Mark was born April 25, 1957 in Staples to Richard and Phyllis (Chapin) Peterson. He grew up in Leader and after graduating from high school, he attended Central Lakes Community and Technical College in Wadena to become a Lineman. Mark married Bonnie Dykhuizen on May 22, 1982 at Trinity Lutheran Church. They lived in the St. Cloud area and in 1990 moved to Sartell. It was home for the past 34 years. Mark worked for Gold’n Plump as a truck driver for many years before retiring in 2015. He was an active member of Messiah Lutheran, even helping build the church and was very involved. Mark enjoyed many outdoor activities such as trapshooting leagues, fishing, snowmobiling and downhill skiing. He was a volunteer who found excitement in acts of service, especially doing carpentry work at Lutheran Island Camp. He truly was a jack of all trades. Mark had a strong faith and was calm, fair, protective of his family and friends and he always gave the best hugs. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
Mark is survived by one daughter, Lindsay Peterson of Sartell; one grandson, Roman Peterson; significant other, Karla Cool of Sartell; two brothers, Craig (Sharon) Peterson of Staples and Ronald (Sue) Peterson of Gillette, WY; two sisters, Sandy Lorber of Motley and Vickie (James) Hanley of Staples.
He was preceded in death by his parents; wife, Bonnie; one son, Kyle Peterson and infant daughter, Allison.
The family would like to thank everyone who put the time and effort into caring for Mark.
