Gary Peterson, age 61, of Henning, passed away on November 20, 2023, at his home. A Celebration of Life was held on Saturday, January 20, 2024, at Belmont-Karvonen Funeral Home in Henning, with Rachel Stout officiating.

Gary Lee Peterson was born on September 26, 1962, to Elvin and Lorraine (Schwarz) Peterson in Richfield, Minn. He, his parents and his siblings (John, Jim, Dale and Dave) shared memorable time together, on family vacations, camping trips and at his parent’s lake home. Gary enjoyed helping his parents build and maintain their Alexandria lake home, and assisted them with other tasks needed.

Gary enjoyed shooting pool, playing cribbage, and rooting for his favorite Nascar driver, usually with the last name Earnhardt. Gary adored his grandchildren, all of which he enjoyed teaching how to work on vehicles, droning, driving RC cars and trucks and his favorite hobby of all – shooting air rifles and pellet guns.

Gary was a wonderful man who loved and cared for his family. He always went out of his way to help his family and friends. He was a very talented mechanic and enjoyed working with his hands. Gary helped his brother, Dale, with rebuilding the engine of a ‘79 Renault LeCar. He had a corny sense of humor, which many enjoyed.

He will be missed by all. Preceding Gary in death are his parents, Elvin and Lorraine Peterson; and his older brother, Jim Peterson.

Gary is survived by his special friend: Tammy Guggenberger; children: Sondra Warner, Rob Warner, Jordan Warner, Monika Krog; 10 loving and beautiful grandchildren; brothers: John, Dale, and Dave; many other relatives and a host of friends.
