Art was born on Aug. 16, 1950, in Holdrege to Lyle and Isabelle (Boston) Petersen. He lived in Alma until the family moved to Kearney. He received his education at Kearney Public Schools and graduated in 1968. He pursued a higher education attending Hastings Tech and graduated with a general degree in auto mechanics. He was drafted into the armed services and served in Vietnam from 1970-1971. He pursued different job interests dealing with auto, electronics and insurance, and was always learning something new. He retired in 2013 from Cummins Great Plains Diesel after 25 years of service and started his own gun repair service and sales.
On March 2, 1975, Art married his wife Edna (Obermeier) Petersen. They made their home in Kearney until moving to Axtell in 2000. Art enjoyed life with his family and friends. He was an outgoing person who would strike up a conversation with anyone who would listen and always had a good story to tell. He loved everything to do with being outdoors, hunting, fishing, camping, etc. He was always teaching his sons and granddaughters about life. He loved politics and always had an opinion on everything, just ask anyone who knew him. He was a member of the American Legion and the DAV.
Survivors include his wife of 47 years, Edna; two sons, Yancy of Axtell and Jared of Kearney; two granddaughters, Montana and Jaylin; a brother, Alan of Kearney; numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, nieces, and other relatives and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Lyle and Isabelle; two brothers, Carrie and Arlen; and a sister-in-law Kelli.
Memorials are suggested to the family to be designated later.
