Scott Michael Peterson

Scott Michael Peterson, age 60, passed away peacefully on December 15th, 2022 after a long, courageous battle with cancer. His loving wife Katie, his family and close friends were at his side to the end. Scott was born on October 10th, 1962 in Minneapolis, MN; and grew up in Columbia Heights. He graduated from Columbia Heights High School in 1981 and later went on to achieve his Associates Degree at Northwestern Electronics Institute in 1987. Scott and Katie lived on Lake Minnetonka in the Twin Cities, Lake Carlos in Alexandria, and Upper Whitefish in Pequot Lakes. Scott loved the outdoors and lived his life to the fullest-he loved boating, fishing, swimming, snowmobiling, sports and anything else Minnesota; especially the North Shore. Scott loved all the simple pleasures in life but especially spending time with his wife Katie and their dog Bosco. Scott was preceded in death by his parents, Jerry and Dora Peterson. Scott is survived by his loving wife Catherine Peterson (Katie Federman); three brothers: Mark (Pauline); Greg and Dave, as well as nephews and cousins. Scott proudly spent over 23 years serving his country, retiring as Chief Master Sargent in 2006. He enlisted in the US Air Force from 1982 to 1985, and then the Minnesota Air National Guard 133rd Airlift Wing from 1985 to 2006. Scott worked as a Fuels Specialist and an Information Technology Supervisor through-out his military career. In 2002, Scott was deployed to the middle east for 'Operation Enduring Freedom', and served in K2, Karshi-Khanabad Air Base, in Uzbekistan. Scott continued his work for the US government as an Information Technology Supervisor working for USDA Aphis from 2004 until his retirement in April of 2021. Scott had a passion for cooking, and was an exemplary cook. All who knew him got to enjoy many great feasts-especially his breakfasts! Scott's positivity, wit, and humor was infectious. He had an endless mental library of Ole & Lena and other jokes that always came out at the most opportune moment-and boy could he sing. He prided himself on being the "entertainer" for all who had the pleasure of knowing him. Special thanks to Cuyuna Regional Medical Center Crosby nurses and doctors for taking such great care of him during his final months. Family and friends are welcome to join us for a celebration of Scott's life on Thursday, January 5th at Washburn-McReavy Northeast Chapel, 2901 Johnson St. NE, Minneapolis, MN.
