Robert Peterson Obituary
Ventura County, CA
Robert James Peterson passed away peacefully on February 27, 2018, from complications of a 5-year battle with cancer and leukemia. Robert was born December 16, 1948.
Robert grew up in Burbank. He was a fabulous guitar player and was in several bands when he was younger.
He went to Woodbury University and became a talented interior designer. Later, he earned his Juris Doctorate degree. He was an enrolled member of the Oglala Sioux Nation, and he provided training and support for Indian Education programs nationally.
Robert was a wonderful father, grandfather, and husband. He will be remembered fondly with much love and adoration by his three children, Mateo, Nicole, and Jenny, as well as grandchildren, Kira, Chase, Jamie, Tristan, and Brandon, and the two great loves of his life, Christine and Lisa, his sister Madelaine, nephew Kirk, niece Wendi, many half brothers and sisters and other family members, as well as his animal companions, Boo, Mugsy, Plankton and Cornelius.
Robert will be dearly missed by all. His spirit and memories will live on through his family and friends. His final interment will be at the Columbarium of Memory, Great Mausoleum, Forest Lawn, Glendale.
