David Russell Peterson

January 6, 1968 - August 4, 2020

David Russell Peterson, 52 of Fond du Lac was called home to heaven on August 4, 2020, with family by his side after a courageous battle with cancer. He was born January 6, 1968, the son of Russell & Audrey Peterson. David was a lifelong resident of Fond du Lac. He lived a simple life, thinking of and caring for others more than himself. He loved his family and cherished his friendships. His family remembers a couple of his favorite things, numerous rides on a Breezy aircraft and putting many miles on his Schwinn bicycle. He didn’t let politics hinder his life; we all wish to learn from his philosophy on life. He worked for Tolibia Cheese, FDL Stone, Rademann Stone and his most recent employer being Combination Door. He was a hard worker all his life. David is survived by his father, Russell, Fond du Lac, sisters and brothers: Tammy (Jim) Warner, Rosendale, Beth Muldoon, Fond du Lac, Linda (Dave) Sonnenfeld, Fond du Lac, Jeff Peterson, Fond du Lac, Connie Fisher, Oakfield and Gary (Sara) Peterson, Van Dyne; 13 nieces and nephews, 18 great nieces and nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
