm in Turtle Lake, Wisconsin, where he attended school and he spent his time helping his Dad in the barn and fields. After graduation, he started a family and resided just down the road from his childhood home. He loved to bring his kids down to the farm and spend time with them doing work around the farm. He drove a semitruck for many years; first for Dennis Gille, then most of his life for Becker’s Trucking and most recently for Farm Service. During his many years of driving truck, he created lifelong friendships with farmers and co-workers. Everyone who was lucky enough to know Robin knew just how big of a heart he had.
Rob leaves many great memories with his four children, Chris (Jamie) Peterson of Amery, Travis (Melissa) Peterson of Turtle Lake, Heather (Jordan) Rush of Turtle Lake, and Jamie Miller of Turtle Lake; his mother, Helen; six grandchildren, Kristy Nelson, Katie Peterson, Madison and Carter Copeland, and Addie and Bryer Rush; siblings, Michael Peterson of Spokane, Washington, Debbie Peterson of Amery, Cindy (Mark) Luehman of Amery, and Kristi (Mike) Ottosen of Amery; nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles and many other relatives and friends.
He is reunited with his father, Darrell Peterson; aunts and uncles, Gary and Sally Peterson, Neil Hughes, Jane Hegeman, Darlene Perrin and Kathy Krantz; as well as his best friend, Phil “Chugger” Seeger.
Funeral services were held at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 14, 2023, at Zion Lutheran Church, Turtle Lake, with Pastor Steve Miller officiating. Burial followed at Mt. Hope Cemetery. Pallbearers were Stretch Broker, Tim Becker, Jim Becker, Mike Ottosen, Danny Peterson, Brad Peterson, Dean Sellent and Bruce Miller.
