Peter Fuglestad Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 22, 2025.
Peter "Pete" Fuglestad, age 59, passed away on August 18, 2025. He went home to be with the Lord after battling carcinoid cancer for over a decade.

Born October 1, 1965, in Minneapolis, Pete had a lifelong passion for science and teaching. As a 1989 graduate of Concordia College in Moorhead, he spent 26 years inspiring students as a science teacher at Stillwater Middle School, retiring in 2021.

He is survived by his loving wife, Denise; children, Luke and Kelsey; parents, Edson Vercel and Marcia Fuglestad; and five siblings. He held close to the legacy of his grandparents: Edson and Clara Fuglestad, and Edwin and Rosella Pearson.

A memorial service will be held on September 5, 2025, at 3:00 PM at Waverly Gardens Chapel, 5919 Centerville Road, North Oaks. Visitation begins at 2:00 PM, with refreshments to follow the service.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
