Additionally, he worked at Pizza Hut, Energy P.H.D., Hansen Well Drilling, H2Optimal, and NP Mart.

He is survived by siblings, Ana Capek of Brooklyn, NY, Pat (Ann) Peterson of Fremont, NE and Mary Taylor of Wahoo, NE; nephews, Owen, Lance and Sam; many other family members and friends. A devoted son, Mike was preceded in death by his parents, Lyle and Loretta Peterson, and brother, Jon Peterson.

To Ana and family,
My deepest condolences to you and your family. I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your brother.
May God help to get you through this difficult time.
Mike was a long-time friend of the Murray family. Growing up, he was one of the guys I’d see from time-to-time on the weekends, pitching in to help my dad with whatever fix-it or build-it project he had going on at the time. Mike was such a nice guy. Very laid back, funny, and eccentric in a good way. To me and my sister, his black glasses were his trademark. The last time I saw Mike was about two years ago at my grandpa’s 90th birthday party. My dad had to be out of town that day, so I took a few pictures of Mike with my grandpa and sent them to my dad, joking that Mike was filling in as him for the day. I think he even stood in for my dad in the picture with my grandpa and his other six children. It was hilarious. I’ll miss Mike. He was one of the good ones.
Our prayers are with the family-Mike will be missed.
Fond memories of working with Mike at Pizza Hut
So sorry for your loss, I knew Mike through the Sloup family. My summer vacations in Wahoo always put us having fun with Mike, bike riding and swimming. May he rest in Peace.
Ana, It is so(I don’t really know the words)so hard to let go. Mike will always carry a special place in your heart that no one else can ever fill.
Mike looks so much like your Dad-how awesome. I think the last time we ran into each other was out at South Haven-gosh time really does fly. You were with your Mom coming to visit someone & my Mom was living out
There. I will keep praying for you Ana! Sharon Breunig
