Patrick Peterson Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Ratterman Brothers Funeral Home - East Louisville on Dec. 5, 2025.
Patrick Corrigan Peterson born October 8, 1994.
Patrick passed away from this earthly world on November 21, 2025 to everlasting peace.
He is survived by Cathy and Paul Wessel, who he referred to and considered as Mom and Dad, his mother Prudence Peterson, his father John Peterson and five siblings – Alex, Kristen, Will, Madeline and Sean. He is also survived by many aunts and uncles and cousins. In addition, he is survived by Paul's children, Lauren and Michael Wessel.
There was a post on Facebook that was very poignant:
"Patrick Peterson was a bright light who had a wealth of life yet to live. I know he indeed left a lasting impression on our hearts. So, as we all prepare to spend the holidays with our families let's offer some extra prayers for his and others that have experienced the same thing, as they will be preparing to celebrate his life be mindful of the beautiful souls walking amongst us - we never know what anyone is going through behind closed doors."
A private service was held by his family. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to NAMI in Patrick's memory at donate.NAMI.org/memorial.
