David Peterson Obituary
Fond du Lac - 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.
He was preceded in death by his mother Audrey (Giere) Peterson, brother-in-law, Rick Muldoon, great niece Morgan Mouw, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, other family members & friends.
VISITATION: Friends may call on Sunday, August 16, 2020 from 12:30 - 1:30 pm at Estabrooks Cemetery, N6710 Esterbrook Road, Fond du Lac.
SERVICE: A Memorial service will be held at 1:30 PM at Estabrooks Cemetery with burial to follow.

I have many special memories of my nephew David. At family gatherings he always had a smile on his face and was happy to see everyone. David and his brother, Gary stayed with me for a few weeks. David was three and Gary a toddler. Enjoyed having them! David is a kind, loving and caring person. Always in our hearts.
Love you.....Aunt Sandy
