Andrew W. Peterson

I had Mr. Peterson for second semester my freshman year and he was great. He always knew how to make us laugh and he wasn't afraid to be himself. He showed us that math wasn't all bad and we could have fun with it too. Even though I didn't have him for very long, I still felt his loss like a hit to the gut. When they announced the news Monday morning, I started crying so hard and just ran out of the room. I'm so sorry to all of his family. He was a great man. Always remember that he is always with us all. As long as we keep him in our hearts, he will never be gone. Stay strong and always remember God does everything for a reason even if we can't see it

Mr. Peterson was my teacher, my sophomore year first semester. Anytime I went in the classroom to go talk to him about math or about a personal peroblem he was always there no matter what. He listened when no one else would. If you ever needed anything he was right there to help you no matter what it was. When I heard the announcement over the intercom on Monday I bursting out crying. I dont cry. I hate it with a burning passion. When I heard my favorite teacher/support/ cheerleader/ and friend, took his last breath. I didnt know what to think and I still dont. The power and differences one person can Hold is amazing. Grief is one of the hardest things to deal with. Just try not to ignore it instead inbrace and celebrate.I hope everyone is doing the best they can right now. On those final words I leave you with a quote "Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no to-morrow. To forget time, to forget life, to be at peace."
Oscar Wilde

My prayers with the family sorry for your lost the best teacher I had thanks for everything we will miss you thanks for all your help for being there when I need you thanks Rest In Peace

I had a great week with you Mr. Peterson and I was looking forward to have a great year. You would always laugh and smile when I made a joke or when that class made a joke. The first week was awesome with you being in it and I couldnt task for more. Thank you everything you done for us and I really hope I had the chance to see you again but since you left us I cant we cant. We knew each other for five days but it felt like we knew each other for a long period of time and when I got home all I can think of was why?, why did you leave us? It was too early for you and it was too early for us. I actually cried knowing I wont get to see you again I wont be able to see you in my class when I walk in that 6th period door it just tears me apart knowing that you wont be with us anymore. I had fun getting to know you playing the connection circle game I mean that was the greatest time we had as a class trying to pronounce each others name. Mr. Peterson I wish I would have talked to you more and ask to get to know you more and asked you what your favorite hobby was and what you like to do for fun, but now I cant I was too late. The last thing I could remember was you talking about Math Intervention you said that it wasnt for students that came in late and for students that didnt try. It was for students that try so hard and they still dont get it it was for us to get better so you can be happy. Seeing you happy was something that made me happy but now well have to walk in the class not seeing that smile on your face. I wish the best for your family and may god bless them and now were also happy that youre in a better place may you Rest In Peace and we love you so much Mr. Peterson Rest In Peace youll be miss.

I was one of Andrew petersons Student, Im a sophomore and Ive only had his class for five days, and I felt like Ive know him for a long time even though it was only five days, Mr. Peterson always had a smile on his face and he was always happy as we saw him. Ill never forget that smile. He told us that math was his favorite subject and that he would teach us all of his ways, but now hes gone, he has left the world and we cant do anything about him but keep him in our memories and hearts. I barley knew him but I can say Ive know him well enough to say hes a wonderful teacher, and he always made class fun for us all. We love you Mr. Peterson and may you Rest In Peace.❤ Well miss you....❤
