It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Dennis Carl Peterson on May 12, 2024 at the age of 87.

Dennis was born September 24,1936 in Metiskow, Alberta. At the age of four, the family moved to a farm south of Camrose. Dennis graduated from Camrose Lutheran College while farming with his dad. In 1958 he met Ardis (Meadhal) whom he called "my love” and they were later married in 1960. They resided on the family homestead. In the early 70’s the family moved east of Camrose and Dennis went to work for Alberta Transportation. In 1994, Dennis and Ardis moved into Camrose and when he turned 65, Dennis retired and went on to enjoy his dream job at Double Dam Golf Course where Ardis joined him a few years later. With this position, they were able to enjoy travelling in the winter.

Dennis will forever be remembered for his love of sports, camping, hunting, fishing, farming and foremost, his love for his family.

He is survived by his loving wife, Ardis, children; Michele (Gord) Friesen and Mark (Denise Gordeyko) Peterson. His brother-in-law, Hugh Dennis and sister-in-law, Pat Peterson. He leaves a legacy in his grandchildren; Jennelle (Nolan) Christians, Tylor Friesen (Jessie), Kelly Friesen and his great grandchildren; Carter Christians, Bently Christians, Ainsleigh Christians, Hayleigh Friesen and Justin Friesen. He will be remembered fondly by numerous nieces and nephews. Dennis was predeceased by his parents, Carl and Mamie (Nelson) Peterson, his sisters; Doris (Ben) Dennis, Vivian (Edward) Carlson, Lorraine Dennis and his brother, Gordon Peterson.

At his request, there will be no funeral service.
